The Essential Guide to a Spotless Sink: A Natural Cleaning Hack You Need to Try Today!

Hi there! It’s Cassie from Supernatural, and today I'm here to share a fantastic kitchen cleaning hack using natural ingredients and essential oils. If you've been frustrated by streaks on your stainless steel or worried about harsh chemicals damaging the surface, you'll love this approach. Let's dive right in!

Step 1: Clear the Garbage Disposal

First things first, let's get rid of any lingering odors in the garbage disposal. Combine some ice with 4 drops of Supernatural's creation blend essential oil. It's not just a pleasant scent; it actually helps in breaking down the gunk. The ice helps remove any food or items stuck on the blades or in the area, while and the Creation Blend’s (link to product page)  mixture of essential oils adds a refreshing aroma and antimicrobial properties. It's a natural and effective way to refresh the disposal.

Step 2: Buff in Baking Soda

Next, sprinkle baking soda all over your sink. This natural cleaner is gentle yet effective. Using a soft cloth, buff it into the sink. You'll start to notice the surface becoming cleaner and shinier without any harsh scrubbing. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that cleans without scratching the stainless steel surface. It's also excellent for removing stubborn stains and odors, leaving your sink looking and smelling fresh.

Step 3: Apply Lemon

Lemon isn't just for your tea; it's a natural cleaner too! Squeeze one lemon half over the baking soda, then use the other half to buff it in, always going WITH the grain of the steel. The natural acidity helps lift stains, and the fragrance is invigorating. Lemon's natural acidity helps dissolve grime and adds a fresh citrus scent. Plus, it complements the baking soda, enhancing its cleaning power without damaging the stainless steel.

Step 4: Pour White Vinegar

This step might look a bit messy, but it's worth it. Pour white vinegar over your sink until the baking soda has dissolved. This combination creates a natural reaction that lifts dirt and grime without damaging your sink. White vinegar neutralizes the baking soda and breaks down lingering residue. Its acidic nature also acts as a natural disinfectant, leaving your sink germ-free.

Bonus Step:

Cleaning the Rubber Splash Guard I did the same thing with my rubber splash guard, and when I was finished, the sink looked brand new. Why this works: The rubber splash guard often gets overlooked but can harbor bacteria. Repeating the same cleaning process ensures that every part of your sink is spotless and hygienic.
