How to maintain and clean kitchen sink?
Is your kitchen sink beginning to suffer the effects of all those dirty dishes? Kitchen sinks can quickly become messy and dull as leftover food, sauces, and drinks are washed around them.
Wouldn't it be great if you could make your kitchen sink look like new again? You can, however, with our kitchen sink cleaning hacks. Try them out today and you'll be surprised at how clean and shiny your sink can be.
Wipe Down Faucets and Handles
All faucets and handles, regardless of material, can be cleaned with soapy water. Wipe them down with a sponge or brush, and use a toothbrush to get into those hard-to-reach places. Still, seeing white spots after scrubbing? This is lime buildup caused by the minerals in your tap water. A spoonful of vinegar is added to the soapy water mixture and a final scrub should do the trick.
Steps to Clean A Kitchen Sink:
-
Begin by rinsing your sink. Remove all debris from the way so that you can work.
-
Then, use baking soda to dust the inside of the sink. Begin scrubbing with a sponge. When the baking soda comes into contact with the wet surface of the sink, it forms a paste. This is an excellent method for removing any stubborn debris as well as removing stains. It should also give your sink a nice shine.
-
Now it's time to deal with the drain flaps, faucet, and handles. Baking soda paste also works well for this. To get into all the nooks and crannies, switch from the sponge to the toothbrush.
-
Clean out the sink. Wipe down the faucet and handles with a paper towel to remove all of the baking soda.
-
Finish by giving your sink another quick rinse with dish soap and warm water.
Now, you can see the new shiny and clean sink. Make this as routine as every week to maintain your kitchen sink.
Advice for Stubborn Stains:
Do you have a tenacious stain that won't go away? You may need to do some concentrated spot work. This is where lemon juice can help. Scrub vigorously after mixing it with some borax, as long as you're not cleaning a surface that would be too abrasive with borax. You can also try baking soda or vinegar again. Harsher products, such as ammonia, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide, may work in an emergency, but they can damage many sink finishes, so use them only if you need but don’t try this frequently.
