Scouring milk as a plastic cleaner

Plastic objects that are dirty, grayed out, yellowed, become clean again when you use a cloth scouring gently massaged, allowed to soak a little and rinsed with clean water. Also helps with scratched surfaces.

Torja: Watch out. Scouring cream is designed for hard, non-scratch sensitive surfaces. The abrasives in scouring cream are harder than most plastic surfaces and scratch them - which causes a faster Wiederanschmutzung. Some types of scouring also contain substances that make plastic brittle.

A formerly white, now yellowed coffee machine e.g. will certainly look whiter after treatment with scouring cream, but on the now roughened surface, new dirt will settle faster and more stubbornly than before.

Therefore, I would only use the suggestion if the life of the object is soon reached anyway and I do not care until then that its surface is scratched and that I have to brush it even more frequently.
