How to Clean the Bathroom Sink

Maintaining a “new” look in your bathroom is not difficult. Usually, regular cleaning is enough, but for those annoying stains that can build up over time, here are our top tips on how to clean your bathroom sink.

For Quick Cleaning

For quick cleaning of the bathroom sink, you only need liquid detergent and a normal kitchen sponge. Close the cap and pour a small amount of detergent into the sink and hot water. Using the less abrasive side of the sponge, gently begin scrubbing the surface of the sink. When you are done, empty the water and wipe over the sink with a soft, dry cloth. This chore should ideally be done once a week, as well as in the bathtubs.

Necessary Tools

• White vinegar
• Absorbent kitchen paper
• Bicarbonate
• Salt
• Lemons

Avoid using vinegar on colored porcelain as it can damage the surface and lead to discoloration. You should avoid it on marble because the acidic qualities of the vinegar will numb its brilliance. If you have a marble sink, we recommend using a microfiber cloth and warm water.

Cleaning the Bathrooms Sink

White vinegar is one of the best products for cleaning your bathroom sink – not only is it easy to use, it even has antibacterial properties and is easily accessible.

1. Pour Vinegar Into the Sink

Start by closing the sink cap and pouring one and a half glasses of white vinegar into the sink.

2. Cover the Sink With Absorbent Kitchen Paper

Take some paper towels and dip in the vinegar. Place more pieces of paper around the edges of the sink and continue until you have completely covered it.

3. Leave for 20 Minutes

Let it sit for 20 minutes, then remove the pieces of paper and wipe the sink with a clean, dry cloth.

4. Clean Any Accessories

• It’s also a good idea to soak any bathroom accessories like toothbrush holders and soap dishes in vinegar to give them a vigorous clean. The smell of vinegar is not pleasant, we know, but it will fade once it dries.
• If, for any reason, you want to avoid using vinegar, whether it’s because of the smell or the manufacturing material of your sink, you can also use baking soda, which is a great alternative.
• Simply wet the bathroom sink with hot water and sprinkle its surface with baking soda.
• Rub the entire affected area with a soft cloth to form a paste. Also, try to thoroughly clean the overflow area and the faucet base (or taps).
• After you are done, rinse the sink and wipe it with a clean cloth. The sink will look new.
