1. Fill the Sink with Bleach Solution
Start by filling your sink with warm water.
You'll need 1 gallon of water mixed with 3/4 cup of Clorox bleach.
2. Let It Sit
Once you've filled the sink with the bleach solution, let it sit for at least 5 minutes. This step allows the bleach to penetrate, break down stains and whiten.
3.Sanitize and Whiten the Caulk Line
While the solution sits in the sink, I like to do a bit extra. Grab some paper towels, dip them into the bleach water, and place them along the caulk line of the sink.
Leave them to sanitize and whiten up the surface.
4. Rinse Thoroughly
After 5 minutes, drain the sink and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Make sure all bleach residue is washed away to avoid any potential damage to your sink.
5. Shine Up Your Faucets
To finish off your sink cleaning, I like to wipe down the faucets with a bit of Vaseline or dishwasher rinse aid.
Both work wonders for reducing hard water stains on fixtures and adding a nice shine.
Use a small amount of either product, and remember to buff it off well for a sparkling finish.

If u have a septic tank, u should not use bleach in any of ur plumbing. It kills the bacteria necessary in the septic system to properly breakdown the waste. Use only products safe for septic systems!

Use of bleach is not something I use in my sink. I clean it with a simple cleaner, never let it get so dirty I need bleach. And after use, I take my hand and sprinkle some running water around the sink to remove any debris. I also wipe down faucets, etc after I use it to brush teeth and wash face. That way it always looks clean. A separate towel is nearby to do that. When kids were home, they were trained to to the same, preparing the area for the next person's use.
