Try to clean the sink quickly once a day with dishwashing detergent or a  gentle scouring liquid or powder cleanser. For tough  stains, follow the appropriate treatment below for your type of sink.

Porcelain Sinks

Fill the sink with lukewarm water. Add 1/2 cup of liquid chlorine bleach and allow the solution to stand for an hour or two. If the stains are stubborn, line the sink with paper towels that have been saturated with bleach and leave overnight. Once the bleach has done its work, rinse the sink thoroughly. Don’t use bleach on a cracked or porous porcelain sink. It can penetrate to the iron base and cause further discoloration by rusting. Clean it with a combination of scouring powder and water. Repeat if necessary.

Stainless Steel Sinks

Remove surface scratches with a piece of very fine steel wool then buff the area to a sheen with a soft cloth.
