    I also when done cleaning it with vinegar and baking soda rub my SS sinks with vegetable oil it keeps the sink shiny and it stops a lot of the water spots!

    in a similar vein: daughter moved to a newer home recently. It has porcelain WHITE double kitchen sink. They were terribly Beige. I think THEY were the cause, not the former owners.


    It looked terrible. On my visit I decided to try OXYCLEAN and Hot water. I did one sink at a time. Filled as high as it would go with hot water and dumped in quite a bit of the OXYCLEAN and mixed it around a bit. I let it sit over night. Drained it the next morning and was happy to see a great improvement.

    I use Bar Keepers friend (make sure to shake it up thoroughly) and a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Our water is very hard so I use a light film of vegetable oil to prevent it from spotting. I can buy Bar Keeper's Friend at any of our grocery stores and at Home Depot and Lowes. Any difficult job involving sinks, porcelain, tubs, tile etc will become easy(er) with a Mr Clean Magic Eraser and Bar Keeper's Friend.

    Judy, forgot to mention use a non scratching sponge or a clean rag to clean and polish afterwards
