How to Clean a Glass Sink

Our first floor bathroom has a glass, above counter sink in an effort to make it look fancier. These things are definitely not cheap so you want to take good care of them. Since it's the downstairs bathroom, we don't do things like spit toothpaste in the sink or have hair products drain into it but it still gets dirty--mostly water spots.

We had first tried to use a rain-x type product that you would use on a windshield so the water drops wouldn't sit in the sink and would run off. This actually worked for a bit but I don't know if it just wore off or wasn't ideal but our sink is dirty again.

After researching, it sounds like you basically clean it like you would any other glass. You first wet it and wipe dry with a paper towel. (To be honest, I don't know what the point of this first step is but I have gone without it before and it really seems like you do need it.) Then, spray with windex or a vinegar solution. Let sit for a bit (like a minute or two) and wipe clean with a rag. Be careful that the rag is soft and smooth because glass can scratch easily and anything rougher (like some sponges) would be too much.

If you really want to make it shine, after wiping out the windex, wipe the sink again with crumpled newspaper.

And you're done. How easy is that?
