How the fuck do I clean this?
Cleaning a house a landlord. Have a week before the next tenant moves in. Previous tenant appears to have pissed in the sink or some bullshit. In the master there are two sinks. One looks clean(now at least) but this other one(pic related) has a fucking yellow ring and a few random stains in it. I’ve tried the powdered comet. I’ve tried vinegar and baking soda and baking soda and lemons. I can’t seem to get rid of it. And honestly it seems more prominent after trying to clean it a million fucking times. Wtf do I do? I’m tempted to sand it but I’m worried that will be noticeable and not actually help at all.

Iron Out Rust Stain Remover Spray Gel $6.99 or there about.

I live on a ranch and out water is hard water. This deposit stuff happens regularly. It's the only stuff that works to get this residue out. I've tried a LOT of different stuff too over the years. Iron Out always works.

There is also a powder. You get more in the powder but the gel is better as it adheres to toilet bowls and "sloped areas" better. The powder is good for toilet reservoirs/basins though. Powder is more expensive but only by $1-2 but you get more as mentioned.

There is also a lime scale remover by them too. called Limeout
Lime Out Heavy-Duty Rust, Lime & Calcium Stain Remover, 709-mL It's about the same price as the gel rust remover.

You'll have to decide which product to use on that though as you need to figure out if it's lime scale or rust and buy the appropriate product.

Note, it smells pretty nasty so don't breathe in the fumes directly but just let it do it's thing. Works well and fast too.

Wrong, it will scour the shit out of the porcelain.

If you want to scour stuff without fucking up the finish use Pumi pumice scrubbing sticks.They break up with scrubbing but do a good job.

How exactly would nylon damage porcelain?

It is literally cheaper to buy and install a new sink instead of wasting your money and time on cleaning products.

this
plastic brush on a drill scrubs 100x faster than a person
if soap and scrub doesn't work - bleach it

don't fuck up the porcelain by scrubbing it with something too hard like steel wool

Iron and rust stains cleaner.

Is the porcelain etched which makes it porous? If so, maybe new sinks.

Nigger you don’t know shit about dick or dick about shit. Did you even fucking read the whole post containing less words than the average Reddit post? Bleaches and the other usual tricks didn’t cut it.

>I’ve tried vinegar and baking soda
Why the fuck do people try this? These two ingredients neutralize each other and aren't much better than water at that point.

The real cleaning solution (do not use on aluminum) is baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. This is pure lye, and if you mix it thick you get a bit of scrubbing action from the baking soda. Wear gloves, it will eat your skin.

This stuff works on a lot of shit. But isn't great at getting out iron stains. You'll have to follow it up with toilet bowl cleaner.

I mistook the thumbnail for a bellybutton and was going to suggest tips for cleaning lint
