How to clean Vanity Surfaces

Metal to marble, porcelain to plastic, here are some tips on keeping your Vanity spotless.

Porcelain

- clean with non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scrubbing away the protective glaze on the sink.

- for spots, cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the stain. Let sit, checking every 10 minutes to see if it has faded. Rinse.

- stubborn stains may require liquid bleach, or a non-abrasive cleanser containing bleach.

- pour vinegar directly in the sink and scrub to restore the shine to the remaining protective coating.

- add 1 tablespoon of ammonia to 1 gallon hot water, scrub, rinse thoroughly.

- mix 1 cup Borax and 1/4 cup lemon juice, rub into stain with a cloth, rinse with warm water.

Stainless Steel

- sprinkle with baking soda, rubbing in the direction of the grain with a moist cloth. For chrome fixtures, sprinkle baking soda onto a damp sponge, rub over the chrome. Let sit for an hour and wipe off with warm water, dry with clean cloth.

- mix 1 cup Borax and 1/4 cup lemon juice, rub into stain with a cloth, rinse with warm water.

- sprinkle flour on surface, buff with a clean dry cloth to restore shine.

- smear non-gel toothpaste on surface and polish with a clean dry cloth.

Marble

- mix baking soda with shampoo or liquid detergent, wipe on, scrub gently with a sponge, rinse off.
