How do I get out the silver streaks in my white cast iron sink?

Answer 1

Get a Mr Clean "Magic Eraser". They work wonders on sinks & tubs.

Answer 2

The marks aren't scratches. They're actually the pan rubbing off on the sink. I wouldn't use an sos pad or comet because those can dull the sink. Bon Ami is a good choice, or the Kohler cleaner someone else recommended. Also, you can cut down on those marks by using a cleaner that contains wax (like the Kohler cleaner) or just regular car wax. It puts a sort of buffer between the sink and the pan.

Answer 3

I would say the silver streaks are aluminum or some other type
of metal scratched into the porcelain coating.
Porcelain is a glass coating and should clean up with scrubbing.
The pans you are using maybe scratching a streak onto the surface and if you stop putting them into the sink the old scratches
will slowly disappear as they will wear off. Happy dish washing.

Answer 4

The silver streaks are scratches from pots. The best way to remove them is with a special cleaner that you have to purchase at your local janitorial supply store. It contains hydrochoric acid, the higher the percentage the better. You do have to work in a well ventilated area, and be sure to not to get any on your skin. Pour a small amount of cleaner on a green scratchy pad, you barely have to rub the area and it is gone. Be sure to rinse well with water.
