No problems with cleaning round the 'normal' taps in our bathroom and kitchen (use a toothbrush!) but those pesky taps in the downstairs toilet are on a corner sink and very close to the wall. I've tried everything to get behind them. Recently bought a selection of wire brushes but they are useless bend very easily and don't scrub hard enough! Resorted yesterday to a cocktail stick - but yes, it kept breaking. Do I need to grow a curly finger nail or is there a better solution please?

Crikey Elegran. Get your invention on Dragons' Den now! And invite me along as your demonstrator. I've just tried the onion bag method with a spray of Viakal for that cheeky under rim of my vanity sink where it joins the cupboard. It gets very dirty and gunky and I can't get a toothbrush under it. Hey presto, it came up sparkling!
Tip ..... when tying the onion bags together make sure you snip off the metal fasteners at the ends of the joins so as not the scratch the surface.

Sorry, I think maybe it was Baggs who made the suggestion.

I'd have to share the dosh with Baggs, she suggested the onion bags. You can be chief demonstrator. I hope you have your glamorous outfit ready!

Thanks. I've always wanted to meet Deborah Meaden in person!
