Question:

How do I remove cigarette stains from bathroom sink?

I already tried lemon juice, baking soda, comet. Please help me

Answer:

Clorox? Pour some on the spot or in the sink and let it soak. SimpleGreen or SpitFire may work as well if you let it soak - that stuff can get rid of most stains.
Go to an automotive store (like Checker) and get a polishing compound. Then put some on a cloth and rub. If that doesn't work then try a rubbing compound (a little more abrasive than polishing compound).

The stained linoleum is from a latex backed rug, not cigarette smoking. There is nothing to be done with this stain. You haven't said what the material your cabinets are made from, but it is unlikely that anything would resist comet. If it is the smell of tobacco smoke, it probably comes from the crevices and not the cabinets themselves. Dump an absorbent bath power in the crevices. Let it sit for a while, you don't have to dump it all over. Then you can vacuum and apply again. Or, you can spray cleaning solution in there, just select one that you can tolerate, the scent of the cleaning solution will be there for a while. The other place is if the handles on the cabinets have a large metal backing under which trapped residues are present. Also, if your cabinets have a back wall, then there is another wall behind that which remains uncleaned. I find it odd though that you complain of the bathroom, and not the rest of the house. Smoke does not discriminate. If the rest of the apartment is okay, I don't think you have successfully identified the source of your problem.
I've not seen it in a while, but there is a product called Restore4. That stuff is sprayed on the dry sink and scrubbed off maybe 15 minutes later. But do the whole sink because it will look brand new. The stuff is amazing. I used in on a 25 year old kitchen sink in the home my daughter just bought. We thought it was a yellow sink but cleaned up white and sparkling. I need some more.
