How do I remove this embedded stain from bathroom sink?
The stain around the drain won’t come off w/scrubbing pads or pumice stone. It’s a tough stain. Seems to be embedded.
Vinegar dissolves calcium and other minerals. Clean with a sponge dampened with white vinegar each day for a month. You may need to pull the stopper and let about a cup of vinegar soak in the sink overnight. I can’t see the faucet you are using, but more than likely, you can install a simple water filter in it. If the vinegar and filtered water don’t prevent mineral deposits for at least a month at a time, you may need a plumber. But one more little idea. Do you have a spitter who brushes his or her teeth in this sink? I rinse my sink with my hand every time I brush. Hubby just runs the water in his sink, and he is a spitter. Every 3-4 day’s, I’ll clean his sink but there is always lots to clean. I think your sink is so distinctive, so I would spray it with Pam before I would change it. Best wishes ☺️
White Vinegar should do the trick. We are on well water, and I use vinegar often. I use vinegar in a cup in the top rack of my dishwasher each time I turn it on on to help keep calcium off of my dishes and flatware. You may have to use the vinegar heavily at first, then taper off its use once you get rid of the heavy deposit and just use a maintenance level of vinegar. Good luck.
white vinegar -- ... but please avoid any abrasive cleaners/'steel wool, green scrubbies as you will scratch the surface making it 'easier' for water and minerals to accumulate. That is a GORGEOUS! Sink!!! perhaps using a hair dryer after every use of the sink will evaporate the water building up the the cracks/crevices and help prevent the build up; I use 'RAIN X on my glass shower doors and it helps a lot with soap film and fog --- Have seen a new product advertised on TV for a new product for bathrooms -- supposed to last 6 months ....

soak a cloth in lemon juice and let it sit on there for a few hours - it should come right off - and this smells a lot better than vinegar!
try a Magic Eraser
Use vinegar. Close drain opening and pour vinegar in and let sit overnight. Should come off by morning.
Have you tried Lime-A-Way turbo foam?
vinegar and baking soda?
I too have horrible well water full of iron, lime and calcium. I mean it’s orange along with every thing it runs over🤬. To clean my faucets I get freezer bags and put enough vinegar In them to cover faucet, and place on faucet, tie it on with whatever is close. Leave it on at least overnight if not longer. Depending on how long since last doing this and how dirty the faucet is determines how long or how often I do. With sinks or plastic I soak a sponge with Rust Out I think is the name ( it stinks) and place on top of stain. Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you.
I don’t have anymore luck than you do cleaning but I wanted to say that is the most unique sink I have ever seen. I 😍 it. Where did u get it or is it custom made. Beautiful. !!!!!
