What kind of stains are trying to remove? Stains on clothes use Oxyclean. Stains on carpets, there is a natural product called Folex, or you can use white vinegar, a few drops of dawn and water in a spray bottle. Or you can use Peroxide if item is color safe.
Hello. Are you speaking of porcelain or stainless steel sink? More information might be helpful to get the best suggestions to your question.
I do find using barkeepers friend very helpful helpful with sink cleaning efforts If you want to stay with household natural items you might consider baking soda.
This powder is a combination of baking soda, borax, coarse salt, and a few drops of essential oil. The simple ingredients create a powerful powder that I sprinkle in our sinks when they need a deep cleaning. After sprinkling the powder in the sink, I let it rest for at least five minutes, and then use a scrub brush to scrub away the dirt. Finally, I rinse the sink with warm water.
This is my go-to powder when my kitchen sink needs a deep cleaning ( during my bi-monthly cleaning), and the cleaner I use in our bathroom sinks (another bi-monthly cleaning task). I also use this powder to clean our toilets. Since this powder has a very long shelf-life, a mason jar of Sink Scouring Powder is always ready to go in my cleaning caddy.
What You’ll Need
½ cup baking soda
½ cup borax
½ cup kosher or sea salt
15 drops grapefruit essential oil (or your favorite cleaning essential oil, like lemon or tea tree)
1 lid with holes, such as: a mason jar drink top, or a Parmesan cheese topper. Only use this lid when the powder is needed. The top used to store the powder shouldn’t expose the powder to the air.
This scrub lives up to its simple name since it’s made with only two kitchen ingredients: a lemon and coarse salt. That’s it! I use this scrub when I need to quickly clean our kitchen sink, but don’t want to get out an actual cleaning product. We always have lemons in our kitchen, so I cut one in half, sprinkle salt over the lemon flesh, and then scrub our sink with the lemon and salt (gently squeezing the lemon as I scrub). I apply more salt to the lemon as needed. The lemon and salt combo loosens dirt and grease, and eliminates odors.
It depends on your sink composition. When I had an enamel over cast iron sink I scrubbed with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Now that I have stainless I wipe with microfiber or magic eraser. I've never had a stain that method doesn't remove.
Hi! A baking soda paste will clean up most stains. Bon Ami, a powdered cleanser with natural ingredients is also a big help. If you have a porcelain sink, and hard water, I found filling it with hot water and adding Oxiclean, left overnight will clean it up. If not overnight, at least a couple of hours. Then use a magic eraser to go over it. I like microfiber cloth for scrubbing, also.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

I would try bar keepers friend. It uses oxalic acid. A bit stronger of an acid than vinegar.
Biocleaner paste is made from lava. It is a super fine paste that removes most all stains on porcelain, glass or metal surfaces.
