How to remove sugar soap from chrome radiator?

Apr 22, 2009 4 Replies

My chrome radiator in the bathroom is covered in drips of the stuff - any idea how to clean?



Have tried: white vinegar, white spirit, baby oil, water.


IIRC the modern version of sugar soap is just detergent with a fine scouring powder. Nothing that water wouldn't remove. Earlier formulations were highly alkaline which I suppose might attack chrome.

I thought the entire idea of sugar soap was that it left no residue?

On my packet (v. old) it says 'rinse thoroughly', which to me means using running water! I use Star Drops for cleaning paintwork and the new paint seems to last OK.
