Scouring makes an old sink look new again.

You can improve the appearance of your kitchen quickly by scouring the sink until it sparkles. Most sinks have a porcelain or stainless steel surface. Coffee, tea, tomato juice and food residue can leave behind stains on porcelain, while stainless is more prone to discoloration from water marks and food residue. Both porcelain and stainless sinks can scratch easily when cleaned with overly abrasive materials, which ruins the finish. Proper scouring requires mild abrasives that don't scratch but still cut through the dirt.

1

Wet the interior of the sink with hot tap water. Wipe out any dirt or grime with a moistened cleaning rag.

2

Sprinkle baking soda or a mild scouring powder on the moistened cleaning rag. Avoid highly abrasive scouring powders and wire scrubbers, as these can scratch the surface of metal and porcelain sinks.

3

Scrub the sink with the rag. Add more soda or scouring powder as necessary until the entire sink surface is scoured.

4

Apply baking soda or scouring powder directly on remaining stains, such as tea or coffee stains. Moisten the rag and scrub the stains a second time.

5

Rinse the sink out with clear water. Baking soda and scouring powder leave behind a white haze if they aren't completely rinsed away.

Things You Will Need

• Cleaning rag
• Scouring powder or baking soda

Tip

• Wet a paper towel in chlorine bleach and lay it over stains in porcelain sinks if scouring doesn't completely remove them. Leave the towel in place for 15 minutes, then rinse the sink with clear water.
• You also can clean chrome and metal faucets with scouring powder or baking soda. Scouring abrasives might scratch plastic faucets, so use only soapy water for these.
