How to clean a sink
Step 1: Prepare the Area
Before starting the cleaning process, clear any dishes or items from the sink. This will give you easy access to all areas and prevent any accidental damage to your belongings.
Step 2: Steam Cleaning
Take your powerful steam cleaner and start by giving your sink a thorough steam treatment. The steam effortlessly pushes out dirt, grease, and grime from every nook and cranny.
Move the nozzle across the sink's surface, focusing on stained or stubborn areas. The steam not only cleans but also sanitizes, leaving your sink germ-free.
Step 3: Bar Keeper's Friend Powder Cleaner
Sprinkle Bar Keeper's Friend Powder Cleaner all over the inside of the sink. Gently scrub the sink's surface, paying extra attention to any spots or stains. This cleaner is particularly effective for composite sinks and quartz worktops, bringing back the shine and luster to your sink.
If you were unsure of how to clean a quartz sink, Bar Keeper’s Friend is a great cleaner to use. When done scrubbing, rinse the sink thoroughly to remove any residue from the cleaner.
Step 4: Soda Bicarbonate and Vinegar Combo
For a powerful and natural cleaning solution, combine soda bicarbonate and vinegar. Scoop 3 or 4 tablespoons of soda bicarbonate and pour them into the sink's drain.
Follow this by pouring vinegar over the soda bicarbonate. The fizzing reaction helps break down any grease, unclogs the drain, and leaves a fresh scent. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to maximize its cleaning power.
Step 5: Disinfect the Drain
To ensure a germ-free environment, pour a small amount of disinfectant down the drain. This step helps eliminate any lingering bacteria and leaves your sink smelling clean and fresh.
Step 6: Rinse and Dry
Once you've completed all the cleaning steps, rinse the sink thoroughly with water to remove any remaining cleaning agents. Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe the sink dry, leaving it gleaming and ready for use.
