How to clean a ceramic sink in 5 steps
Ceramic sinks are a common fixture in bathrooms and kitchens in everyone’s house. They are usually durable, but regular use can make them dirty. Therefore it is necessary to clean them up regularly.
You can do this with mild abrasives like baking soda or more potent chemicals like bleach. If not cleaned properly or frequently enough, the natural buildup of dirt can stay in the basin, and materials might build up. So, in your free time, show some love to your bathroom sinks by cleaning them regularly and keeping them as bright as a new one at all times. Follow the steps below, and you will be able to clean up your bathroom sink easily with baking soda and lemon in 5 steps.
Dampen your sink
First of all, slightly dampen the basin of the ceramic sink before applying the baking soda. You can fill and drain the sink with warm water, or you can splash the water on the sides of the basin with your hands. Make sure there is no residual water in the sink, as this will dissolve the baking soda and render it useless, and will also wet the sponge you plan to use to clean the sink. Don't let the sponge get completely wet, so wring it out before you start cleaning.
Sprinkle baking soda into the sink
Sprinkle baking soda into the sink. You can start by adding about ½ cup (0.25 liters). Sprinkle baking soda into the basin of the sink with your fingers or a spoon until the ceramic is completely covered. Make sure to apply baking soda to any soiled or soiled areas. Wipe the baking soda with a damp sponge.
Scrub the baking soda with a damp sponge
Baking soda is a mild abrasive that effectively cleans mineral build-up, leftover toothpaste, and general grime and grime on ceramics. Rinse the sponge as needed and be sure to wring it out completely before scrubbing the ceramic again. After cleaning the sink, rinse with water. As you scrub, you should notice that the baking soda clumps into small lumps. That's a good sign: It means the baking soda isn't too wet and can effectively suck grime out of the sink. Whiten your sink with lemon slices.
Whiten the sink with lemon slices
To "bleach" your ceramic sink naturally, start by cutting a lemon into wedges. Take each wedge and rub it around the basin of the sink, making sure to squeeze a generous amount of lemon juice over the ceramic. You can scrub stains or other dark areas with the hard rind of a lemon. You will need to use at least four to five lemon slices to completely coat the ceramic with lemon juice. Let the lemon juice sit for 30 minutes.

Once the ceramic is covered with lemon juice, let stand for 30 minutes. This will give the natural acidity of the lemon juice time to break down the stain. After the lemon juice has set for half an hour, come back and rinse the sink, it will be like new.
