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.

I tried this on my sink although it wasn’t nearly as bad as yours; she turned out beautiful! Was wondering if maybe you might know what would clean the top of a gas stove that has a grease build-up from about 7yrs. of use. The stove was new 7 yrs ago, my boyfriend never cleaned it and it is awful. I would just buy a new one to replace it but that’s not an option.
Try Easy Off Oven Cleaner… It is super strong and works wonders!
AWesome. Wonder if this work just as well on my tuB
I use toothpaste and sponge, then rinse. It’s super easy and fast. It shines the faucet, too. I am not sure it will work on tough tough stain but b/c it’s so fast and easy, it never get to that point.
Can you use the powder one of the Bar Keep…
I know the bar keepers friend is really terrific, however I made the mistake of getting the Black sink of I have used everything to try to keep it looking really nice & shinny does anyone have any ideas?
Love it
Often when I notice that our sink is becoming stained I will clean it well, then rinse, fill with water, then fill it full and allow it to sit for several hours with 4 denture cleaning tablets in each side to help break up stains. Works like a charm! Our sink always looks brand spanking new.
This is good to know! I also use magic eraser, and it does wonders 🙂
Ooooo…I will be giving this a whirl. I have had really good success with a magic eraser sponge, but it didn’t get those silly black marks.
It works! You are going love it 🙂
I had a bath mat that left several rust like ring stains in the bottom. I tried EVERYTHING and then I saw the suggestion of BarKeeper’s Friend My tub is back white again, no stains. I love this stuff. I got it from Family Dollar for $1.50.
