And there it was. The sink looked better than new . No streaks. No scratches. No lingering lemon-bleach-ammonia nightmare smell. Just clean, neutral, honest stainless steel. Even the drain seemed to sigh with relief.
Here’s the pro move: For extra-stubborn stains or a greasy disposal, you don’t stop at baking soda. You follow it with a pour of white vinegar .

The grease film turned into a cloudy paste. The fossilized toothpaste crumbled.
