Every day, your home or office sink deals with sauce stains, greasy messes, coffee grinds, raw meat, and more, so it’s no wonder your sink is probably long overdue for a deep clean.
What you’ll need:
- Mild dish soap
- Soft sponge
- Old toothbrush
- Baking soda
- Lemon
- White vinegar
- Olive oil (optional)
- Lemon oil (optional)
Follow these steps: To remove the grime and get your sink gleaming, follow the guidelines below;
- Remove and clean any dirty dishes and leftover food from your sink. There should be nothing in it as you begin scrubbing your sink. Ensure you move your sponge holder and drain stopper to get a more thorough clean
- Use a gentle soap, soft cloth, and warm water to clean the faucets, drain, and outer rim. Wash down the entire surface area of your sink.
- To help eliminate bad odor and soften any gooey materials that may threaten to clog the drain run hot tap water into the drain. Alternatively, boil a pot of water and pour that down, as it will help loosen any caked-on gunk in your drain. Wet down the entire sink through this process.
- Create a blend of baking soda and lemon juice for the surface. Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 1/4 cup of lemon juice and pour it over the surface of your sink. Let this mixture stand for approximately 10 minutes before rinsing it away with hot water. Do this to your sink at least once a week. Baking soda is a natural cleaning agent that breaks down dirt and grease, so feel free to sprinkle it on cracks and harder-to-hit places, such as around the faucet and handles, and scrub at it with a toothbrush
- Create a larger blend of baking soda and lemon juice for the drain. Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Pour this directly into the drain, and follow it with 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Cover it and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil some hot water and pour it in. The reaction of the cleaning products will help break up gunk and sanitize the drain, and the hot water will rinse it before it forms again.
- Use flour to polish the sink. Completely dry the sink with a towel. Any wetness left over will become like a paste when mixed with the flour. Sprinkle flour around the sink.
- Using a new, clean towel, slowly buff around the stainless steel in circular motions (the way you might wax a car). Remove the excess flour and throw it away.
