"I have never been able to get rid of it since we purchased the house 12 years ago. So, I was skeptical but I thought, what the heck, the worst that can happen is I waste some tomato sauce.
"So I poured it on around the tap handle bases on my vanity. Covered the scum. Totally forgot about it for a few hours. I just wiped it off, no scrubbing at all. Scum is totally gone. I am totally amazed and I will share this tip with everyone. Thank you, you little lifesaver."
The woman shared photos of her grimy sink and where she'd applied the tomato sauce before leaving it to sit for a few hours.

One woman shared that she also had a go at the hack: "I did the same today! I left mine for maybe three hours. Worked so well."
But the unusual use for tomato sauce left many wondering what it was that made it such an effective cleaning agent.
"While tomato ketchup may sound like a strange tip, the condiment actually contains citric acid and vinegar which can help you clean."
They added: "Tomato ketchup can be used to clean stainless steel, copper, cast iron and silver, among other materials."
It seems the trick is known far beyond the likes of Facebook, with plenty of TikTokers also sharing videos of the secret cleaning power the condiment has.
