Household Items That We're Washing Too Much, Or Way Too Little

Everything Plus the Kitchen Sink

When it comes to kitchen sinks, people tend to fall into two camps. Some meticulously wash the sink every time they finish the dishes, while others forget about it for weeks. It might seem odd to clean the very thing you just used to wash everything else, but trust us, it makes a difference

Why let grime build up when a quick wipe-down can keep your sink sparkling and your kitchen smelling fresh? Once you make this a habit, you’ll wonder how you ever skipped it. Plus, it only takes a few seconds to rinse and wipe the sink after dishes—no heavy scrubbing required. For an extra boost, use a disinfectant spray or baking soda to tackle any lingering odors. Small habits like this not only maintain cleanliness but also make your kitchen a more pleasant space to cook and gather. Isn’t it worth a little effort for a spotless, inviting kitchen?
