Make your stainless steel sink sparkle!

If your old stainless steel kitchen sink has lost its sheen, try this tip to renew its shine.

Cut a fresh lemon in half. Dip the cut end in plain old table salt. Squeeze lightly, and use it to scrub the inside of the kitchen sink. Refresh salt as needed. Rinse well with cold water.
