How I clean a REALLY dirty sink, quickly 🧪✨

As a chemist AND a mom, I’m all about cleaning smarter, not spending my entire day scrubbing. So while my kids watch a little math show, here’s how I tackle a nasty kitchen sink and get it clean, fresh, and shiny FAST.

🧼🧽👩🏻‍🔬Save this post, Comment SINK, I’ll send you the products I use! Save this one too—you’ll want it next time your sink gets out of control. 🙃

Step 1: Scrub with a ground-mineral paste.
I use a quartz-based cleaning paste because it gives me the mechanical scrubbing power I need for stuck-on debris and grime, while being gentle enough for the sink surface. I pair it with a damp sponge, which helps distribute the product and gives me a little foaming action as I scrub.

Step 2: Rinse it all away.
A good rinse removes the loosened grime and leftover cleaning product.

Step 3: Freshen the garbage disposal.
I toss in a plant-based garbage disposal pod to clean things up and leave the sink area smelling fresh. This makes such a difference when your sink looks clean but still smells…not so clean. 😅

Step 4: SHINE! ✨
For stainless steel, I finish with my DIY shine spray. You can also use your favorite store-bought stainless steel cleaner here.

Step 5: Buff with a stainless steel microfiber cloth.
This final step helps remove streaks and gives you that shiny, polished finish.

SO CLEAN—and I didn’t spend my entire afternoon doing it. 🙌

Cleaning as a busy mom is all about using the right chemistry + the right tools so you can spend LESS time cleaning.
