Cleaning water basins

here are a few suggestions for de grunging your water basins: 1. Detergent and water, in the microwave for a few minutes followed by a light scrub. 2. try bunging it in the dishwasher (I did this but still wasn´t satisfied) 3. A nice hot soak in steradent tablets followed by a soapy scrub with a green scourer...a little more work but it works for me. 4. Murphy´s Oil Soap, water and in the microwave. I don´t have access to Murphy´s so I can´t verify this one. Getting the picture here? It is heat that is doing the trick! It softens the paint so it will budge. I am not so sure it matters what you do as long as you use really hot water and a bit of elbow grease!
