Use a product called “ZUD” to clean the hard water stains in kitchen sinks and toilets. It is a fine pumice better than most cleaners.

Pour a little bleach into your sink and then run it full of hot hot water. Let this stand until you can drain the water without burning yourself. Afterwards use a little Lemon juice or lime juice to spritz the sink and counteract the bleach smell.

It might sound crazy but shaving cream is great to make sinks shine just add a little shaving cream and rub it into your sink and rinse your sink out and enjoy your shiny sink.

For Calcium/lime deposits around the faucet:
Wrap toilet paper tightly around the knobs or other problem areas. Add full-strength distilled white vinegar to the paper, soaking it. Let sit overnight.
In the morning, remove paper and scrub with a mildly abrasive sponge.

After your wife finishes coloring her hair any very-light blonde color, take the remainder of the mix and apply it to badly worn and stained areas of a porcelain sink. Let stand for 15 minutes or more. Works much better than bleach or 3% hydrogen peroxide. Alternatively, daily application of Comet cleanser keeps sink white.

in between weekly deep cleans keep a spray bottle of 30% methylated spirits in 70%water (I use a small travel plastic bottle) just spray and wipe with a soft cloth ( I use microfiber clothes they are excellent)enjoy the great shine.

for a really deep shine to die for use fine steal wool and sunshine formally known as velvet soap well soaped up and scrub away it is best rinsed well with very hot water and dried with a tea towel or a very soft cloth this method cleans the basin to an amazing shine.

Toothpaste works really well. If you squirt a small amount in the sink and then scrub with a toothbrush the builup comes right out.

Baking soda applies with a dish brush or damp sponge is a great cleaning powder for a stainless steel or porcelain sink. It removes gunk you didn’t know was there, doesn’t scratch, deodorizes, and you don’t have to worry about sending chemicals down the drain.

The easiest way to clean a sink that I do is, I fill the sink with hot hot water, add a little dish soap and a little bleach. I let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it with a scrubbie. If you have the mats in your sink and a/or a sink divider, leave them in the sink and scrub them also. You will find that all the stains come out easily. I empty the sink and then just spray the sink with clear water… nice and clean and smells fresh.
