Sometimes I post things on here and am like “is this my life?” This is one of those posts…

I have no shame when it comes to sharing the grease and grime and stinkiness of my home with you because I know these types of cleaning posts help out SO many people. I’ve shared my nasty window tracks and how to clean them with no scrubbing and lets not forget when our puppy peed on the sofa, and I shared how to get clean that and get rid of the stink.

Today I’m sharing the thorn in my side though, which is my very old and really needs to be replaced but we never get around to doing it kitchen sink and how I easily remove the gunk buildup around it. 🙂

You’re welcome. 😉

Here’s what you’ll need…

  • baking soda
  • hydrogen peroxide (preferably in a spray bottle)
  • old tooth brush

First, make sure you sink area is completely dry, and then pour some baking soda onto the area that needs to be cleaned…

Next, Spray hydrogen peroxide all over to saturate. You’ll begin to see little bubbles where the dirty parts are. This is what you want because it’s working it’s magic 🙂 Let it sit for about 3-5 minutes…

Grab your toothbrush and start to scrub. You’ll see the gunk pull away from the faucet and stick to the baking soda.

  1. Hi Christine! I’m so glad that people like you post articles like this to make life easier for people like me! I read it and went right out and cleaned my kitchen faucet. It worked like magic, and so simple! I went ahead and cleaned around the entire sink, too, where the edge meets the countertop. You know how that gets gross after a while, too. Worked beautifully!

    Oh, and I didn’t have an extra spray bottle to put the hydrogen peroxide in, but I was able to take the spray nozzle off my water spritzer and screw it right on to the peroxide bottle. It’s the little things! 🙂

    Pinning this on my cleaning tips board. Thanks!

  2. Great post! Would it be possible to use something other than hydrogen peroxide? I live in England and haven’t been able to find it in stores.
    Thanks!

    1. Vinegar would probably work instead, but keep looking for the hydrogen peroxide…I’m sure they have it there. Maybe look in a pharmacy?
