Material-Specific Sink Tips
Composite Sinks
Use gentle scrubbing to avoid scratching the surface. For tough stains in a black, white, or grey composite sink, a paste made from baking soda and water can be applied, left to sit, and then rinsed away.
Ceramic Sinks
These require a gentle touch. Avoid abrasive cleaners; instead, use the dissolved cleaning tab solution for effective cleaning. For tea or coffee stains, applying a diluted vinegar solution can help.
Stainless Steel Sinks
Prevent water spots and rust by thoroughly drying after cleaning. For added shine, a few drops of olive oil rubbed in with a cloth can work wonders.
Belfast Sinks
Known for their durability, these sinks can still benefit from gentle cleaning with eco-friendly products to maintain their glossy finish.
Resin Sinks
Similar to composite sinks, they should be cleaned gently. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull the surface.

How To Clean Taps
1. Spray your Cleaning Spray GreenTabs™ cleaner on the tap.
2. Scrub gentle with a soft cloth or toothbrush.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Dry to remove water marks and restore shine.
✔ Tip: Wipe taps dry after every use to reduce limescale.
Material-Specific Tap Tips
Brushed Brass Taps
Clean with a soft cloth dipped in your eco-friendly solution to avoid tarnishing the finish. For limescale, a gentle vinegar solution can be applied sparingly.
Chrome Taps
They can be polished to a high shine with just a soft cloth and your eco-friendly cleaning solution, ensuring no abrasive materials are used.
