How to clean the kitchen sink the right way
MS CLEANING SERVICES
You may think that with the amount of soap and water that runs into your kitchen sink every day, the sink is relatively clean. But that is simply not the case. The rinsing and splashing with dish soap that happens with daily use do nothing to clean your kitchen sink.
Between food particles, stagnant water, and whatever germs wash into the sink from your hands, the kitchen sink might be one of the germ places in your home! So, how to clean kitchen sink? Check out these tips for cleaning your kitchen sink the right way!
You just need a few simple tips to clean your kitchen sink like a pro. Once you follow this method, you’ll have a shining sink each and every day. We like to make sure our sink is clean before going to bed each night.
Give Your Sink a Thorough Rinse
Before you clean your kitchen sink you’ll want to finish off any dishes and then give the sink a thorough rinse. All food, liquids, and debris should be rinsed away before you start cleaning your kitchen sink. After you rinse, clear the drains as well.
Rinsing your sink free of food and debris is a good daily practice even when you don’t have time for a complete cleaning. For stainless steel sinks, acid and salt from food can damage the finish on your sink.
And for other types of sinks, it makes stains harder to clean. Rinsing your sink completely should be part of your nightly dishes routine.
Sprinkle Baking Soda All Over the Sink
Now that you’ve rinsed your sink of visible food and debris, sprinkle baking soda in the sink. Don’t hold back, try to cover the entire sink.
You can get canisters of baking soda that sprinkle.
Or you can drill some holes in the top of a mason jar. If you go the mason jar route, consider adding a few drops of your favourite essential oils to your baking soda. It will give your whole kitchen a great smell. We like lemon !
Squirt Dish Soap on a Clean Sponge or Cloth
Once you have baking soda covering your sink, you are ready to start scrubbing. You can use a small amount of dish soap on your sponge or cloth for easier cleaning.
Start Scrubbing!
Baking soda is abrasive but not enough to scratch stainless steel or other types of sinks. Scrub your sink from the top down so that you are working your way towards the drain. The best way to clean your kitchen sink is to use a circular motion and scrub out the entire sink.
Sanitise
After you’re done scrubbing your kitchen sink clean, you’ll want to sanitise it. Give your freshly scrubbed sink a good rinse to make sure everything you’ve cleaned off gets washed away and down the drain.
Next, soak some paper towels in white vinegar and use them to line your sink. Cover the entire sink and allow the towels and vinegar to sit for about 20 minutes. Vinegar is a natural sanitiser. And can also help remove hard water stains.
Clean Faucets
Now that your sink basin is clean and sanitised, don’t forget to clean your faucet and handle. Faucets and sink handles can be cleaned with a mild soapy solution. Dish soap or a surface cleaner and a sponge should work well.
After cleaning your faucets, use a vinegar-soaked cloth to wipe them down and sanitise these often handled surfaces.
Deodorise the Disposal or Drain
A stinky garbage disposal or drain won’t go well with your freshly cleaned kitchen sink. For a disposal, sprinkle about ½ cup of baking soda down your disposal and follow it with a cup of vinegar. The mixture will fizz for a few minutes. For a drain, just use a little less.
Follow the baking soda and vinegar with hot water for rinsing. This should sanitise and deodorise your drain or disposal.
