Ceramic sinks are very fragile; if not cared for properly, they are easily scratched and dirty. To keep your sink serving you for a long time, use care products made from what every housewife has at hand. Remove stains with citric acid or vinegar. To remove stubborn dirt, use baking soda as an abrasive cleaning agent. Keep your sink clean by regularly cleaning it with a mild detergent and a sponge.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Remove stains with lemon juice or vinegar

1. 1 Apply lemon juice or vinegar to the stained areas. These products are effective in removing rust stains.If you are using lemon, you can squeeze the juice directly onto the stain, or gently rub the stain with a lemon wedge. If using vinegar, add some vinegar to the stain.
2. 2 Wait a while, leaving the product on the contaminated area. Although lemon juice and vinegar are mild, do not leave them on the stained area for too long, or you may damage the surface of the sink. Subsequently, you may have problems cleaning it.
   • Rub the soiled area with a soft sponge or cloth half an hour after applying the product and evaluate the result.
3. 3 Scrub the contaminated area. Do not use abrasive products. The soft side of a kitchen sponge or cloth is ideal for this purpose.
   • Avoid using a melamine sponge as it acts like fine sandpaper and can scratch the surface of your sink.
4. 4 Wash the surface of the sink. After using the acidic agent of your choice, rinse the sink thoroughly with water. The sink should be free of lemon juice or vinegar residues that could damage the surface.

Method 2 of 3: Remove stubborn dirt with baking soda

1. 1 Use baking soda as a cleaning agent. Although the baking soda is quite soft compared to other abrasive cleaners, it can scratch the surface of your sink. Only use baking soda if the dirt cannot be removed with detergent and water or lemon juice.
2. 2 Apply baking soda to the affected area with a shaker cup. You can use a sugar shaker or make your own by punching a few holes in the jar lid. Sprinkle baking soda over the contaminated area.
   • The sink should be slightly damp when you apply baking soda to its surface. Because baking soda dissolves quickly in water, it is not an effective abrasive.
3. 3 Rub the soiled area with a sponge. Use a slightly damp (not wet) sponge to remove dirt from the surface. The baking soda rolls into small lumps that absorb the dirt.
   • Use a sponge that won't scratch.
   • Do not use steel wool or pumice stones, as they can damage the surface of ceramic or porcelain sinks.
4. 4 Rinse off the baking soda with water. Open a cold water tap and point it to the sink. Rinse off any remaining dirt and baking soda. Wipe with a clean dry towel or cloth.

Method 3 of 3: Preventive Measures

1. 1 Clean your sink regularly with water and detergent. First of all, regular cleaning will help prevent dirt from appearing on the surface. Rinse the sink gently after each use. Use a dish detergent and a soft, non-abrasive sponge. Wash your sink thoroughly.
2. 2 Rub the sink with lemon oil. Lemon oil gives the surface a beautiful shine and freshness. Plus, lemon oil also protects the sink from stains and dirt. After washing the sink, rub it with lemon juice.
3. 3 Don't leave anything in the sink that might stain overnight. Coffee grounds, tea bags, wine, and other dark or staining substances can cause stubborn and stubborn stains. Prevent stains by removing substances that can leave a permanent mark. Then wash the sink thoroughly.

Warnings
