I have one in my laundry room. It's used to mix lawn chemicals, clean paint brushes etc. I used every recommended cleaning method such as baking soda and white vinegar and a number of others and ultimately nothing worked... so....I took a soft brass scrub brush and... wait for it....acetone. immediate results. Dipped the brush in the acetone and lightly brushed the stains, and they disappeared in seconds. Wiped it down with paper towels and then applied mineral oil. Let it soak in for about 30 to 45 minutes. Looks amazing and has held up for months.
I so appreciate this! I found one for $50 used and I’m excited to get it.
Interesting, and it works. I didn't have any cutting board oil, but olive oil worked just as well. I doubt such a tiny smear will have much chance to go rancid before it wears off.
Great!
Mineral oil for worktops 25 dollars, unscented baby oil (mineral oil) under 2 dollars, same product packaged differently.
Just read the ingredients and make the decision you feel comfortable with. Generally food grade is the key. Not ruling out what you say at all but there are baby oils with non food safe ingredients. Thanks for commenting!
This worked! Thank you so much!
Mine is a black composite sink. I chose the sink because someone recommended it. It is now 11 years old. I started hating it about 6 years ago. NEVER again will I go with a black composite sink! I am going to try your method and see if it works. I will take a before and after picture.
Let us know!

I have a brown composite sink that we’re replacing with a new black one. I was afraid to list it for sale bc it looked so yuck. It didn’t fix it entirely, but it is at least much better looking now. Will use this hack going forward. Thank you!
Our pleasure and good luck!
Thank you my sink looks amazing again
Thanks for the help😊
Our pleasure!
Thank you
Our pleasure!!
I had a large white ring in our sink and this hid or took it away. Two weeks later it still looks great
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🙏
Thank you so much for making this video because we sold our place and while we’re looking for a new home we’re living with my mom and I noticed she had a couple of marks on her sink but it wasn’t as bad as that later so she kind of thought we did something to it and thanks to your video. I’m gonna be able to fix it and surprise her one day when she comes home from work, the only thing is, I have no idea where to purchase butcher block oil. I’ve looked all over the place Amazon other stores, but nothing even comes up maybe I’m putting in the wrong thing is it butchers block, oil, or butchers black oil?
Most hardware stores will carry it. Food grade mineral oil is what you want.
I use baby oil from the dollar store-it is mineral oil too. The shine lasts a few weeks.
There are different grades of mineral oil don’t forget. Not all of them are food grade and may have other things added. It would probably work though! Cheers.
Great video
Thanks a bunch!
You scored. I got that same sink new. Was like 300.00 bucks.
I have ocd, and when i do this, i know im just covering up the white with oil to make it look clean, and it bothers me. I guess its basically impossible to make it look like this without the oil.
Wow! I am going to try this! Just wonder would the oil be washed away easily?
You do have to reapply regularly.
wiping with oil only covers the stains they will reaper in a day or so.
That would be true if these were stains. The surface of the sink is damaged.
Thanks I’m gonna try it!
Awesome! I repeat the process every few weeks to keep it looking perfect. Let me know how it works.
Wow!
After 1 year, do you stil recommend black sinks? I really want one, but am so afraid of scratches
We love our sink. Especially love that we didn’t have to buy it new! :-)
I noticed this when treating my cutting boards in the sink. Wanted to confirm I wasn’t crazy lol
Can you tell the oil name???
The one I use is Howard Cutting Board Oil, but any cutting board oil that is food safe should work.
I have a problem. I have a black sink and part sinktop. I don't know what the sink is made of. It's only 5 years old. I left a darn tin on it for ages and it's turned into a horrible circle mark which I can't get off. I guess it's a lost cause and to make it worse it looks as if another bad mark has appeared. I'll try to contact the manufacturer and see what the sink is made of. I'm reluctant to do anything yet in case I make it super bad.
I would do exactly what you’re planning to do, contact the manufacturer. They may have a few cleaning suggestions on how to remove ring marks from tin cans.
What about if it has a nic?
Sadly I doubt this would work for that. Not exactly sure what you can do for that. Good luck!
six and a hlf minutes for that?
Do you happen to know if this will work to refresh from oven cleaner residue? I didn’t think before I was cleaning my stove grates in the sink with oven cleaner and now I have a chalky residue 😢
I’m not sure, I’ve never tried removing oven cleaner. I wonder if the manufacturer of the cleaner has a number you can call and can point you in the right direction.
