How To Clean A Sink
1. Clean Your Sink Frequently
You can clean stains from the bathroom sink before hosting a dinner party or clean the kitchen sink after washing dishes, but how often do you use cleaning products in your sink to eliminate germs and odors?
Regular cleaning is perfectly healthy, however, you should do a deep sink cleaning about once a week.
2. Use The Right Tools From The Start
We’re going to tell you what the best sink cleaning equipment is. Here’s what to include on your shopping list the next time you go to the hardware store.
• A plumbing snake narrow enough for your drain opening
• A toothbrush specifically for cleaning (so it doesn’t have to be fancy)
• Small, reusable sandwich bags
• Rubber bands
• An eco-friendly cleaner
• A high-quality natural soft sponge or washable microfiber cloth
Also, save and recycle an old toothbrush to clean those hard-to-reach places

3. Stay Away From Toxics: Harmful Substances That Can Cause Harm
You should opt for environmentally friendly and non-harsh cleaning solutions. Because many household products contain potentially toxic chemicals that can harm your skin, your health, and even your senses. However, there are 3 reasons why you should ditch the DIY route and opt for a safer, commercially produced cleaning product:
• DIY solutions just don’t work as well: For built-up grease (like the kind you’ll often find in your kitchen sink, especially after fried chicken night), vinegar just won’t cut it – literally. Vinegar is not a surfactant, and it can’t cut grease, plain and simple.
• You could hurt yourself: Imagine you have household chlorine bleach (bleach) lying around and decide to use it on your porcelain sink. Then, you fill a spray bottle with vinegar to wipe down your countertops or sink fixtures with a paper towel. It seems harmless, but the vinegar and bleach fumes combine to create deadly chlorine gas. Don’t do this.
• Who has the time? Why spend time researching and creating your own concoctions, when effective and safer cleaners already exist? Simply put, it’s better to spend time on other tasks, reading a good book, or spending time with your family.
