The Best Ways To Clean A Sink
The Best Ways To Clean A SinkIn any kitchen, it usually falls on the sink to provide much of the cleaning for all of the crockery and the cutlery. Cleaning pots and pan in a sink can be easy enough, but it becomes a great deal more difficult when the sink itself is not clean. As such, finding a way in which to make sure that the sink is kept as clean as possible should not only be a part of professional cleaning services or a deep cleaning system, but can easily be incorporated into a standard cleaning process which you might already employee in your home. By following the below steps, you can help make sure that you sink is kept as clean as possible and, by extension, make your other cleaning that much easier. The first step for cleaning a sink should be quite obvious, but it is important to make sure that any dirty dishes or left over food is cleared out of the area before you begin. Having the entire area (and possibly some of the surrounding area) free will be vital when it comes to approaching the cleaning chore as it will give you more room to manoeuvre. Next, use a gentle soap and begin to wash down the entire surface are of the sink. Anything which surrounds it should be washed accordingly using a soft cloth and warm water. The plug, the basin, the taps, the draining board and any other feature of your sink should be given the same due care and attention. It is important to do this as often as possible as it removes bacteria and germs from an area which could well be used during food preparation. If there is a bad smell coming from your drains or you believe that some form of blockage might have formed, the next step involves running hot water down the plug. Boil a kettle and allow the water to flow down the drain. This might be the best method for removing standard build ups, though if your drain has a larger blockage then you might need a more specialist product. Bleach drain unblockers or caustic soda can remove grease and debris which builds up and those who choose to use these options should take particular care to follow the instructions and make sure that they get the best possible solution without risking themselves when it comes to these corrosive chemicals. The next step is to make up a simple formula. Combine a single teaspoon of baking soda and sixty millilitres of lemon juice and then begin to pour it over the sink area. And down the drain. Leave this to stand for around ten minutes and then use more hot water to rinse the area. This can help prevent bad smells and can keep the sink area fresh at all times. When the above steps are complete, be sure to wash down the area with a combination of hot water and a soft cloth. Leaving the metal looking shiny and clean is important, but the best result from this is that you have removed any harmful bacteria which might have begun to build up. Cleaning a sink can often be far easier than it seems and can even be done following the completion of the washing up or more general kitchen chores. Doing the cleaning of the sink area should be carried out once a week and the more regularly it is done, the less difficult it will become every time. This means that the more you clean your sink, the quicker and easier it will be to complete the task.
