Drains
To freshen a smelly drain, pour ¼ to 1/2 box of baking soda down the drain. Add ½ cup of white vinegar. Cover the drain tightly for a few minutes and flush with cold water.
To dissolve grease in a clogged drain, pour 1 cup salt and 1 cup baking soda down the drain followed by a large amount of boiling water.
Faucets
To stop a faucet from screeching, remove the handle and stem, and coat both sets of metal threads with Vaseline petroleum jelly.
To clean and shine porcelain fixtures., pour club soda over the fixtures.
Use an old toothbrush to clean around and under the edges of your faucets.
Porcelain Sinks
Use baking soda to clean.
A sponge cloth saturated with white vinegar will clean mineral stains (hard water deposits) out of the sink.
Do not use chlorine bleach if your porcelain surface is cracked. The bleach can penetrate to the iron base and cause further discolouration by rusting.
Stainless Steel Sinks
After normal use wipe with damp clothe and dry with a soft cloth.
For a shiny white sink, cover with paper towels saturated in bleach. Let stand for 30 minutes; then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
You can make them really shine with club soda or white vinegar. Try using a spray bottle.
Make a paste from lemon juice and salt, scrub gently, then rinse with water.
Sprinkle Baking Soda on a damp sponge, scrub the sink, and rinse clean.
If spotted use rubbing alcohol .
Polish with lemon or corn oil.
Spray bad stains with oven cleaner, let sit for 15 minutes and rinse well.
Use only stainless steel pads on stainless steel, other pads will scratch.
Rub, scratches or slight pits, gently with very fine steel wool, then buff with a soft cloth.
