Daily Cleaning Tips For All Sinks

While the kitchen is the heart of the home, the kitchen sink is the center of your kitchen, if not literally, at least figuratively. Much of the activity of food preparation centers around this area, and as such it can get quite dirty and messy.

Therefore, your sink needs to be cleaned daily. Fortunately, this daily cleaning process is quite simple, and doesn't take much extra time at all after you remove all the dirty dishes from it.

In addition, while there are differences in the way you should deep clean a stainless steel sink and a porcelain sink, which I'll discuss more below, the daily cleaning of both types of sinks is pretty much the same.

For daily sink care, each night after dinner, you should completely empty your sink of dirty dishes, and pots and pans and either load the dishwasher or handwash these items.

In addition, make sure to remove all food scraps and rinse the sink drain out thoroughly, which will help reduce odors.

Once the sink is clear cleaning your sink nightly is as easy as wiping it out with your dish rag, soaked in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of dish soap.

You just want to remove any debris or grease that has accumulated from cooking and other cleaning of the sink, and scrub away any large particles of food that are sticking to the bottom or side of the sink.

After rubbing down the bottom and sides of the sink give it a quick rinse and then dry quickly with a clean cloth, so you don't get water spots or accumulate hard water build up, and you're done. Simple and easy!

How To Deep Clean Your Sink: Instructions For The Two Most Common Types

Here are the two main articles on the site providing additional tips for deep cleaning both types of sinks, although obviously there are many ways to do it, and I've also got reader tips listed below these two main articles for even more ideas for you.
