Right I've got the absolute bugger of a staing to remove from a kitchen drawer - Beetroot juice - tried all the usual methods, hot soapy water, lemon juice, lots of elbow grease, and the stain is still there.

Any tips?

Be interested in other options, but by far the best all round cleaning product I've ever used is flash "all purpose' cleaning fluid. Try some neat, though beetroot juice is the work of the devil.

Have you tried vinegar? White so to avoid more stains.

Only got the Bathroom Cleaner with Fabreze, didn't touch it, but the kitchen does smell sweeter.

Only got Cyder Vinegar, I'll give that a go.

Leave it soaking for ages.

try and get the bit with the stain horizontal and build a little wall of plasticine around the stain and then you can 'puddle' the vinegar on it

That would arose the Mrs's suspicions when she sees a drawer missing from the unit, suppose I could make a birds nest out of bluetack.

If the stain is in the drawer rather than outside, why not just fill the drawer with a bit more stuff?

Or take the base out and spin it round so the stain is nearer the back and less visible when the drawer is opened?

Obviously none of these are solutions of my own discovery! Ahem..

Quick update, vinegar worked - thanks Drac.

Next stain to be removed turmeric or Indian takeaway residue? We're off on holiday soon, and just anticipating a worse case scenario.
