What You Need:
- 1 Pumice Stone Stick (preferably with a handle for ease of scrubbing)
- Baby Oil (like Johnson’s Baby Oil) – acts as a lubricant and mild cleanser
- Warm Water
- Microfiber Cloth
- Optional: Disposable gloves
Instructions & Method
For Stainless Steel Sink:
- Wet the surface: Rinse the sink with warm water.
- Apply baby oil: Pour a few drops of baby oil onto the stained or dull surface.
- Gently scrub: Use the pumice stone in circular motions to lift off mineral buildup, rust stains, or grease spots.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse with clean water.
- Buff it: Use a microfiber cloth to polish the sink, revealing a shiny, mirror-like finish.
For Toilet Bowl:
- Flush & wet the bowl: Make sure the stained area is wet.
- Apply baby oil: Dab a bit onto the pumice stone, or apply directly to the stained area.
- Scrub gently: Use the pumice stick to scrub away mineral deposits and rust lines. It’s safe on porcelain as long as both surfaces are wet.
- Flush again: Clean off any residue.
- Optional: Wipe the surrounding area with a damp cloth and disinfect.
History of Pumice Stone Cleaning
Pumice a light, porous volcanic rock — has been used for centuries as a natural abrasive. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it for personal hygiene and household cleaning. Over time, it evolved into a tool for skin exfoliation and eventually for household stain removal.
Its porous nature allows it to scrub without scratching hard surfaces like porcelain and steel, making it perfect for delicate but deep cleaning jobs.
Why It Works: The Science
- Pumice stone acts like super-fine sandpaper. It’s abrasive enough to remove stains, calcium, and rust, but soft enough not to damage porcelain or steel.
- Baby oil helps lubricate and lift grime, while also leaving a light protective layer that gives the surface a shine.
- When combined, they offer a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to commercial descalers and bleach-based products.
