A kitchen needs to be maintained. Otherwise, a bad smell and unsightly lime and grease stains will spread on the work surface. If you always swing the rag immediately after cooking, you save yourself lengthy cleaning actions. But from time to time, even a well-maintained kitchen should be deep cleaned. This includes, for example, thoroughly wiping the sink. Depending on the material, however, you should be careful when choosing cleaning products.

Then it's time for detergent. To do this, fill the granite sink with color detergent and fill it with hot water. You should leave the broth on overnight and rinse with water the next morning.
