Our porcelain-enamel kitchen sink has developed stains, especially where
the plastic "feet" of a "sink protector" have rested. I think that stuff
that has been dropped into the sink and not rinsed away immediately has
caught on those "feet" and remained there long enough to stain the
surface. I have cleaned the sink from time to time with Soft-Scrub, but
hat no longer seems effective, and now I find that the stained areas
actually feel rougher than the unstained areas.
Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Any way to seal the surface?

Hi Perce,
You've probably solved the problem by now, but I ran across your post when looking for a solution to a similarly worn sink. Like you, I can get the stains out, but they reappear when just a touch of anything colorful/acidic touches the sink. Blueberries, tomato sauce, and raspberries make instant tough stains. I noticed that most of your respondents didn't address the key issue - a way to seal the porcelain to keep the stains from happening with every contact (except the guys who insist that you get a stainless steel sink
Anyway, I found a product here after reading these posts:
http://www.superjetco.com/Bprocess.html. They have a claning/sealing/polishing system that I plan to order tonight. I'm going to get a "1-tub kit" for $34.95. Maybe I can save part to reapply in the future if needed. I'll check back here after I use it and let you know how it works out, if you would like. Let me know.
