How to keep your kitchen sink clean: No grease or unpleasant smells

Even if your kitchen sink is made of dark stone or metal, and you don't see dirt on it, it should be cleaned regularly.

A greasy and smelly sink can make the entire kitchen look dirty, so it should be carefully looked after.

Here is how you can do it.

Clean it regularly

Ideally, clean it daily or after each use to prevent food particles, grease, and stains from accumulating.

Rinse After Use

After using the sink, rinse it well with warm water to remove all food debris, liquids, or residue.

Don't only use water

Apply a bit of mild dish soap to a sponge or cloth and carefully scrub the sink's surfaces, including the basin, faucet, and handles.

Pay Attention to Corners and Edges

Don't forget to clean the corners, edges, and crevices of the sink where dirt and grime can accumulate.

Remove Stains and Mineral Deposits

If you notice any stains or mineral deposits (for instance, hard water spots) in your sink, you can mix baking soda and water and clean it.

Disinfect Regularly

To kill bacteria and get rid of smells, it's important to disinfect your sink periodically.

Clean the Drain

The drain can accumulate old food particles and develop unpleasant smells.

To clean it, pour boiling water down the drain regularly to flush away any buildup.

Dry and Polish

After cleaning, dry the sink with a clean towel or microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and mineral deposits.
