You can save time in the kitchen by rinsing the kitchen sink with hot, soapy water after each use.  But from time to time you'll need to give it a deep cleaning.  

The best way to clean a stainless steel sink is with club soda (or seltzer) or white vinegar. Use a soft cloth to wipe the sink clean with the club soda or vinegar.  

If the sink has some grease or other grime in it, sprinkle baking soda on the sink beforehand. You can also make small scratches in the direction of the grain of the steel with fine steel wool.  

Buff with a soft cloth after removing the scratches. When cleaning a stainless steal sink do not use a heavy abrasive cleaner or steel-wool pads because they will scratch the surface.  

If you have a very tough stain and ust scrub with a steel-wool pad or a heavy abrasive, be sure to scour with the grain of the sink, not against it, to somewhat camouflage the small scratches you may make.


You can remove stains from a porcelain sink by filling the sink with warm water and adding a few tablespoons of chlorine bleach.  

Let the bleach solution sit for an hour or two before draining the water and rinsing the sink.  

If the spots still remain after this process, drench some paper towels in the bleach and use them to cover the spots overnight.
