Sprinkle Baking Soda Over the Rust Stains:
Generously cover the rusty areas with baking soda. The mild abrasive nature of baking soda helps break down the rust without damaging the sink’s surface.
Add a Few Drops of Lemon Juice or Vinegar (Optional):
For tougher stains, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice or white vinegar onto the baking soda. This creates a gentle chemical reaction that helps loosen rust particles.
Scrub Gently:
Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub the rust in circular motions.
Focus on the stained areas, but be gentle to avoid scratching the sink’s finish.
Rinse and Repeat:
Rinse the sink thoroughly with water.
If any rust remains, reapply baking soda, let it sit for a few minutes, and scrub again.
Dry the Sink:
Once the rust is gone, wipe the sink dry with a clean cloth. This helps prevent new rust from forming.
