How to Remove Stains From Porcelain Sinks

Porcelain sinks and bathtubs look beautiful when they are brand new, but after some time they can start looking a little foul. Even though you may keep on top of your day to day cleaning, you start to notice stains and mineral deposits that just aren't going away with your usual cleaning. There is nothing worse than a dirty bathtub and sink. It ruins the entire look of your bathroom. There are some pretty easy methods of removing stains from the porcelain sink and bathtub that won't break your back or your wallet.

Instructions

1. 

   To remove hard water stains in your porcelain sink or bathtub soak paper towels in white vinegar and lay them over the entire surface of the sink or bathtub. Let the paper towels sit for 2 to 3 hours. Pick up your paper towels and gently wipe away stains.

2. 

   To remove more stubborn hard water or mineral stains from your porcelain sink or bathtub, make a paste out of Borax and lemon juice. Apply the paste to the stains and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a wet paper towel or a clean wet rag and wipe the stains to remove. Rinse with plain water.

3. 

   To remove very stubborn stains from your porcelain bathtub or sink such as hair dye, make a 50-50 solution of chlorine bleach and water in a spray bottle. Spray the stain, let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and wipe up with a wet rag or paper towel.
