How can I remove this staining from my sink. Just moved into the flat, I think it has been caused by a dripping tap.
Many thanks. |

Or add some citric acid to boiling water and pour it on, it should just melt off |

Use descaler and carefully scrape it with stanley blade and holder. It will come off easy.

Lemon juice and steel wool. I didn't believe it either - until I used it, and the basin looked like new. |

lemon,a non chemical solution.
3 large lemons,cut in halves and squeeze juice onto kebab stain,then rub lemon over stain and leave for 6 hours then repeat several times.
do not drain away till clean.
chemicals also work.but if you get chemical in your eyes sometimes there is no reversal. |

I tried that once and it didn't work.
I tried it for a second night and it still didn't work.
On the third night I decided to try pouring the coke into the sink.
Hey presto.
