Stains in kitchen sink

Bar Keepers Friend!!! Great stuff. Available at Wal-Mart and many other places.

Merry Christmas and safe travels.

Ms. Gina,

When you say 'solid surface', are you saying it's Corian? If so, there is an excellent cleaning product just for this type of material (Corian cleaner). We had a Corian sink in our previous coach and it seemed to get any stain out.

It comes in a plastic bottle, you put a small amount on a cloth and start cleaning in a circular motion. You let it dry to a haze and clean/polish with a dry cloth.

I clean my Corian sink with Comet and a sponge, Scotch Brite combo pad. Does a nice job on coffee and tea stains. If your stains are real bad, try 1000 grit wet sand paper.

Scrub it with a little baking soda.

Everyone has given you great suggestions on how to clean it. mine is plastic rather than solid surface, so it the freshly cleaned sink would stain the first time somebody poured coffee leftover down the sink. Or red wine or tomato etc. so, after a through cleaning, I now apply a protective coating. First I tried auto wax; it applied easily, ******** staining greatly but needs rather frequent reapplication (dish detergent and sink cleanings wore it away faster than on the car, of course). Recently, I have been trying Mop-n-glo. A few light coats and the plastic shines nicely. Since I am doing multiple coats, it takes a bit longer to apply though it seems to last longer and is shinier than the wax. It does resists food stains well. If stains are your issue, you could give one of the these coatings a try. They are easy enough to remove if they do not work for your surface.

Three things work for me.
1) Add bleach to water in bowl and let it soak.
2) Soft Scrub with bleach.
3) Clorox cleaner with bleach.

If your '07 Journey is like our '04 Adventurer, the countertop is solid surface, but the sink is a simple ABS plastic sink.

Ours looks like this:

And Yes, it's a pain to get really clean. What others have said is what I have used, Soft Scrub, cleaners with bleach, and one no one has mentioned, a Magic Eraser.

I like my old stainless steel sink. Doesn't stain and cleans up easily!

bleach works fine for me.
