How To Clean A Porcelain Sink

January 11, 2018 by Marie Leave a Comment

Porcelain sinks are kind of notorious for getting stained. Whether you’ve been painting and washing brushes or just cooking dinner on busy weeknights, life happens — usually to your nice, white sink. Now you are left wondering how to clean a porcelain sink.

But if you play your cards right, yours can stay looking clean and new for generations. The key is to know what to use that will remove stains and grime without causing damage, such as scratches, or compromising the finish. Here’s the best way to get your porcelain sink truly clean.

How To Clean A Porcelain Sink

1. The Supplies

You’ll only need 3 simple things to clean your porcelain sink, and you probably already have all of them. First, baking soda. Check your pantry. Even if you’re out you can usually get a new box for well under a buck. Next, look in your medicine cabinet for a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. And again, even if you don’t find any, it’s super cheap to grab one the next time you’re out. Aside from that, you just need a sponge — preferably one with a “scrubby” side that still won’t scratch your sink. But if all you have is a regular old sponge, it’ll work just fine.

2. The Method

If your sink is clear of dirty dishes (mine usually isn’t), you can get straight to work. Otherwise, you’ll have to do the dishes first — sorry! But once you’ve got the all clear, start by rinsing the sink to get it wet inside. Rinse away any food particles or other junk.

Then, plug your drain up with whatever you use to do that. Sprinkle some baking soda all over the sink…bottom and sides. You don’t need to be particularly generous with it, just make sure it’s lightly coated. Once you’re satisfied with that, grab your sponge and start scrubbing. Any discoloration should begin to disappear.

After scrubbing all over the inside of your sink, add just a little hydrogen peroxide to your sponge and scrub some more. At this point, DON’T RINSE YET. Walk away — just do it — for about 20 minutes. Go for a walk, read, sit down with a box of candy, whatever. Once the time is up, rinse everything right down the drain and enjoy your new (well, almost) shiny sink.
