how to clean a farmhouse kitchen sink

So you want a sparkling clean kitchen sink? A clean farmhouse kitchen sink sounds simple, but it’s usually one of the dirtiest and germiest places with how often we use it.

The BEST method for to clean your farmhouse kitchen sink is to use baking soda! That’s right, you can use baking soda to gently scrub your kitchen sink clean. It truly does make it sparkling while getting rid of grease, removing stubborn stains and deodorizing the drain as well.

This method is great for deep cleaning your farmhouse kitchen sink. The best part is no harsh products are needed.

So let’s get started deep cleaning your kitchen sink!

Step one – Cover your sink baking soda. The best way is to make a baking soda and water paste, using one part water and two parts baking soda. Apply the paste all over the farmhouse kitchen sink. For a little deeper clean, I like to make the baking soda paste with lemon essential oil and thieves household cleaner. You can find my recipe here.

Step two – After you let the baking soda paste sit on the sink for 5-10 minutes, get out your scrub brush. Start scrubbing the sink from the top down to the drain, and then focus a little more on any stubborn areas and around the drain. You can find my favorite scrub brush here.

Step three – Thoroughly rinse your sink from top to bottom. Then wash the sink with dish soap, because baking soda tends to leave a white residue behind.

Step four – If you are looking to disinfect your sink as well, you’ll want to do this step as well. Cover you sink with reusable towels or paper towels soaked in vinegar, because vinegar is a natural disinfectant. Leave for 15 minutes to disinfect your sink.

Step five – Don’t forget to wash your faucet and sink handles too! Next, use the dish soap and a sponge to wash faucet and handles. Rinse them after you’re done cleaning, and that’s it!
