How To Get a Clean Porcelain Sink and Remove Rust Stains Too!

Today I am going to share a super easy cleaning trick with you … how to get a clean porcelain sink and remove rust stains! If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is trying to keep the porcelain sinks in our bathrooms clean. They seem to attract dust, grime and if you sit anything metal on them for even the shortest amount of time, then you have a rust stain. Perfect example:  When Matt leaves his shaving cream sitting on the sink.  It leaves a rust ring that I usually don’t find until it’s too late, and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out how to get that ring to go away!  Well, a few weeks ago I tried something new that I read about in an old old book.

Clean stains off of your porcelain sink

See there?  I had tried to use one of my magic erasers, which usually works, but not this time.  Grrrrr.

Use lemons and salt to clean stains off of your ceramic sinkSo, I tried a new method.  I cut a lemon in half and dipped it in salt.

Then I scrubbed the stain gently…and dang!  It worked like a charm!  This amazing combination took the rust stain right away!

The easy way to get stains off of your porcelain sinkI’m not even kidding!  It took seconds, and cost nothing.  I am so excited that it actually worked, and will be using this fabulous combination more often!

I have also used lemons to clean my microwave…you wanna talk about easy and inexpensive?  Plus your home will smell fabulous!

    Yup. I am stunned. This absolutely works. One of my two daughters (I don’t even want to know which one) left a hairpin on our brand new guest bathroom sink. I freaked out when I saw the stain, but I googled for a solution and this came up. Three minutes later, stain gone.

    This worked for me too, but it took a ton of scrubbing. I had a metal mirror resting on my sink for a few years and it left a tiny bit of rust. I had to do so much scrubbing to get it out, I suspect it’s more the abrasion of the salt that gets the stain out than the ingredients of the lemon and salt itself. I don’t see any damage to the sink surface – it still looks glossy. My hands are tired from scrubbing but I’m very relieved the stain is gone. :-)

    I left a Chef Boyardee can in the sink for a week. Round rust stain. Did the lemon and salt thing. Rubbed, added salt, rubbed. Left the lemon there for 15 minits.

    Nothing happened. Still have round black ring.

    We tried the lemon and salt remedy for a rust stain in my sons apartment. We don’t know how long it had been there, but as my husband rubbed the lemon on the stain it broke a hole into the porcelain. Just warning others to be careful.

    It probably works betterr for new rust stains, Still on the surface. I have a small old stain on my tub that won’t budge. I’ll just drape a towel over it.
