    Have you tried Bar Keepers friend or Magic Eraser. I have had success with both of those.

    peroxide cleans well and does not fade or harm the finish.

    I need a little more info, is it some sort of plastic sink or perhaps stone, and are there stains your trying to get out, I would love to help if you could answer these questions.

      I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you. First I would take a small piece of paper towel and spray peroxide on it, place it in an area you could test it, leave on for 15 minutes, if it doesn't fade the color, then I would lay full paper towels in the sink and spray more peroxide for another 15 minutes, if it lightens the stains, keep doing that until you get them light enough. I use a product called Greased Lightening with a super sponge ( it's softer) and see if you can remove the rest of the stain, this may take a couple of times to get the stain off, rinse with cold water. Please let me know if this works. Good luck!

    Peroxide is much more gentle than Bar Keepers or even Magic Eraser. To increase its efficiency, try a mix of 1/3 dish soap and 2/3 peroxide if you are concerned about just the peroxide. BUT, you can use straight peroxide. When I have a problem stain that is my 'go to' solution. Sometimes it is necessary to put down a paper towel and pour the peroxide over it and just leave it there. That way the peroxide has more time to work. Don't leave it for hours and hours but check it in say, 20 minutes or so. Occassionaly I have had to put down fresh paper towels and use more peroxide but that is rare. Good luck!
