What is The Pink Stuff?<\/h2>\r\nThe Pink Stuff is an Amazon cleaning product<\/a> that skyrocketed to fame on social media in the early 2020s. Just like its name, it quite literally is \"pink stuff.\" It's a multipurpose pink paste that eliminates stains, grease and grime better than most household cleaners, thanks to its so-called magic formula.\r\n\r\nShoppers can't stop raving about its ability to leave grout and tile looking like new, remove limescale buildup on sinks, leave stovetops sparkling clean, eliminate years of baked-on food residue inside the oven and so. much. more. Some users have found it even helps restore white shoes<\/a>. There's almost nothing the viral cleaning paste can't do.\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"48417\" type_of_player=\"jw\" \/]\r\n

Why is The Pink Stuff trending?<\/h2>\r\nThe \"TikTok Made Me Buy It<\/a>\"-worthy product has racked up more than 550 million views under #thepinkstuff<\/a> on TikTok for a reason. For starters, the cleaning paste<\/a> is just $6. Layer that with the fact that it miraculously cleans nearly every surface, and it's clear why it's an internet sensation. Shoppers love how it makes greasy ovens look like new, leaves sinks and tubs sparkly clean and even restores the bottom of burnt pans<\/a>. Its affordable price point is the cherry on top.\r\n

How We Tested It<\/h2>\r\n\"Hand\r\n\r\nIntrigued by the fact that The Pink Stuff cleans sinks and kitchen appliances like a pro, I immediately ordered a tub for my kitchen and bathroom. I went for The Pink Stuff bundle, which includes the cleaning paste<\/a> and multipurpose spray<\/a>. The spray caught my attention for the exterior of appliances and stovetops since they don't require as much scrubbing.\r\n\r\nI tested The Pink Stuff during my weekly kitchen cleaning routine<\/a>. This includes clearing everything from the counter to wipe it down, scrubbing the sink, cleaning the garbage disposal with the Glisten foaming solution<\/a>, wiping down the stovetop and microwave<\/a>, spot-cleaning the oven<\/a> and wiping the exterior of my appliances.\r\n\r\nEditor's note:<\/strong> Because The Pink Stuff paste is more abrasive, we don't recommend using it on glass, stainless steel appliances or areas prone to scratching. To be safe, I always<\/em> spot clean one area before applying it all over. The spray is safe to use on delicate surfaces, though.\r\n

Stovetop<\/h3>\r\nFirst up in my Pink Stuff reviews: the stove and oven. I used The Pink Stuff Multipurpose Spray for the stovetop and the paste for the oven. Starting with the stove, I generously sprayed the solution all over it. Then, I grabbed a sponge and Swedish dishcloth<\/a> to wipe it down. The area around the burners needed more attention, which is where the sponge came in handy. Pro tip: Wear dishwashing gloves<\/a> so it doesn't get all over your hands.\r\n\r\nI was impressed by how easily the burnt food residue lifted from the stovetop. Next, I wiped the rest of it with a damp Swedish dishcloth to make sure the solution was applied to every nook and cranny. To achieve a streak free finish, I spritzed a tiny bit more on a microfiber cloth and wiped down the stovetop. Success! No streaks in sight.\r\n

Oven<\/h3>\r\nNext, I removed the oven racks and got to work. I scooped a generous amount of paste onto a sponge. Several social media videos pair The Pink Stuff with Scrub Daddy products<\/a>. I don't have any, but my regular dish sponge worked well when applying the solution all over the inside of the oven and the door. I also took care to avoid the glass window.\r\n\r\nAfter the solution was applied, I let it sit for about 10 minutes while I wrung the sponge out and grabbed a microfiber cloth to finish it off. In just a few swipes, my oven looked noticeably cleaner (maybe even a little sparkly) and burnt food residue vanished. I spritzed some of the spray on the interior glass window and exterior of the oven to finish.\r\n

Kitchen Sink<\/h3>\r\nSpoiler alert: This is my favorite area to clean with The Pink Stuff. The kitchen sink is one of those areas that may seem like it doesn't need to be cleaned, but it does need a good scrub from time to time. I scooped a generous amount of paste on my dish sponge and got to scrubbing. Call me crazy, but scrubbing my sink with The Pink Stuff is so<\/em> satisfying. The best part is spraying it down. I swear my sink sparkles after using the cleaning paste. It always looks noticeably brighter and never fails to impress me.\r\n

Exterior of Appliances<\/h3>\r\nThe kitchen isn't clean until the exterior of my appliances are wiped down. I usually lean on the same multipurpose spray I use for my counters for the job, but I wanted to see if The Pink Stuff multipurpose spray worked better.\r\n\r\nI spritzed it all over the exterior of my oven, microwave and fridge. Immediately after, I wiped it down with a microfiber cloth. Much to my delight, fingerprints were gone, and there were no streaks in sight.\r\n
