First in the video: Grandma's home remedies for a shiny sink
Are you no longer able to remove limescale from your black sink? With this home remedy it will look like new again.
A black sink can be a real eye-catcher in an otherwise simple kitchen. That's why I decided to get a pool like this a few months ago. At first I was excited.
But after a few weeks there was a shock: the pool was full of lime stains! A deep black quickly turned gray with a whitish veil that could no longer be removed. No matter what cleaning products I used - from vinegar cleaner to baking soda - nothing worked.
Until I thank youTikTokdiscovered a trick that I wish I had known much earlier.
Not only does it make black sinks black again, but it also saves time when cleaning. And: You're guaranteed to already have the gentle home remedy you need at home!

Black sink black again thanks to trick
To make your black sink look like new again, you need to treat it with a simple home remedy after cleaning. All you need is neutral cooking oil like sunflower or rapeseed oil. You can also use olive oil if you don't mind the smell. But first things first.
If your sink has stubborn limescale deposits, the first step you should take is to spray them with a gentle, lime-dissolving cleaning agent such as vinegar cleaner and let the whole thing take effect for five minutes. Then clean with a sponge and rinse with clean water.
Now comes the trick:Put oil on a paper towel and rub it all over the black sink. The oil seals the surface and prevents the micro-fine limescale particles from immediately redepositing in the water.
The effect: The sink finally looks black again and stays black. And this for up to two weeks. If gray spots appear again, you can repeat the procedure.

Attention: If you have a black sink made of natural stone, you must not use acidic cleaners or household products as these can attack the stone. Experts recommend carefully rubbing these sinks with very fine stainless steel wool (type 0000) when they are dry to remove the encrusted limescale.
