How to Clean a Nasty Sink


Have you moved into a new rental home, just like me, and met a kitchen sink left in a disgusting state by the last owner? It's never been easy getting rusty and other mysterious marks out of white porcelain sinks.. until now!

I'll show you guys how to properly clean and get rid of scratches in a porcelain sink, and even whiten it! The best part? It's all natural green cleaning!




I know, I know.. The "before" picture might not look so terrible because my camera wasn't able to focus the deep scratches and marks in the sink, but believe me.. 
it WAS terrible!

All you're gonna need is:

  • Rubber Gloves (optional)
  • Paper Towel
  • White Vinegar
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Lime

First I sprayed white vinegar all over the sink, then I poured the baking soda on top of it (you're gonna see a bubbly reaction). I left it there and focused on the individual scratches and rusty marks.. I poured a bit of salt on each of those and scrubbed with a piece of lime.. Here's where the magic is gonna happen!

Scrub and scrub until all the marks are gone, then rinse the sink thoroughly with hot water. To top it off, dry the sink, soak paper towels in white vinegar and then place them all over the sink, leave it there for at least half an hour. The vinegar is gonna act like a natural non-aggressive bleach and whiten the porcelain!

P.S.: don't forget to spray white vinegar and pour baking soda all over the faucet aswell and give it a good scrub with a piece of lime, it will shiiiine afterwards!

Amazing, right?
Simplify and Beautify!
