Today I write the second post in the "Tips and Tricks" compilation. I have a white porcelain sink and I neglect dishes until we are eating out of cups. This is not always the best combination. Tomato sauce? STAIN! Can that needs to be rinsed before recycling? RUST! I'd ruined my sink after only a month of having it. Or so I thought. I scrubbed and sprayed and sprayed and scrubbed, then gave up and waited for my OCD to kick in one day. Crazy-OCD-psycho-self would fix it. She'd find the solution. And she did. After hours reorganizing, scrubbing, moving shelves, and tearing down cabinets, I'd reached the sink. The rust stains mocked me. The tomato stains laughed as if they'd won. Well, crazy-psycho-OCD-self wasn't going down that easy! I went hunting, and I found something wonderful. So wonderful, that when it was done I had to call my husband to tell him of this wonderful thing, and if he didn't answer I'd shout it from the rooftops!
As you all probably know, I do not like to use chemicals, so this is 100% natural! All you need is Baking Soda and White Vinegar!
Here's what we started with:
Ok. Now that I see it on here I'm ashamed. Don't judge me.
Sprinkle Baking Soda everywhere. Concentrating on the worst spots. You don't need much.
Next, take your White Vinegar, and splash a little around. It will start to bubble and fizzle! (At this point you can stop thinking you are cleaning. This is just a fun science experiment. You're a scientist.)
Now it's time to wipe! That's right, WIPE. There is no scrubbing involved. It will turn into a paste after a short while of wiping. I just wipe up the paste onto my cloth, and use it for areas I haven't gotten to yet! You're left with a Diamond sink! Ok, no diamonds, but it sparkles like one! (The pinkish look right above the disposal is a shadow.)
(If my sink isn't sparkling, wipe your screens. It's spotless Baby!)
