Flour is the secret to a shiny kitchen sink

Stainless steel sinks are really pretty as long as they’re still shiny. Unfortunately, stainless steel loses its shine quite quickly due to limescale and food scraps. There are a ton of expensive products out there that will help you clean stainless steel, but we’ve got the cheapest and handiest of them all for you today. You probably already have it in your kitchen cupboard.

Your stainless steel sink will look as good as new!

Polish

This trick isn’t meant exactly for cleaning or disinfecting your sink, but for polishing it. Sure, it’s not necessary to do this for a clean kitchen, but it does make your kitchen look that much prettier! It’s hardly any trouble and very cheap as well since you’re only using some flour, so why not? It gives your kitchen that little bit of extra something and it makes it look clean and fresh.

This is what you need:
Soapy water
Dishcloth
Tea towel
Flour
Paper towels

This is how you do it

Start off by properly cleaning the sink, using the soapy water and the dishcloth. You can also use a spray bottle filled with some sort of cleaning agent – as long as the sink ends up clean. Dry it properly afterwards! If there’s even a little bit of water left, the flour will turn into a mushy paste and that’s not what you want. Use a clean and dry tea towel to dry the sink. Don’t forget the edges and the drain. Next, sprinkle flour in the sink so the surface is covered as much as possible. Use a paper towel to rub in the flour. Don’t forget the edges, corners, tap and the drain. Keep making circular motions while you’re scrubbing. When you’re done, wipe away the flour (don’t rinse it away through the drain!). You end up with a perfectly shiny stainless steel sink! Apply this trick once a month.
