Clean a Ceramic Sink Without Chemicals
Household cleaning products are full of toxic chemicals which can be harmful to you and the environment. Here is a cheap way of cleaning your bathroom sink using natural ingredients.
Steps
- Buy some bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda) and a bottle of white vinegar. Bicarbonate of soda can be found in the baking section of your local grocery or supermarket.
- Put the plug in the sink.
- Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda around the sink, concentrating mainly on the hard to clean areas with limescale build-up and greasy marks.
- Pour on a small amount of white vinegar and watch it fizz.
- Take a clean sponge or scourer and gently work the mixture into the surface. You will soon begin to see the limescale and scuff marks lift from the surface.
- Rinse clean with cold water.
- Your sink will now be sparkling clean.
Tips
- You can get small children to help you with this - they love watching the bicarbonate of soda start to fizz when you add the vinegar.
- You can also use the mixture to clean the taps but make sure you remove all the mixture afterwards with plenty of clean water.
- Make sure you wash your hands afterwards. You don't want to rub vinegar in your eyes.
- you can also use the juice of lemons as the acid reacts with the bicarb.
