Cleaning the washbasin overflow

Shaving foam is a simple solution to clean the washbasin outlet. To clean your washbasin overflow with shaving foam, proceed as follows: spray plenty of shaving foam directly into the outlet and leave it to work for a few minutes. Then rinse the foam off with water. We recommend rinsing the water directly into the overflow. Finally, use a toothbrush to remove any visible dirt from the outside. 

Another household remedy you can use to clean the washbasin overflow is everyday baking powder. All you need is baking powder, vinegar, a funnel and a bottle brush or toothbrush. Use the funnel to pour two tablespoons of baking powder into the overflow and then add a small cup of vinegar. Leave the mixture to work for 10 to 20 minutes and then clean the surfaces with the brush. Rinse with lots of cold water to remove any residue. 

As well as baking powder, you can also use bicarbonate of soda to clean the overflow. Follow the steps described above but simply replace the baking powder with bicarbonate of soda. If you want to use vinegar to clean the overflow but without bicarbonate of soda, use an old, lint-free cloth. Soak it in vinegar and push it deep inside the overflow outlet. You should, of course, be able to pull it back out again. Leave the vinegar to work for an hour, then remove the cloth and rinse with water. Make sure you ventilate the room well!
