and got rated clean but not pristine :P

I never clean the plughole. What does this mean and why do I have to
do maintenance on it?

I'm just about to clean the insides of my bathroom plughole. Pulled
the plug out a couple of days ago, and the whole thing came apart ! A
non-stainless screw in the middle seems to have been the culprit, so
it's new plughole time.

I'd always wondered why the tiny en-suite shower-room had two
washbasins in it. Clearly forward planning for having used rubbish
pulgholes....

Sometimes I pour a kettle full of almost boiling water down the
plughole. If I remember, I follow up with half a bottle of ASDA
SmartPrice bleach, then leave it to stew for an hour before using the
sink again. I don't know whether it makes any difference.


Very bad idea |:-(( Porclein sinks easily crack if filled with a
lot of too hot water. Hand hot generally seems OK.
Better a grimy plug hole than paying to replace the whole lot as I had
to do. Same thermal problem applies to toilet bowls.

I clen mine very regil;arly - all of them, and often sluice some bleach
down as well to clear out accumulated gunk.

I take a bottle brush to teh overflow in the belfast sink too.

Not to mention a bog brush to teh nasty rear end accident the cat had in
the bath yesterday...thank go its got a shower head in it. (the bath,
not the cats rear end, but now I think about it..)

Would you have told us, had you been rated disgustingly filthy?

You don't have to, but I find mine collects grease if I don't occasionally
treat it with caustic soda.

It seems to take so little to be considered pristine.
