What do you clean your kitchen metal sink with to make it look very clean?

[sage2021]

I've never had a metal sink before. I've always used cleanser like Comet to clean the sink but it makes it look dirty instead of clean.
Thank you for your opinions!🙂

I will give you my opinion, but it's probably not the answer you require.

I'm thinking you are talking about the kitchen sink.

I'm a single guy and I don't care if the stainless steel is shining or not, but I do care it's biologically clean.

I put bleach around the sink and usually leave it overnight, or leave it a hour or so, before washing it off with clean water.

The top I use a bacterial cleaner, and wash it down afterwards with clean water.

I usually have something on top of the sink anyway, so if it's shiny or not, it does not matter as long as it's clean.

Thank you for the MHO.

Scotch brite pad works wonders

For a shiny metal sink, skip harsh powders like Comet. Use a soft sponge with dish soap first to remove grease, then sprinkle a little baking soda and gently scrub along the grain. Rinse very well, dry with a microfiber cloth, then wipe a few drops of olive or mineral oil to polish. Instant sparkle 🙂

If it goes darker after cleaning it's because stainless steel contains 12-14% Chromium that reacts with some certain acids or chemicals like this scouring powders you use. I never used it but those agents contains often chlorine based bleaches which react with Cr. after a while and make steel darker.
Try a food grade degreaser and some citric acid cleaner to remove lime stains.
I have gray ceramic sink in kitchen and use "Elbow Grease" all purpose degreaser.

I will take some vinegar, white vinegar. Some baking soda, some Coca-Cola, sometimes a little bit of toothpaste. And some dis soap, mix it together, and that will put a nice clean on it. And then you can just kind of get a dry rag and buff it out a little bit , and it looks nice and shiny you can clean pots and pans with that same stuff and it takes the stains and all the old stuff off of it

So, baking soda is a base. Vinegar and coca-cola are acids. You mix them together and you get a chemically inert paste. It may still work as a mechanical abrasive.

Yes just like, if you have greasy hands, I'm working on a car. Take any type of soap and baking soda , and your hands come clean

We have a quartz sink, which we clean with dish soap, water and a sponge.

I've had metal sinks in the past, and I've always cleaned them the same way. Occasional, if there was a stubborn stain, I'd use Comet, Soft Scrub or similar abrasive, and then follow it with the dish soap.

Just use any cleaner that says safe for stainless steel because you don’t want to use the cleaner that isn’t safe for stainless steel and you might have to replace the sink later on or anything stainless steel for that matter if you use that cleaner.

I use a Brillo pad and scrub it nicely or those green 3m pads that work great for me

I just use a sponge with some soap and water. I put a facecloth down if I am scrubbing a pan so it does not get scratched.

[Clyde_123]

I always use bleach and steel wool to scrub it and leave it overnight.

Making soda works great for me.
