Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz – this is normal and means it’s working its magic!
2. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to the mixture. Not only does it add a fresh scent, but lemon oil is also great for cutting through grease and grime.
3. Slowly add water to the mixture, a little at a time, until you reach a thick paste consistency. You want it to be spreadable but not too runny.
4. Using a spoon, scoop out a small amount of the paste and apply it directly to the stains in your sink. Focus on areas that need extra scrubbing, like around the drain or along the edges.
5. Using a sponge or scrub brush, gently scrub the paste into the sink surface in circular motions. The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive to help remove stains, while the vinegar helps break down any residue.
6. Let the paste sit on the sink for about 10-15 minutes to really work its magic. This is a great time to go do something else while the paste does the hard work for you!
7. After the paste has had time to work, use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the paste and rinse the sink thoroughly with water. You should see a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of your sink!
8. For extra shine, you can follow up with a quick wipe down using a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Your sink will look and smell amazing!
