KOHLER K-1012525 Cast Iron Cleaner - 8 oz Bottle

tried on porcelain sink

I used Lime-away on my Kohler cast iron/white porcelain farm sink to remove hard city water deposits and after a few months it started developing black stains not long after cleaning. Did some research and found that the Lime-Away had damaged the glaze (apparently, porcelain in 2013 is nothing like in 1910 because no such issue with my claw-foot tubs or original sinks). This Kohler cleaner was suggested by several message board posters and, without a doubt, it works like magic. it cleans, seals and protects. Sink looks like new (1910 tubs and sinks look like new, too) and no more black stains. Really is a great cleaner to boot. Expensive for the small bottle you get, but you use very little each time (just a couple dime-sized drops do it).

Let me preface this by saying I have written less than 10 reviews for products ever. That being said, I felt the need to do it for this. Our house was built in the 20s but an addition (with a bathroom) was put on in 1956. This is the original tub. It’s from a sub company of Sears called Homart and you could purchase a trio set of tub, toilet and sink. Our sink is also still original. I thought the glaze in this tub was ruined. I have tried multiple products because we can’t find this color to reglaze. This cleaner is awesome!!! It got out marks that I have been trying for years to remove. If you’re looking to save your enameled tub, try this!!!

Bought this to try getting the brown, baked-on stains off the inner surface of my Le Creuset enameled dutch oven, as no amount of baking soda and elbow grease could get that job done. This still requires some elbow grease, but it does in fact get those stains off. The inside of my dutch oven—which I’ve been using for four-plus years—looks better now than it has in a very long time. Not brand new, mind you, but pretty darn clean.

Kohler cast iron cleaner managed to make a white cast iron sink gleam and shine again. I like cast iron for its heft and the way it looks with that enamel finish. I also like any color the white, which is where a problem with hard water becomes noticeable. I live inHouston, Texas where the municipal water contains dissolved minerals which appear in colored sinks as white, amorphous forms when the drops have dried. Obviously since they are white, they aren’t noticeable in a white sink. Even though Kohler has around 18 colors available, the salesman said he sold more white than all the other colors combined and then some. Hopefully this sets the stage for what this cleaner does. I have tried products like CLR, Comet, Bon Ami and pumice and could not rid those white outlines. The Kohler cleanser is almost a turquoise colored paste, which can be applied to a Scotch-Brite pad or sponge with a little water and you will be able to rub out those mineral stains with a little effort. I suppose this is a case of matching the right tool for the job and this works exceptionally well. A little goes a long way as I used around six, nickel sized dollops of the cleanser to polish the entire sink. The first cleaning took the most effort with following clean ups taking much less work. So if you have cast iron that is a color white, this product will get the job done. If you find my review helpful please like. Make the white sink look new again.

Works like a charm. I normally make a concoction of baking soda, vinegar and dawn to clean and scrub all of my sinks and tubs, but after investing a good amount on a new Kohler kitchen sink, I felt more comfortable using something specifically designed for the cast iron. Plain and simple; it works. We have EXTREMELY hard water so we have to scrub our sink often to keep it maintained. But even if we slip and let it go for a while, this does the trick. It cleans any grime, sediment, and hard water stains. Easy to use, the smell is pretty neutral. Not fragrance free, but there’s no significant chemical smell either. It doesn’t take much product or effort to get the job done and to get your sink looking brand new again. Highly recommend.

I was skeptical this would actually work for the pot stains on the bottom of my white cast iron sink, it sat in my 'save for later' for months before I finally purchased it. It is AMAZING! I wish I would have taken before and after pictures but I really didn't think it was going to work. My sink looks like the day it was installed. No marks anywhere! I had tried everything, read all the tips and tricks and couldn't get the pot marks removed completely no matter what I did, they would just lighten over time. You don't have to use much either so I think the bottle will last quite awhile but I'll be repurchasing in the future when I run out.

I have a black cast iron sink with a spot light right above it. When the light is on it, you can see every molecule of dirt. I can never get it clean enough with a sponge to pass the "spot light test." Using this product did get it a lot cleaner, but it still wasn't able to get discolorations caused by the sink separator protector. I was surprised that this was much more grittier than I expected. Also, I could see going through this bottle after 4 to 5 cleanings, so consider a larger bottle if you think you'll like it.

My Kohler sink is 25 years old and still in excellent condition. Although Javex quickly removes sink stains, over time it degrades the chrome finish on drain hardware. This product does not, and buffing effort is minimal.

The product arrived within the delivery time scale shown and cleans beautifully. Full marks.

I have a white cast iron apron sink and this cleansing creme is gentle and so effective.

Très efficace sur les rayures de mon évier en fonte émaillée. Je vais acheter ce produit a nouveau sans hésitation. Cependant il est tres cher...
