Brown Stains from a White Sink
back to:
Advices - Kitchen cleaningTry these techniques :
First, try a rust remover, which can be purchased at larger dept. or hardware stores. When using a rust remover you should read the warning label - some can be harmful to certain surfaces.
Also, depending on the surface of the sink, you could use superfine steelwool (#0000); NOT an SOS pad or pot scrubber. When scrubbing with stainless steel, always use some kind of liquid water or cleaner to act as a lubricant - this lessens the scratches. Be sure to test a small area before using the stainless steel or rust remover to be sure no damage will occur.
Finally, keep in mind, white sinks stain easily and quickly. So really the best method is prevention and not leaving items in the sink for very long.
