I tried the Magic Eraser and its worked sort off, the stains are still there but very faint now, you have to look twice to see them - thanks for that brilliant Idea.

I still have the Magnetic White board on the way lol.

Hi

I found a load of pink marks on the front of my white dishwasher.....must have been something my OH was using and splashed over it (might as well blame him, I usually do! lol).......I tried neat bleach etc etc and nothing would remove them until my sister said to try Magic Eraser.

It's like a hard block of sponge and you just cut off the amount you want. It worked like a dream, I just rubbed gently until all the marks had gone and it didn't damage the paint on the door at all. I bought it in W*lkinsons and it wasn't very expensive and lasts for ages.

I agree CB is quite nasty. It's the only cleaning product that has irritated my skin.
I thought it read Fringe too. Pictured a lovely bright hair do.

CB is well nasty, same happend with my loo seat too. The bleach idea sounds the best. Good luck with it....

CB should be stuck in the bin, and Barry with it....

Firstly I am not the only person to turn something White, Pink with the dreaded stuff and secondly you have a tried and tested solution!!

I'll buy some tomorrow - I cant make it any worse!!

Two tone loo seat eh? At least it wasnt a yellow stain that would have been most embarresing!

Hi
Not a usual visitor to Chat but been looking in for a couple of days after some Hoo ha!!
Anyway that beasty Cillit bang gave pink stains on the white toilet seat after I sprayed it and left it to soak whist i cleaned the shower.Nothing would shift the stain and it looked decidedly orf,if you get my drift,!! I bought some Domestos Grot Buster which spells heavily of bleach and is very powerful, a couple of soaks with that and the Pink Staining was gone.

My evenings getting worse!!! My laptop wire just caught a candle on a side table and I now have wax down a leather magazine rack!! Ok I think I know this one leave it to set hard then pick off I hope!!

If not I can turn the magazine rack round lol!

I’ve just read the destructions on the C*llet B*ang - do not use on acid sensitive surfaces .....errrrr aren’t all surfaces well most house hold surfaces sensitive to acid?

Hi Maddie,is there a customer helpline on the product? If you can't get any sense out of that,try writing to head office with your complaint.

You never know,you may get a new fridge.

A good wipe with bicarb is all your white goods need,cleans,deoderises and disinfects all in one.

Eeeek Kitty, I read the link - thats a disaster waiting to happen for me. I have just remembered in my stash upstairs I have a magnetic jigsaw puzzle(have been getting xmas presents thought the year and stashing in the spare room). I think the quick solution is sit in front of the fridge tomorrow and do puzzle I bought for a neice.

I nearly bought some the other day but after reading the back of the bottle gave it a miss.I had a mishap with some product that I cleaned the chrome surrounding my shower cubicle and it has stripped the chrome.I think it might have been Viakal.I didn't read the instructions!!!!
