Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you start cleaning your marble or granite bathroom sink, make sure you have the following supplies on hand:

  • Soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge
  • Warm water
  • Mild dish soap
  • Baking soda (for stubborn stains)
  • Microfiber towel for drying

Step 2: Mix Your Cleaning Solution

In a small bucket or container, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Avoid using harsh cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the surface of your marble or granite sink. In Jamaica's tropical climate, it's essential to keep your bathroom sink clean and free of bacteria.

Step 3: Wipe Down the Sink

Dip your soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently wipe down the entire surface of your sink. Be sure to clean all areas, including the faucet and drain. Rinse your cloth or sponge frequently in the soapy water to remove dirt and grime.

Step 4: Tackle Stubborn Stains

If you encounter any stubborn stains or build-up, make a paste using baking soda and a little bit of water. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, gently scrub the area with your cloth or sponge until the stain is gone. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as you don't want to scratch your sink's surface.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Once you've cleaned the entire sink, use clean water to rinse away any soap residue. It's crucial to remove all soap, as it can cause damage to your marble or granite sink if left to sit. After rinsing, use a microfiber towel to dry the sink thoroughly. This will help prevent water spots and keep your sink looking beautiful.
