RE: Cleaning a Porcelain Sink

I live in an area with hard water and my sinks and toilet bowls become yellowed without regular care. I use Polident denture cleaner for my sinks and toilet bowls. Two tablets does the trick. I let the cleaner and water sit overnight and by morning, all is bright white again.

RE: Cleaning a Porcelain Sink

Use Whiting [a super-fine powder for polishing glass items such a porcelain, mirrors, appliances, etc.] It is available in good paint stores [used as a paint thickener]. Wipe sink down with sudsy all-cotton terry cloth; sprinkle whiting and then wipe clean [polish is more like it. There's no law against waxing the sink or placing a rubber mat in bottom to protect against scratches or nicks from pans. http://www.globalsgs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=188
This is the same 'white powder' that is evident when your car is waxed.

I would try a non scratch scrub pad available in super market. 3M makes several types and scrub with a soap of your choice.
