In the last 6 years or so, all I use is a manic eraser, and once a month or so put peroxide on a cloth and wipe the whole sink. Magic!!!

I second Bruce Lambert's suggestion..."Barkeepers Friend"...Is the absolute best! I have used it for 50-years!...When I first started using it you couldn't even buy in a regular store. It was only available for barkeepers and business owners. WOW..that was a long time ago! :-)

I scrub mine with flour, rinse then dry. Guess could use vinegar to disinfect then rinse and dry with cloth. (after scrubing with flour.)

I couldn't even play the video, it gave me a message stating: "No levels to play" No clue what that means!! But personally I use a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (equal parts of however much you want to make). Just mix them into a soupy paste then "drizzle" on the surface you want to clean with a teaspoon or whatever or just put some on a soft cleaning cloth, and rub on the surface, let sit for about 2-3 minutes then wipe down with a wet cloth. All done!! It works on stainless (sinks, eating utensils etc.), glass (drinking glasses, mirrors etc.), ceramic (my bathroom sink and tub), chrome (all my faucets and fixtures) you can even use it on your stove top!! (around the burning coils and or glass tops) And this is a TON-A-MONEY SAVER. No more having to buy "this and that" kind of cleaner because THIS DOES IT ALL!

The best I have found is Barkeepers friend. Sprinkle on lightly scrub all the stainless let set for a couple of minutes and rinse. That easy. Works on glass, sinks, tubs. chrome, copper, stainless pots and pans. inexpensive, I get mine at Home Depot. But its sold in many places.

Why lemon juice and vinegar? Start with vinegar, baking soda, etc. Save the lemon juice for food recipes.
