How To Clean A Kitchen Sink

Used 74 times each day (probably) your sink sees a lot of action!

Every day: Wipe down the sink before and after each use. Yes, really.

Every week: Disinfect the sink by filling it with warm water and adding a capful of bleach. Slosh some water into the overflow and scrub round the overflow and plug with an old toothbrush.

Acrylic sinks should not be cleaned with abrasive cleaners, which will scratch the surface. Zap stains by soaking with a weak bleach solution.

Kitchen Sink. How To Clean A Kitchen Sink

Porcelain/ceramic sinks only need warm water and a cream cleaner to keep them fresh, or a splash of vinegar on really determined stains.

Stainless steel sinks will scratch so just say no to harsh scourers - most cream cleaners will deal with stains or rust marks, or try a bicarbonate of soda paste. Get rid of limescale using lemon juice.

Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
