I pinned a few different tutorials on how to clean a stainless steel sink, without ever looking at the direct link. Today, I searched those pins and I ended up not having all the necessary items to accomplish this task (lemon juice, baby oil). So, I googled this topic and the first one I came across only required two items: baking soda and vinegar. Sold! Let’s do this!
Here is a shot of what our sink was doing before the deep cleaning (one year old). Of course, I clean the sink, but have never done a deep cleaning of the stainless. You can see the discoloration below.
Rinse the sink with water. Shake baking soda all over the sink.
Scrub with a non-abrasive scrubber (I keep this one from Walmart under my sink for cleaning). Look how quickly this started working! I’m excited and grossed out all at the same time! :)
Next, spray vinegar all over the sink (on top of the left over baking soda gunk). This acts as a disinfectant. I find it handy to just keep a spray bottle of vinegar under the sink too.
After spraying the vinegar, it is time to rinse and admire your shiny, clean sink!
While I was at it, I deep cleaned the faucet and sink mats too.
This was super simple and it worked! It’s the little things, people…
I discovered this method at http://www.howtocleanthings.com/surfaces/stainlesssteel/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink.htm.

Thank you for this idea!!!! I have tried everything and my ss sink always looks dingy. I remember my Grandmother's sink was always sparkly and I could never achieve the same look. I will definitely try this. Thank you for sharing with us:)

So easy! Thank you. I fear if I run downstairs right now to deep clean my sink, I will find the teenager left me dishes in there..so I'll wait until lunch. :) ~Kelly

Thank you for sharing that helpful tip. I like that better than using bleach.

I have done this too before, but I mixed together baking soda and vinegar. It works on dirts tougher than what you have!

I love that it requires regular household stuff. I am so going to try this and pin it too!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I've tried so many different cleaners on my stainless sink, but none have ever made it look like this. How simple too - baking soda! Trying now.
ReplyDeleteHey ladies-hope you all have success with this cleanin method! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this ,,,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Vinegar is my favorite cleaning product (much to my daughter's dismay...makes her gag)! I hadn't tried it on my kitchen sink but now I will!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

ReplyDeleteThat’s a lovely result! What I love about your technique is that you use an absolutely efficient cleaning tool and the products are all natural. In my case, I always opt for a greener way to clean my stainless steel tools. I avoid using products that contain harsh, flammable and corrosive materials.

I always wanted my stainless steel sink to be clean and shiny. This is why I keep on experimenting with different cleaning methods to keep my sink spotless and dirt free. I’ve tried using baking soda and vinegar. They’re both great but for me, vinegar is more efficient. I’m really satisfied with it especially when I’m cleaning my stainless fridge.
