I have a custom ordered double BLACK Porcelain kitchen sink in my kitchen. The finish in the bottom of the sink is all scratched and discolored. I have used only clorox 2 or barkeepers friend on these areas. I have had white porcelain in past with dark scratches this removed the discoloration and I thought since now the scratches were whitish this would work...no! it really appears as if the finish is completely gone..help

SOURCE: Surface scratches in my black bathroom sinks

You might try a vehicle buffer on them. If that doesn't work you will probably have to use a porcelain touch up kit that can be bought at your local hardware store.

SOURCE: Black Sink - white haze

A lot of the soaps and things that we put into our sinks can cause tiny scratches into the glaze. That's what is causing the "haze" you are describing. It's not something that can be lifted off but might be buffed out. I would recommend contacting Kohler and asking if the sink can be buffed successfully. They may be able to give you some contact numbers of people that can repair the sink if it can be. I wish I could offer some more advice but you might be heading towards a replacement instead. Good luck to you!

SOURCE: how to maintain cleaning and scratch free

Using soft scrub or some brand similar is the best thing to use. Manufacturers reccomend only soap and water, but soft scrub is best. Be sure to never use abrasives on any fixture, it will scratch and void warranty
Kohler makes a cleaning agent for cast iron sinks, if this is what you have.

hope this helps

A Master Collection designer Thermocast cast acrylic double bowl kitchen sink with a rich high gloss finish that is easy to clean with non-abrasive cleaners.

  1. 1

    Put on rubber gloves. Spray the sink with a nonabrasive commercial kitchen cleaner, covering all surfaces of the sink with the spray.

  2. 2

    Dampen a sponge in warm water. Wipe the sponge over the sink, scrubbing at any visible dirt.

  3. 3

    Rinse the sink with warm water and then dry it with a clean towel.

  4. 4

    Fill the sink with warm water and add 1 tsp. of chlorine bleach per gallon of water, once a month. This will sanitize the sink, and is recommended by Thermocast. Let the bleach-water mixture remain in the sink for 15 minutes, then drain the sink. Rinse.

  5. 5

    Apply liquid automotive polish to a clean, soft cloth. Wipe the cloth over the sink to remove any scratches that may have occurred. Buff the sink using a circular motion. Rinse.

Abrasive cleaners may scratch Thermocast sink surfaces--using abrasive cleaners may also void the warranty.

How do i clean it it has white water stains and we have soft water and i can not find my manual. about 3 years old double kitchen sink black from home depot
Question...is this a black enamel coating on the sink? If so, be careful not to use abrasive cleaners on the sink or it will scratch the finish. Hard scrubbing will do the same if the cloth/sponge that you are using is somewhat abrasive. I have used "Lime away" or "CLR" and both have worked fine for me. You can get these solutions at Wal-Mart, Home Depot or Lowes. Note that this will continue to stain unless you resolve your water issue. This may be done by getting a "Home water filtration" device installed. This can be pricey though. Good luck.

My white double thermocast sink from home depot is only about 4 yrs old and looks 60. every kind of metal leaves black scratches that i can no longer remove with baking soda. I feel very ripped off.
If this is the white porcelain finish, once the scratches get deeper than the superficial layer of the finish, the more you polish, the thinner the finish becomes. This allows future scratches to become "permanent". Since it is from HomeDepot, there is a chance they may discount a replacement or replace it for free -even though it is over a year old & the care instructions may warn about abrasive cleaners.

If it is a metal sink, it is possible to polish out some scratches. If it is a porcelain sink, all bets are off.

Recomended cleaning for kitchen porcelain sink
Scouring powders or cleansers contain abrasives commonly used to clean and remove stubborn stains that are slow to respond to chemical action alone.

However, use of an abrasive cleaner may scratch and damage smooth finishes such as porcelain, fiberglass or enamel making it even more difficult to clean the surface in the future.

New kitchen and bathroom fixtures do not require a scouring cleanser to clean them of soap films and body oils. Dissolving soil by soaking with the correct non-abrasive cleaner (especially a foaming type that sticks to the surface) then wiping and rinsing usually does the job.
When cleaning older, abused fixtures, choose the mildest abrasive cleaner available such as a Soft Scrub -type product or baking soda, and apply just enough that, with light pressure, the embedded soils are loosened and may be rinsed away.

Scratches
Your sink is likely either porcelain enamel or a fibreglass type. Either way you can get polish for these most times from a good kitchen center, or the sink manufacturer. Look for a label on the underside of the sink

In the bottom of the sink it reminds you that something was poured in sink and ran down drain and let that area gray/discolored and down close to metal so anything grabs on it and it stays discolored
Depending on how old your sink is or how hard your water is, you may have an issue with mineral build-up on the bottom of the sink. If it's calcium, it would be white, so you wouldn't be able to see it. This sink is porcelain, so it isn't porous and should feel completely slick to the touch, especially when wet.

If it isn't, try cleaning it with a melamine sponge. There are various brands. They are all white rectangular squares and come with names like Magic Eraser (it's all the same stuff). This is a very fine but hard abrasive that should be able to clean off any film. If you continue to have issues, you can also use a cleaning product formulated to remove soap scum (like Scrubbing Bubbles).
