Rosemary Sink Cleaner

Inside: Looking for a natural clean? Try this rosemary sink cleaner. This DIY sink cleaner will leave your kitchen sink shiny and smelling fantastic. Ditch all the chemicals with this easy-to-use homemade kitchen sink cleaner.

I used to love the Comet sink scrub that you buy in the store. It made my sink so shiny clean. Unfortunately, it stains all of my microfiber cloths blue.

So recently, I switched to making my own DIY rosemary sink cleaner.

Not only is this homemade sink cleaner easy to make, but it also smells great and is free of the chemicals found in some of the store-bought brands of sink scrub.

Plus, you only need three ingredients to make it. Unlike using just a dish detergent, it is mildly abrasive so it's perfect for getting out those small scuffs in the sink.

If you are looking for a natural way to clean your kitchen sink check out this homemade kitchen sink cleaner and skip the harsh chemicals. It will help you clean all the tough stains.

DIY Sink Cleaner

To make this DIY sink cleaner you will need a few items. Most of them you probably have around the house already.

This homemade kitchen sink cleaner works great on stainless steel sinks, porcelain, or cast iron.

You will need:

• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Rosemary Essential Oil
• Container to store it (I use a jar with a flip top)

I use a microfiber cloth to scrub the sink clean but you can also use a brush if you prefer.  (these cloths from Amazon are my favorites!)

Check out how I use this natural kitchen sink cleaner in the video below.

Getting Started

To make the rosemary sink cleaner start by adding about two cups of baking soda to a canning jar. Then add two tablespoons of salt.

Both the baking soda and salt are abrasive to help clean and remove hard water stains, rust, and grime.

If you are concerned about scratching your sink you can also use just baking soda.

Finally, I add about 15-20 drops of Rosemary essential oil.  You can add any scent you like, I just love the smell of Rosemary. Lemon is another popular scent to use for a DIY sink scrub.

Then add a lid to your jar, I am in love with these Ball Shaker Lids. They are kind of hard to find on Amazon, but I picked up two for $1.98 at Meijer. You can buy these lids which are very similar on Amazon.

They just screw right onto the canning jar and turn it into a shaker.

Using The DIY Sink Cleaner

To get started using the sink cleaner begin by rinsing your sink with hot water.

Next, just shake the mixture up and sprinkle some in your sink basin. Don't forget to sprinkle a little around the garbage disposal or sink drain.

Although my sink looks fairly clean, if you look closely you can see all kinds of scuffs. My mixing bowl is the worst at leaving these.

Sprinkle a small amount of cleaner in the sink and then scrub with a microfiber cloth, brush, or a sponge.

If your sink is very greasy you can also add a squirt or two of dish soap to help remove the grease.

Make sure your scrub really well and get in all the nooks and crannies.

The cleaner helps get rid of scuffs and loosens stuck-on food too.

Once you are done scrubbing the entire sink then spray the sink down with cool water.

If you want you can gently scrub around your faucet handles to clean them off too. Not only does it look cleaner but it smells great too.

It's not perfect, but many of the scuffs are now gone. Best of all there isn't a chemical smell, my kitchen smells like fresh rosemary.

This homemade kitchen sink cleaner is a great way to clean the kitchen sink. The best part is that you can use it to clean a porcelain sink or a stainless steel sink.

After removing the scratches and cleaning the sink is a great time to disinfect your kitchen sink. It's simple to do with some bleach. You can see my tips to disinfect a sink.

With these simple tips, you will have a clean kitchen sink in no time at all! There is nothing like having a clean shiny sink free from grime and dishes.
