Sink ?
DH and I just bought a new house. It has a white basin sink in the kitchen and it's gross (stained brown). We've tried cleaning it a couple times most recently with bleach. It came slightly cleaner but is still gross. The countertops are corian and the sink is one piece with the counter. Advice on what to use? TIA

Re: Sink ?
I've also let bleach water sit in a stained white sink overnight, and it's worked miracles
You need less elbow grease if you let it sit; it really soaks in and does the work for you. Also, I use a heavy amount of bleach to water;maybe about 3/4 C.
We had a sink do that, we would just buy giant jugs of white vinegar and before bed pour about 2 cups down the drain and just let it sit over night. W would needs to do this a couple of times in a row every couple of months. It's not a permanent fix, but temporarily is very effective.
Is it more plasticy or more like a stone/ceramic? If its ceramic or stone the above tricks of letting bleach sit overnight , however if its plastic and you let it sit you will rprobably get a water line demarcation
we had one that was like a plastic resin and was extremely stained. The thing that worked two steps. First I made a paste of baking soda and vinegar and rubbed It in vigorously scrubbing especially hard around the drain, and let it sit for a half hour or so. Then I rinsed that down the drain and made a large jug of dilute bleach (maybe a 1/4 cup per gallon) and slowly/carefully poured it over the sink basin trying to reach all areas... The bleach step was like "wow!".... It totally cleaned up the sink, especially the really stained areas around the drain. Then I rinsed it. Huge difference.
What I noticed though is that every time we cook and pour hot water down the sink ths stains gradually start to show up again. So my advice is to be careful about pouring anything too hot down the sink.