Did it work? I was looking up this video for a client who did the same. She put her racks in the sink after she used oven cleaner and now its all white 😢
I did the same to my sink, oven cleaner damage, yes I used mineral oil to make it look restored. It’s not a forever fix but will make it look like new again. It just needs to reapplied at least once a week.
Is this weekly basis? Or you do it daily?
I do it every 2-3 weeks. I always dry our sink after every use and it seems to make having to reapply the oil less frequent.
Sure wish you would have shown the restoration, and look at the camera already.
Baby oil works the same.
True. Depends on your comfort level for non food grade. Cheers!
Some say mineral oil does the same.
I prefer butcher’s block oil because it’s food grade.
@@OurThriftyCottage your dishes gets washed down with soap anyway.
Why do American's always talk so much? Begin video at 3.00
Well, we are Canadian and proud of it. Thanks for commenting!
@@OurThriftyCottage Hehe! I love how you responded to that. I have a really beat up black granite sink that I'm going to try your method on. Thanks!
@@ooopticnerveee let us know how it works!
That does nothing to clean the calcium stains, it just temporarily covers it up. Just clean with Comet/Ajax and a Scotch Bright pad once or twice a week and you wont need that stupid oil.
That would likely work if this was a calcium stain. It is not, rather this is finish being worn off from scrubbing with an abrasive. That’s why the oil works. Thanks for watching!
@@OurThriftyCottage, wrong, that white colored film is calcium build up and other material from soaps. All you are doing is covering up the stains. One day when the calcium builds up is too much your oil will no longer hide the stains. There's a reason why my sink looks brand new.
@@robb9382 I appreciate what you are saying. Perhaps that’s true for you. When we cleaned this sink upon getting it we used an acidic based cleaner which would have oxidized any calcium buildup. (Worked in the commercial cleaning business in another lifetime and have a fair bit of knowledge on the chemistry involved.) on that note, any non acidic abrasive cleaner like comet and a scotch brite pad runs the risk of abrading the surface of the sink. Most of those cleaners are caustic rather than acidic and take more pure elbow grease to remove calcium/magnesium buildup.
Cheers!
@@OurThriftyCottage, if you actually knew what you were talking about you wouldn't recommend using oil which only covers up the stains. Composite sinks are very durable and you do not run the risk of damaging the sink. Even Blanco, the manufacturer of my composite sink, recommend this method. I have been using this method for over 7 years and my sink looks perfect. Stop giving out bad advice.
@@robb9382 ok. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers!
Thank you, this was easy and low cost, appreciate you for sharing!
Our pleasure!
If you have hard water then that is staining the sink.. My daughter has a granite sink and has never treated her sink because she has a water softener and does not have any stains in 7 years!
I do not have a water softener and never had a granite sink; it came with the house. My sink got stained so I use mineral oil. First I used the baking soda and vinegar solution to remove stains and it did get rid of some of the stains but using the mineral oil and letting it sit for 30 minutes so it can soak into the granite and build up a barrier really makes the sink beautiful! I do buff the sink after 30 minutes and the excess oil is rubbed into the sink.
Thank you very much !!
Our pleasure!
Hi, you guys shared some amazing tips! However I need a little help with my black sink - it got some small rust spots!! Should I use vinegar and baking soda first before using the oil?
Any thoughts and tips will be much much appreciated! Thanks xx
Does it remove stains.???
I sprinkled baking soda on the white ring stain in the sink, then sprayed a half water and half vinegar solution on the baking soda. I then used a sponge to scrub the ring stain and it removed the staining. After rinsing and drying the sink I then did the above method with oil.
@@OurThriftyCottage thanks. Will go back to stainless. Or maybe black porcelain
I had stainless sinks for years and they show every water droplet when dried. I bought a gray granite composite sink and its so much better. I can wipe it down periodically and hardly anything shows. I already use mineral oil for my butcher block and you can wipe down stainless steel with it also.
@@rbtkng2438 that oil is a useful product!
@@keithfarmer9119 the important step is to dry the sink out all the time. Depending on your water, leaving water drops etc can stain many sink materials. Stainless tends to be easier though!
