How often should I clean my kitchen sink?

Question

Here is a time lapse video of mine getting dirty

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W0qYPrZz8v0

It started to smell after 10 days and blocked up after 22 days so I had to clean it then. LOL

Answer 1

My kitchen sink gets cleaned every day before and after washing dishes, no matter how many times per day dishes are washed.  Baking soda down the kitchen drain at least once a week to keep it 'smelling fresh".

Answer 2

once a day

Answer 3

I wash mine before and after I do the dishes. Do you wash the dishes in your sink or the dishwasher? Anyway, in the first seconds of the video, I could tell you need to clean the sink at least every other day or so.

Answer 4

I think so!

Answer 5

before every use like washing dishes I bleach mine before and after every use

Answer 6

before 22 days  lol

Answer 7

I would have cleaned it on Day 1.. and definately by day 3!

Even if you don't scrub it out every single day, at least just make sure all that dirt goes into the drain! Just run the water for a moment or too, no scrubbing required. You should probably clean your kitchen with some sort of chemical at least one a week though.. then it won't be stinky!

Answer 8

Every single day ! at least once, Mine gets cleaned very time the dishes are done, and bleached every night.

Answer 9

Everyday, because your sink is rated the #1 spot with the most germs.

Answer 10

Think about it.  How can you clean dishes in a dirty sink?

Gosh, some people wash their babies in the kitchen sink, but I wouldn't want my baby even drinking a bottle that's touched your sink.

A sink should be one of cleanest parts of your home.  Unfortunately, too many people think it's a toilet, and I can see why.

Answer 11

I clean mine at least every three days, especially if your cooking a lot! Do you know how much germs and things are washed away down the sink after cleaning peoples plates, and forks and knife. If you don't want to scrub it sometimes I just leave clorox in the the sink with water over nite with the sponges and wake up and leak it out. So that way it atleast killed some bacteria =).

Answer 12

you sound realy thick to me, why would you leave your sink get in that state. clean it every two days  and let water run down it to rince , you sound like your letting all sorts go down the sink that's why it's getting blocked.common sence is what's needed

Answer 13

once every 3-4 days

Answer 14

wash it ever 2 or 3 days.

Answer 15

Evert time it gets dirty. You should also put a solution of Soda Crystals down all your sinks one a month to keep them clear and clean smelling.  

Answer 16

Interesting. How did you manage with cooking? I clean my sink at least twice a day.

Answer 17

I clean mine everyday. I hate it being dirty

Answer 18

Every time you used it.

Desinfect it with Dettol.

Answer 19

More often than every 22 days, I would say.  I clean mine every day - sometimes a few times a day if I am cooking.  

Answer 20

whenever it's dirty, obviously.

Answer 21

every other day.

Answer 22

everyday will be a great idea.  but much better would be every mornin and every evening

Answer 23

Clean your sink EVERYDAY!!!! You Must !!! Its important !!! Be Clean !!
