🌟 Polishing Your Stainless Steel Sink

Step 6: Dry the Sink

Use a microfiber cloth or paper towel to dry the sink completely. This prevents water spots and gets it ready for polishing.

Step 7: Apply Olive Oil or Mineral Oil

Pour a small amount of olive oil or mineral oil onto a soft cloth. Buff it into the sink using small circular motions or strokes that follow the grain. This step restores shine and adds a protective layer against future grime buildup.

Optional: Rub the sink with a cut lemon after cleaning for a fresh citrus scent and natural disinfecting power.


💡 Maintenance Tips:

  • Daily wipe-downs with a soft cloth keep water spots and residue at bay.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach—they can damage the stainless finish over time.
  • Use a sink grid or mat to protect the base from scratches caused by pots and pans.
  • Always rinse and dry your sink after use to keep it gleaming.

Why It Works

  • Baking soda removes grime without scratching.
  • Vinegar breaks down mineral deposits and soap scum.
  • Dish soap cuts through grease and oil.
  • Olive oil adds that finishing polish and protects against dullness.
