Cleaning A Stone Sink With These Simple Steps

Sooner or later, no matter how well you maintain your sink, you're going to have to restore it. After all, in time, anything is prone to getting damaged and/or dirty and to have your kitchen sink looking dirty is certainly not going to make your guests too happy about eating in the plates you washed in it. So with that being said, let's take a closer look at some of the things you need to do in order to clean your kitchen sink

The cleaning paste

In order to be able to clean your kitchen sink, you'll first of all need to mix some baking soda and water in order to create a thick paste that is then going to be used for removing the stains on your sink. Make sure that the stained areas are wetted properly and after that, follow with a good application of the paste in a thick layer. After doing so, you just need to get some plastic wrap and cover the areas for twenty four hours. Of course, if you think that this is not for you and you'd like someone else to do it, then hiring Stone restoration Palm Beach services is a good idea.

Rinse and wash

After you left the areas to dry for twenty four hours, you should consider rinsing and washing them with some water and soap. If there are still stains on the sink, then all you need to do is repeat the cleaning procedure. Now when it comes to the stone repair paste, you should carefully mix its components according to the instructions on the tube. Next, you need to make sure the paste is worked into the pits, chips and cracks by using a special applicator tool. Let the paste harden for 5 minutes. 

Remove imperfections

If you notice any imperfections in the areas you just fixed make sure that you remove them by using a one hundred grit dry or wet sandpaper and a razor blade. If you're working on a marble sink, be sure to exercise care, since it can be easily scratched. Now you'll need to consider applying a second layer of paste to those specific areas that were very deep which eventually caused the paste to sink. 

Polishing

Last but not least, all you need to do is consider polishing the areas by sanding them with finer and finer grits of dry or wet sandpaper. It's best that you start with four hundred grit sandpaper and work up to eighty five hundred. Again, if you think this is too much work for you, hire the best Granite repair Palm Beach services in town.
