Yellow Curry Stains on White Porcelain Sink

Hi All,
I've had a great method for keeping my white porcelain sink looking great. A kitchen cleaner on a daily basis (409 or Fantastick), some soft scrub with bleach on a tough stain, and if that doesn't work, a little bit of Barkeeper's Friend. And once it's snow-white, a layer of car polish every few months to keep stains easy to wipe off with the kitchen cleaner so I rarely need the other stuff.

I made chicken with green curry the other day (it was delicious). But, the curry stained the sink with yellow spots and none of the above will get the stain out.

Does anyone have any tricks I might try?

Thanks!

How about white vinegar or lemon juice? Both are good for cleaning on tough stains. :)

Family Dollar has a mildew and mold remover taht gets mine nice and white again. Just spray, let sit for a while and then scrub with sponge. I recommend rubber gloves. If the stain does not all come out repeat.

Spray Bleach and if that doesn't work Comet. I always use the spray first because it is less abrasive, but Comet gets anything out.

For my white sink I pour in some vinegar, then sprinkle some baking soda. It forms a paste, and then use a cloth to scrub the stains.

I use Comet powdered cleanser. I sprinkle it on, add a little water, and use a brush to scrub it in. Let it sit 20-30 minutes and rinse well.

Do not use straight Chlorox type bleach. It eats away the finish. Once may not hurt but if you use it full strength very often the porcelain will get rough. I know because I moved into a house with a rough sink and that was the cause.

Magic eraser has worked for me every time.
