How to whiten an RV sink

Corian is a great material, but it isn't impervious to staining and discoloring. Here, from the RV Geeks, is a quick, easy tip for whitening a Corian or similar solid-surface kitchen or bathroom sink. Whether in your RV or in your house, this simple technique will rejuvenate even the dingiest and most discolored sink.

When the Geek's RV's sink first began getting dingy and stained, they tried whitening it with bleach, which they had heard was very effective. Bleach is just so smelly and toxic that they decided to stop using it.

Then a friend of theirs (and fellow RVer) began waxing poetic about the wonders of Oxiclean. The RV Geeks had originally been turned off by the in-your-face advertising for the product by pitchman Billy Mays, so had never tried it before. Their friend insisted they take a small Ziploc bag of it back to their RV. Did it work? Watch the video.

  3. We've never had a fiberglass sink, but we regularly use Oxiclean to clean our fiberglass shower. Can't imagine that it would harm your sink, but maybe someone else here could comment more knowledgeably who's tried leaving it soaking in their sink.
