And the basin was totally stained! When I wash dishes, I always wash out the sink with a bit of dish soap when I’m done, but those stains wouldn’t budge.

Luckily, it’s easy to clean! All you need to do is get the entire sink wet, then shake a bit of the Bar Keeper’s Friend powder all over the sink. Get your scrubby sponge wet and use the scrubby side to wipe down the sink. For stubborn stains or black marks, use a little elbow grease to really work the stain out. But for 90% of the “mess” in the sink, all you’ll have to do is gently rub the cleansing powder into the sink, using the scrubby side of the sponge.

And about ten minutes after I started cleaning, the sink looked like this!
