Has anyone had any luck cleaning old soap scum from a bathroom sink? I have tried everything to clean the one here and it was not cleaned well when we moved in!    Nothing seems to work at all.

* neither was the floor but that is a different matter lol

Perhaps Dawn Powerwash? We seem to use this for everything!

Bar Keepers Friend.

Vinegar will remove soap scum. I am bold how I use it. The internet is more cautious. I soak a towel or cloth and lay it on the area that has the scum. The internet says to dilute it 1:1 to avoid damaging the sink. I have not diluted it, but I may have just gotten lucky there was no damage.

Two things I go to for hard jobs:  GP66 and Bio Cleaner, I buy both from QVC. I'm assuming you've tried Kaboom and/or Scrubbing Bubbles? Those normally take care of soap scum issues for me.

Also use a Mr Eraser.

I would try borax.

I spray ZEP several times a week on and in my sink and shower  really no scrubbing at all - just let it work.  It is an industrial strenght bleach cleaner.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have tried vinegar and tried barkeepers friend. I think I didnt leave any of what I tried on long enough!!

Someone told me toothpaste is good to remove scum. I use it on my br sink,but the sink is mine and not that old. Hows about one of those Mr. Clean Erasers?
