A white porcelain farmhouse kitchen sink was on my shortlist of non negotiables when we renovated our kitchen back in 2012 yes it s really been that long.

Ceramic sink care.

I was willing to compromise on a lot in the name of time money or practicality but i wouldn t budge when it came to the farmhouse sink. Made by firing a coating of porcelain a glass based ceramic material over a metal. However you should still give your ceramic sink a quick clean every day. Gently clean with liquid soap and dry.

All you need is a standard sponge a little washing up liquid and water. That said it is easy to remove surface stains from porcelain as it does not stain permanently unless it is very worn and scratched. Slightly moisten the sponge under running water. Remove stains using a mild acid like lemon juice or vinegar.

Vintage porcelain sinks are in demand for both home remodels and new builds. But porcelain has a tendency to hold onto stains and it is easily scratched if you try and scrub the stains off. As the material is very dense hardly any marks can form as dirt simply cannot adhere to it. Apply with a sponge or a soft kitchen cloth and rinse the surface of the sink thoroughly with plenty of water.

A couple of years ago i shared a post on showing how to clean a stainless steel sink and have gotten tons of emails asking how to clean a ceramic sink. Cleaning ceramic sinks is extremely easy. Remove any food soap or toothpaste build up from the surface. Well last year i replaced my stainless steel sink with a ceramic one and now i can finally answer that question.
