How to Clean Kitchen Sinks?

Answer 1

Some people run them through the dishwasher, but this can cause the sponge to trap bits of food, causing even more bacteria growth. I prefer to wash them with regular liguid dish detergent and rinse, then place in a microwave safe dish in about an inch of water, then microwave for about three minutes. This not only sanitizes the sponge, but it also creates enough steam in the microwave to soften any splatters on the inside, which you can then easily wipe away with a damp paper towel.

Answer 2

Your whole kitchen can be clean, but if the sink is dirty, the kitchen just does not seem as clean anymore. This is because the kitchen sink is often the focal point of a kitchen, meaning that it is vital that it is clean, so the entire room can maintain its level of cleanliness. Since the kitchen sink is used heavily, it will rapidly become soiled with rust, grime or food. Rust is more likely with hard flowing water. Your whole kitchen will look that much better if the sink itself is also clean.

1. Empty the sink, removing everything stored behind it. Move the dish soup to the counter while you clean. Set aside the hand soap. Put away the dishes in the dish drainer, and then put away the dish drainer too.
2. Wash all of the accessories for the sink before cleaning the sink. Clean the dish drainer using a scrub brush. Put this away.
3. Quickly scrub the bottle for the hand soap and the dish soap, which can quickly become covered with unsightly buildups of soap drippings. Use warm water to quickly remove these.
4. Wet the sink in order to give it a preliminary cleaning. Take your scrub brush and include a couple of drops of dish soap, scrubbing the sink to scrub off any food particles that may have gotten stuck to the sink. When everything obvious, such as the food particles, have been forcibly removed from the sink, you will be ready to take the next step into a much deeper, more thorough cleansing.
5. You will need to make use of a cleaning product that is safe for your sink. For example, you can use an abrasive cleanser if your sink is made out of stainless steel, but you will need something more delicate if it is made out of porcelain so that there is no etching or scratching. Make sure to double-check the label and ensure your type of sink is approved by the cleaner and its label. Scrub the whole sink, scrub behind the sinks, scrub the faucet and behind it. Rinse off the sink thoroughly so none of the cleanser remains.
