Step 1: Clear the Stage

First, get everything out of the sink. Dirty dishes? Gone. Old sponges?

Toss 'em if they look like science experiments. You need a clean workspace to work your magic.



Step 2: Basic Rinse

Rinse the sink with hot water. This loosens up grime and reminds the sink who’s boss.

Think of it like preheating an oven — it makes everything that follows more effective.



Step 3: Sprinkle and Scrub

Generously sprinkle baking soda all over the wet sink.

Baking soda is your MVP here — it’s gentle enough not to scratch but tough enough to fight stubborn gunk.

Grab a soft sponge or cloth (no steel wool unless you enjoy scratches) and start scrubbing with the grain of the steel.

Yes, your sink has a grain — it's not a steak, but it deserves the same respect.

Step 4: Attack the Details

Use an old toothbrush (or a dedicated cleaning brush) to hit those tricky areas around the drain and faucet.

You’d be amazed how much grossness hides there, plotting your downfall.



Step 5: Rinse Again

Rinse away the baking soda with warm water. Admire your progress.

You’re basically the Michelangelo of kitchen maintenance at this point.



Step 6: Vinegar Victory Lap

Spray white vinegar all over the sink. It’ll fizz like a grade school science project — that’s a good sign.

Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe down with a soft cloth.

Vinegar cuts through mineral deposits and polishes up that steel like a pro.



Step 7: Dry and Shine

Finally, dry the sink thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.

Water spots are the enemy of shine — if you leave it wet, you’re only halfway to glory.

For an extra touch of brilliance, you can rub a few drops of olive oil onto the sink to make it gleam like it’s auditioning for a kitchen magazine.

Pro Tip: Do this once a week, and you’ll have a sink that looks so good, you’ll start washing dishes just for an excuse to use it. Almost.
