Now, as part of our kitchen makeover we contemplated the idea of replacing our old porcelain sink.
We love our sink. It is huge, it has a lot of character but after having our home rented out for two years
we found it stained BADLY. Sick!
I tried different ways to clean it and I came up with one that brought it back to pure white again.
If your sink is not as bad as mine you may be able to clean it using just one product: Bar Keepers Friend.
You can find it HERE.
If your sink looks really bad and has very messy stains this additional steps will take care of it!
It took me three steps and just a few minutes to complete the process.
{ Come on! Pretend you are excited!}
1
The first thing you want to do is to wash it with dish soup or dishwasher detergent using a sponge and warm water.
When we moved into our house as you could see the sink was in pretty bad shape so dishwasher detergent worked better for me.
After you are done, rinse it thoroughly.
This is how our sink looked after this step.
A lot better… but far from perfect.
2
Spray bleach or a bleach product all over the sink.
Let the bleach sit for a few minutes while you try to wash off the little bit of bleach that went on your shirt.
Darn it!
I hate when that happens.
Gently give a general scrub all over and rinse thoroughly again.
After this step the yellowish color was gone but the black stains were still there.
3
Apply a small amount of Bar Keepers Friend directly on the areas where you see stains.
I like to scrub those areas in a circular motion…
I don’t know what this product has but you’ll see the stains disappear before your eyes.
Check this OUT!

I am stopping by Lowe’s on my way home to try this! It annoys me to no end how gross my sink is… I hope it works on mine!
Follow all three steps. You are going to love the new look.
Great steps, I always just used #3 but I am going to try #1 and #2 first. Thanks!!!
Awesome! Some of my readers have told me about that stuff. I think I need to find something with a stain so I can try it out. 🙂 Great tip, thanks for sharing!

I LOVE bar keepers friend! I have never seen it in a liguid only the powder, and the powder works amazing, it gets my sink sparkling white!
Love the vintage unique sink, I want one just like it! We have a porcelian tub, will have to try bar keeps friend.
Bar Keeper’s Friend is my BEST friend 😉 I won’t use anything else on the kitchen sink because nothing else works…of course now I am wondering if it will work on the porcelain tub….hmmmmm
I think it should work. Give it a try!
Wow! What a difference! I love that sink ~ it’s beautiful. I have never tried Bar Keeper’s Friend, so I need to find some. My go to trick to get the stains out of our porcelain sink is to fill each side with water and add bleach (a good amount) and let it sit overnight before you drain it. Works like a charm!
Good to know Karen!
Thank you for the tip!
Uau!! Congratulations!!!

Hi thanks for this…we moved into our house two years ago and have a white porcelain bath that is positively grey and I have used all sorts to no avail, even Mr Clean magic bath eraser. Funny because I always used Bar Keepers Friend in the UK but I forgot all about this magical product! So today I am off to Home Hardware to see if I can get it here in Canada! Fingers crossed!
Rona,
Good Luck!
You are going to love it!
