　The kitchen sink (sink) loses its "shine" in no time if you leave it alone.It may not be so much in a cold winter, but if you leave the dirt, it will also cause slimy.Cleaning as small as possible is the secret of keeping the brightness.

　In this article, we will introduce how to clean the sink in the kitchen, and some of the useful items will be.

If you want to clean every day, "dishwashing detergent" and "sponge" are sufficient

　For everyday cleaning of sinks, home detergent and dishwashing sponge are sufficient.Similar to when washing dishes, remove the sink a little, put a detergent in the sponge, and rinse it with sufficient water.

　If you say, "It's a bit like a sponge to wash dishes ...", you should prepare a sink -only sponge separately.It is also ant to prepare a different color sponge to distinguish it from dishwashing.

　After rinsing, it is better to wipe off moisture with a clean butterfly or kitchen paper.

　If the sink has a persistent oil stain or a slimy, (weak) alkaline detergent can be removed efficiently.A dishwashing detergent with alkaline (weak) alkaline is fine, but if you have baking soda (powder of sodium bicarbonate) or sesquicarbonate, it is convenient because it can be used for cleaning various places.

　If you are using baking soda or sodium sesquicarbonate, sprinkle with powder on a dirty place, sprinkle with water or lukewarm water lightly, leave it for about 30-60 minutes, and wash it off.

　Many of the sinks in the kitchen are made of stainless steel.The merit is that "stainless steel" is "less (small)", and it is more difficult to rust than normal steel, but if you use it for a long time, you may lose its brightness.Also, "less" is not "free (not)", so if you are not careful, light red rust may occur.

　If you lose your shine or have a light red rust, polish it with a melamine sponge or combine a cleaner (detergent containing abrasive) and a normal sponge to polish it.However, if you polish too much, the sink may be damaged.When polishing for the first time, we recommend that you try it in an inconspicuous place.

　If the cause of the loss of the brightness is the water aka, try to polish it lightly with a weakly acidic dishwashing detergent or citric acid or vinegar before polishing with melamine sponge or cleanser.In the case of a persistent water aka, this can regain the brightness.
