Cleaning The Porcelain Sink
Porcelain sinks can get pretty grubby with regular use, but with the right approach, they can shine again! Here’s a cleaning tip that should work well:
- Clean with Baking Soda & Vinegar:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the sink, especially in areas with stains or discoloration.
- Next, pour a bit of white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz up, helping to lift grime and stains.
- Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the reaction to work its magic.
- Use a soft sponge or cloth to scrub the sink gently, paying attention to any stubborn spots. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, as they can scratch the porcelain.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- For Tougher Stains:
If some stains are still hanging around, make a paste using baking soda and a little water. Apply the paste to the stained areas, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and scrub gently. - Dry and Polish:
Once you’re done scrubbing, dry the sink with a soft cloth to avoid water spots. For an added shine, you can rub a little bit of mineral oil or a tiny amount of baby oil with a soft cloth to give it that glossy finish.
Pro Tip: Try to wipe your sink down after each use to avoid soap scum build-up, which can make deep cleaning harder.
