Green Cleaning Tip: How to get your sink to shiny naturally.

The first thing you want to do is clean your sink. I just use hot soapy water, but for a really deep clean I’ll follow up with a vinegar rinse to sanitize.

Once your sink is clean, you’ll want to dry it well.

The trick to getting that new shine on stainless steel is olive oil! Using a dry rag, rub a thin coat of olive oil on all of the surfaces of your sink.

Your sink will sparkle like the first day it was installed!

To keep the shine, take the family out for dinner!

    Great post! I tried your method, and my stainless steel sink looks brand new—who knew simple ingredients like baking soda and vinegar could work so well? I also appreciate the eco-friendly approach; it feels good to clean without using harsh chemicals.
    How often do you recommend deep cleaning a stainless steel sink to keep it looking its best?
