Stardrops The Pink Stuff The Miracle Cleaning Paste 850g

Bicarbonate of soda is a safe and easy-to-come-by product, so it’s no wonder that it’s used so much to clean surfaces and items in a home. Although, if you plan on doing a lot of cleaning with bicarb you should consider investing in a larger tub, or a more specialised bicarbonate of soda product.First manufactured and launched in the UK in 2002, The Pink Stuff has garnered a cult following over the years with users consistently rating it highly and singing its praises on social media platforms. The Pink Stuff entered the Australian market only recently, in 2021, and is currently only available to buy online. There are so many uses for bicarbonate of soda paste that it’s impossible to cover them all, so here’s a brief list for you: It is this high alkaline reading that makes soda crystals inedible, whereas bicarbonate of soda’s lower pH reading means that it can be used during the cooking process. It’s not suitable for every surface, and care should be taken on others to ensure it’s not leaving scratch marks as it is gently abrasive (if in doubt, test a small patch in an inconspicuous area) but we promise, if you add this little pot of miracles to your cleaning supplies, you won’t be disappointed.

The Pink Stuff is worth the hype. It performed brilliantly, removing dirt and marks from all of the surfaces we tried it out on. Despite being a little more messy than your average stain-removal spray, this product was also easy to apply, just as the instructions suggest. You probably won't need it for day-to-day cleaning, but it's a cleaner you'll definitely want around when a stain strikes. A tub of this size will see you through many different cleaning exercises, and of course, it can be used during cooking too, so that’s an added bonus. Baking soda is the American name for bicarbonate of soda, whereas here in the UK we prefer to call the product bicarbonate of soda, or bicarb for short. Or, you could buy some bicarbonate of soda from leading brands, like that of Dri-Pak or Arm and Hammer.

Multi-Purpose

Simply mix the water and bicarbonate of soda together in a pot, or whatever is most suitable, until you get a paste-like consistency. To determine whether The Pink Stuff is as miraculous as its fans – and marketing teams – say it is, we've put the product to the test on a pair of grubby white vinyl runners, an old burnt pan, a white ceramic sink and the stained glass on an oven door. I've been hiding this pan at the bottom of my cupboard for years, ashamed of the disgusting state it's in but in no way prepared to throw it out.
