A few years ago, I learned a trick that changed my life. No, seriously, it was a complete game-changer in the care of my kitchen sink. This is a tip you’ll shrug off and then eventually grudgingly try. And then you’ll say, “Oh man, that was so easy and awesome! Why didn’t I do that sooner?”
The key, my friends, to the most shiny and luxuriously polished stainless steel sink, is very cheap, very simple, and very weird: flour.
Why Polish the Sink? Why Not?
Why would you want to polish your sink? I can hear the angry mobs now: “I’m just doing good to get my dishes done and the sink empty! Why would I ever imagine polishing it? Isn’t that like the brass on the Titanic?” Well technically, yes, it is. But still! Sometimes a little polishing is good for the soul.
This very satisfying trick is an essential when moving into or out of an apartment, when important company is coming over, or on an afternoon when you’re really into the cleaning vibe. It’s simple, easy, and really makes your sink look its best. Pull out your flour and let’s see how to turn this pantry staple into a cleaning workhorse.
Wash the sink thoroughly: Clean the sink with a spray kitchen cleaner or hot soapy water. (See our tips here for cleaning stainless steel with vinegar, too.)
