The sink is a frequently used place in the family, and this is an area that contains more bacteria than other locations in the house. If not cleaned periodically, the sink will accumulate dirt and form a biofilm that sticks to the porcelain surface.
Accordingly, housewives should apply some appropriate procedures to help clean the sink quickly and effectively, helping to prevent bacteria and infectious diseases.
Prepare appropriate hygiene supplies
Before starting to clean the sink, housewives need to prepare some suitable cleaning utensils such as rubber gloves and soft brushes and super-fine fabric towels. Depending on the material of the sink, choose a specialized solution or a natural mixture such as vinegar and baking soda.
Using the appropriate solution will ensure safety when cleaning as well as not worn the enamel layer. Besides, don't forget to wear gloves during the sink cleaning process to help ensure the skin is always clean and smooth.
Surface and faucet treatment
Before cleaning the sink, clean up all personal belongings. After rinsing to wet the sink, put the cleaning solution into the bottom of the sink. For yellow stains, let the solution soak for about 10 minutes.
The peripheral corners such as the foot of the tap are where bacteria easily reside, so a small brush is needed to scrub thoroughly. Stainless steel taps should be wipeed gently with a vinegar-soaked cloth to help remove calcium residue to restore shine. This is also an effective antibacterial method for the sink.
Disinfect tanks and drains
Use a sponge to scrub and wash in a circular motion from top to bottom. With this process, housewives need to pay attention not to use iron rods because it is very easy to scratch the glaze inside the tank. For drainage holes, you can add a little baking soda mixed with hot vinegar to help remove yellow stains more easily.
Deep drain cleaning is an integral part of the sink cleaning process. Finally, rinse it all with clean water until it is shiny.
Drying the sink
Many housewives often skip the dry cleaning step after cleaning the sink. Use a dry towel to wipe away water on the porcelain surface and metal parts. A dry sink will help prevent water from settling and become as bright and beautiful as new.
Regularly cleaning the sink not only ensures the health of the family but also protects the interior to be clean, beautiful, and durable over time.
