Day 970 | Cleaning a Stainless Steel Sink
/
Nothing terribly exciting about today's post. Sorry.
I am writing this mostly in a selfish attempt to remember how to deep clean my own sink. Every time I do it, I have to hunt for the website I've used in the past. If I include it here, then I can find it next time. Yes!
I know good old Comet would clean my sink really well, but somehow the chemicals in that cleaner cleaning the surface where my food spends a lot of time, just isn't my favorite. I do my best to use natural cleaners wherever I can. No judgement to anything anyone else does, just my preference.
Anyway, these simple + natural ingredients do the job really well. Give it a try, I bet you won't be disappointed.
Here's the website with the tutorial I followed. All you need is baking soda, vinegar, a lemon (or orange), and olive oil. I actually had all of these on hand--it was a miracle!
The basic steps are as follows:
- Sprinkle with baking soda and use a sponge in a circular pattern to clean the sink.
- Rinse with vinegar and again wipe with a sponge.
- Rinse the sink with water.
- Rub the skin of a lemon or orange over the surface of the sink.
- Finish by buffing with a paper towel and a bit of olive oil (for the shine).
