What you’ll need:
- Soft sponge or cloth
- Mild dish soap or baking soda
- Vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Olive oil
Step by step guide:
1. Prepare your cleaning solution
Start by mixing a few drops of mild dish soap or baking soda with warm water in a bucket. Stir the solution until it creates a soapy mixture.
2. Clear the sink and rinse it
Remove any dishes, utensils, or debris from the sink. Rinse it thoroughly with cold water to remove loose dirt and food particles.
3. Apply the cleaning solution
Take a soft sponge or cloth and dip it into the cleaning solution. Gently scrub the entire surface of the sink, paying extra attention to any stubborn stains or spots.
4. Tackle tough stains
If there are any tough stains that the soapy solution couldn’t remove, try using vinegar or lemon juice. Apply a small amount directly to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, scrub the area gently until the stain fades away.
5. Rinse the sink
Once you have finished cleaning, rinse the sink thoroughly with warm water. Make sure there is no residue left behind.
6. Dry and shine
Using a clean, dry cloth or paper towel, wipe the sink dry. For an added shine, you can apply a small amount of olive oil using a soft cloth. Spread it evenly across the surface of the sink, then buff it gently until it shines.
7. Regular maintenance tips
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as they can damage the fiberglass surface.
- Wipe down the sink after each use to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime.
- Avoid leaving harsh chemicals or staining agents, such as hair dyes or strong cleaning solutions, in the sink for prolonged periods.
- Consider using a sink mat or protective grid to prevent scratches and damage.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can keep your fiberglass sink looking clean and beautiful for years to come. Remember, regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life and appearance of your sink. Happy cleaning!
