A common question asked is “how do you remove rust stains from a sink?” To answer that, unfortunately, regular cleaning products will not get rid of rust stains in sinks. Similarly, regular cleaning will do nothing to keep rust stains from forming in the first place. If you are worrying about rust stains, then a little more work is required. Below are a few effective ways to get your sink looking new again. Regardless of whether you have porcelain or a stainless steel sink, try out a few of the following special cleaning methods and figure out which works best for you.
Vinegar method
– Use vinegar and a scouring pad to get rid of those evil rust stains. Pour white vinegar onto the pad and scrub in a circular fashion centered on the stained area. Do not be afraid to put a little muscle behind your work. Use a good amount of force when scrubbing out the stains. It will require hard work so do not grow weary if the stains do not come out with a few gentle strokes.
Lemon juice method
– Apply lemon juice to the affected area. Allow the liquid to sit on the area for awhile until the spots start to fade away. Then rinse the sink with fresh water. If there are still stain spots, repeat the steps.
Bar Keepers Friend
– Try out Bar Keeper’s Friend, a multi-purpose cleaner that works on porcelain, copper, stainless steel, fiberglass, and tile. You can order the product online or check your local store. Then just follow the instructions on the bottle.
