How to Clean Kitchen's Steel Sink

 The thing regarding your stainless steel sink is as follows: It does not appear to be the ideal environment for bacteria to develop (especially if you clean it regularly with soap and water). However, germs are cunning and can thrive almost anyplace. That is why it is a good idea to disinfect your sink on a regular basis. This is how you do it.

A Remark on Bleach

In this How To, we recommend disinfecting your sink with bleach. This is because bleach is an extremely powerful disinfectant that kills mold, bacteria, and viruses. Having said that, bleach can be harmful if handled improperly. Here are a few precautions to take to ensure that you use bleach safely.

Before disinfecting with bleach, clean the surface with soap and water. Because bleach is a disinfectant, not a cleaning, you'll want to start with a clean surface.

Avoid excessive bleaching. A small amount goes a long way! We're talking about a capful (or slightly more than a tablespoon) per gallon of water, or around a 1:50 ratio.

Never combine with other cleaners. The most important rule to follow when using bleach is to avoid mixing it with other cleaners such as vinegar, ammonia, or rubbing alcohol. Toxic vapors will be produced as a result of the chemical reaction.

Make sure to use cold water, not boiling. Because hot water degrades the active element in bleach, it is critical to dilute it with cold water. How to Disinfect and Clean a Stainless Steel Sink

What You Will Require

Soap for dishes

Sponge

Bleach

Gloves made of rubber

Vinegar blanc

Microfiber cloth or dishtowel that is clean and dry

Instructions

Begin with an empty sink: This may seem self-evident, but if you're going to clean your sink, it should be completely empty. There are no dishes, no food, no nothing.

Clean the sink with dish soap and warm water: This is your first line of defense and will take care of the majority of the work. Use a sponge or microfiber cloth; avoid using a metallic cleaning pad, which will harm the stainless steel!

Stop the drain, fill the sink with water, and add about a capful of bleach per gallon of water. Allow 5 minutes for it to sit.

Meanwhile, soak your sponge in the bleach solution and wipe off the faucet.

Drain the sink and wipe it off: Drain the sink, wipe it down with a damp sponge, and allow it to air dry.

Once your sink is entirely dry, polish it with a diluted vinegar solution (half vinegar, half water) and a clean, dry microfiber cloth or dishtowel.

Notes

You may use rubber gloves if desired, although they are not required. The diluted bleach solution is strong enough to accomplish the work but not so strong that you need be concerned about getting it on your skin.

If you're opposed to bleach, substitute vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.

Finally, you can polish your sink with flour - yes, wheat!

You Should Not Clean this Kitchen Tool EverQ

 Sponges are unsanitary. Not only is it odiferous and stinky, but it is also teeming with bacteria that could make you sick. (According to some, the average household sponge is dirtier than a toilet seat.) As with any other germ-infested item or surface in your home, it makes sense to attempt to clean your sponge. Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? You'd assume so, but you'd be wrong. We'll explain why, but just as a heads-up, you should probably just replace your filthy sponge. Make no attempt to clean it. Simply discard it and replace it with a fresh one. Please. Tossing your sponge in the microwave is one of the most frequently advised germ-fighting techniques. In principle, this is a wonderful idea: Microwaving generates heat, which kills some bacteria on your sponge. However, as convenient as nuking is, it is ineffective at eliminating germs. To begin, it poses a significant fire hazard: Microwaving your sponge fast generates sparks that may harm your sponge an

 Weeknight dinner themes provide a foundation for simple meal planning — or, at the very least, last-minute supper choices! In my household, we begin the week with Meatless Monday and end it with Pizza Friday – a long-standing practice that helps me keep a modicum of sanity. As the new season and school year begin, I've decided to add another theme: Instant Pot Wednesdays! This honey mustard chicken was my first excursion into this new theme. Consider it a lighter version of a typical pot roast: Chicken breasts or thighs (both are soft and juicy when cooked) go well with sweet carrots and buttery potatoes. A combination of honey and light Dijon mustard imparts an air of elegance while remaining approachable to my children's palates. An Easy-to-Love Instant Pot Dinner What is the best aspect of Instant Pot dinners? Only one pot needs to be cleaned!
