    I use pure bleach on mine. Try dabbing it on a very small spot. If it works well, then fill the sink with a water bleach mixture.

    Be careful with the bleach, if it is too strong it will tarnish the drain. We use Barkeepers cleaner on ours. It's a powered cleaner that is real mild, My wife also uses those Mr.Clean scrubbing pads ( those work great for taking marks off your boats also).

    i just replaced mine, i had a white acrylic that the previous owner had apparently poured hot grease in, bleach would mask the stain for a week or two, i spent 99 at home depot for a new one just like it

    Try a product called "Bar Keepers Friend". It's what was recommended by the place we ordered our sink from when we had our house built. I think my uses it on our smooth-top stove as well.

    Bar keepers will clean it but here is the trick. Wet the sink and sprinkle the cleaner on then just drag a wet paper towel around not using any pressure. Let it sit for a few minutes then rinse it off. Using pressure will put fine scratches in the acrylic. Use it this way with porcelain and SS also. We keep a small spray bottle filled with the cleaner, just shake and spray.

    Sand it with real fine sand paper. Is it Corian?
