Shiny Sinks

Product Information

Believe it or not, the combination of ash and water is a natural disinfectant and is perfect for soaking stainless steel in to remove dirt and pathogens as well as naturally polishing your stainless steel,' Laura explains.

Squeeze some washing up liquid onto the soft side of a damp sponge, and clean the entire sink, draining board, plughole and taps.And most importantly, they can be super shiny, especially if you give them a good polish every now and then. We recommend finishing things off by spraying a glass cleaner onto the steel and wiping it with a thin tea towel or J cloth to help it shine.

At Richmond Kitchens, we design, supply and fit quality German and British kitchens from modern handleless to more traditional shaker style. We would also recommend that a product such as ‘Shiny Sinks’ is used following each application of ‘Bar Keepers Friend’. The Shiny Sinks cream cleaner from Homecareis a powerful cleaning agent perfect for restoring ceramic, stainless and granite surfaces. And with all manner of liquids and more going down the drain, regular cleaning is a must to keep up kitchen hygiene.If it’s a new sink that’s barely been used, you should be able to get away with cleaning it every day with just dish soap and water. Always wipe in the direction of the grain and finish the sink off with some oil to add a protective shine to your sink. If you don’t have tongs, then scoop some of the water out of the sink into the other sink and use your hand to pull the plug. Household stainless steel sinks are notoriously challenging to clean; they are susceptible to water spots, mineral deposits and stubborn stains. Even though I can’t be there to pat you on the back, I want you to know that I am very proud of you.

After all, they’re quick to tarnish and easy to scratch - not to mention the fact that they’re beaten by dirt, food debris, and hard water on a daily basis. Durable, affordable and amazingly easy to clean, if a single stainless steel sink sounds like something you’re after, we’ve got plenty of options for you here at Homebase.

Take a sharp edge, such as a butter knife, and clean around the rim of the sink, just like you would clean dirt out from under your fingernails.
