For different types of sinks different types of treatment
should be given. Foe stainless steel sinks use either mild detergent or
scrub free mildew remover.
Porcelain sink attracts stains very soon. Its beauty lies in its glaze
hence it requires proper cleaning. For stains like grease use
stiff-bristled brush for scrubbing. For hard water scum use mixture of
vinegar and warm water for scouring. Oil stain leaves yellowish stain
and effects the shine of the sink. For this make thick paste of
household scouring powder and water and apply it on the stain and leave
the paste over the stain for few hours and then brush it gently. For
stubborn stains use sodium hypo chlorite and sodium carbonate mixture.
Deposition of soap scum is quite common in the bathroom sink. You can
get rid of it by rinsing the stains by using baking soda in warm water.
If your sink is of stainless steel then you should clean once a week.
Clean the sink by using stainless steel cleaner or polish. The polishing
should be however done by using nonabrasive cloth or sponge. If your
cleaner consist of chloride, then always rinse the surface immediately
in order to prevent corrosion.
