Astralux-type sinks a real pain to clean

One gripe I have with my new house is the kitchen sink which is of thehard plastic (Astralux?) variety. This stuff is actually very horridindeed. I am used to stainless steel sinks, or recently one of theIKEA Butler-style ceramic ones. Both were dead easy to clean,especially the latter. But cleaning this Astralux piece of crap,branded Leisure, is not a leisurely process at all. You have to scrubaway at the surface very intensively to get rid of the stains. And thesurface is so rough that you wear out scouring cloths in no time. Ihave resorted to using copious amounts of bleach, but as soon as I canthat sink is coming out.DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!MM
