Drop-on or Lay On kitchen sinks: Most stainless steel kitchen lay-on sinks come in a wide range of measurements, so you can find the best fit for your cabinet size. Select between different configurations of drainers, bowls, reversible or back-stand models, overflows, tap holes, wooden frames, etc. The options are as varied as your needs.

Although it acts on iron compounds, it might help with calcium deposits since it is also used in automotive radiators to remove scale.
