Stardrops / Image Treatment by The Spruce

I spend a lot of time scrolling through TikTok, watching other people organize and clean their homes, and there’s just something about watching people tidy that's so relaxing to me. That’s how I came across the viral product, The Pink Stuff. Every single cleaning video that popped up on my "For You" page featured this "miracle" pink paste.

Paired with a Scrub Daddy (my absolute scrubber, ever), this cleaning paste seemed to do it all. I saw people cleaning their ovens with it, removing stains from the bottom of pans, making white ceramic sinks look new again, and so much more. I was also really impressed that it’s cruelty free and made with natural ingredients like quartz, sodium bicarbonate, and soap. Naturally I popped the paste and a Scrub Daddy into my cart while doing my grocery store order.

First thing I had to do was attempt to clean my oven. I will admit, it’s something I had never done before. On first use I noticed the paste was a bit gritty, and I was afraid it would scratch the oven door, but the grit actually helped remove the grease from the oven easily.

I’ve used it to remove limescale from the glass door in my shower and erase marks off of our wall that we got from moving furniture, plus I’ve gotten the rust and stains off of the burners on my stovetop (although this one did require a bit of care).

I used the Scrub Daddy to scoop the paste out of the container, and then I applied it in circular motions. I gently scrubbed and then left it to sit for a few minutes. Afterwards, I rinsed it off with cold water and was so surprised at how shiny everything was. I used a clean microfiber cloth to make sure I had gotten all of the paste off, and it left my oven sparkling. 

There’s no wonder this product is viral. A little bit goes a long way, and I have been so impressed with it. I have a terrible white, ceramic sink that is always covered in marks and The Pink Stuff has been able to clean it better than bleach ever did.

If that hasn’t sold you yet, maybe the fact that they have an entire cleaning range will. From a cream cleaner, multi-purpose cleaner, to a bathroom foam cleaner, I’m hoping to try out more of these products since they’re natural and inexpensive. 

So far, I’ve used about half of my tub of the paste, and I continue to find uses for it every day. I’ve used it to remove limescale from the glass door in my shower and erase marks off of our wall that we got from moving furniture. I’ve also gotten the rust and stains off of the burners on my stovetop (although this one did require a bit of care). TikTok was right about this cleaning paste.
