Kala Professional Restoration services on Aug 14, 2013Since, cast-iron is traditionally covered with a porcelainenamel which is highly durable and is very much susceptible to chips, crackingand dulling of the finish. Therefore it require gentle week ly cleaning with mix2 tablespoons of dishwashing soap containing a grease cutting agent with 1gallon of hot water. For cleaning, use soft rag or sponge to dip into the soapmixture and scrub the tub or sink. Rinse well.Helpful Reply

Don on Jul 16, 2015I have a cast/porcelain sink in my garage and spent about a half an hour with first "Barkeeps Friend" and then a little bit of bleach (gloves of course)...Yes, I had grease, paint and who knows what else along with all the pitting, cracks and rusted drain. It wound up looking really good. Not new, but, darn clean!Helpful Reply
