Any suggestions how to get the pink stains out of my white sink when "S" DH(won't say what the s stands for)filled the lines with anti-freeze. I've tried several things and they are not budging.

That's pretty unusual because usually RV Antifreeze just goes away with a light flushing with water, even on plastic surfaces. Even after sitting all winter.

I've used Sof-Scrub with bleach - just spread it over the stains with a wet cloth, wait a few minutes and rinse. Don't scrub - it is abrasive and could harm the surface.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Maybe DH used super-duper anti-freeze cuz we're in Maine?

I'll second the soft scrub. And be easy on the DH! Or you could always give 'em a good

Maybe Oxyclean mix a paste with hot water then let it sit for a little while.


Have a great time camping,

Bleach removes a lot of stains... I've seen it turn a trailer, that was supposed to be white, but had turned black due to being parked under a tree, back to dazzling white.

But then I was using it straight

Simple problem. Put a paper towel in the bottom of the sink, pour some bleach on it and let it sit for awhile. Stains gone.

Fill 1/3 with water. Add 1/4 cup bleach. Let sit. Stains gone.
