The kitchen sink should be one of the cleanest surfaces in our home. Unfortunately, quite often, it's full of germs. After all, the kitchen sink sees a lot of action.


We rinse our fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, and almost anything we can think of in the sink. We drain our pots and pans into it. We wash dishes, glasses, and silverware there.
Sometimes, we even toss a child or two in it for a nighttime bath. Maybe we even rinse the pet's dishes and toys.


Unfortunately, simply rinsing the sink until it looks clean is not going to keep it germ free. Regular cleaning and sanitizing should take place in order to protect your family from germs and bacteria. Different types of sinks require different types of cleaning solutions. However, they can all benefit from a simple sanitizing procedure that works to deter germs and bacteria from taking roost.


To sanitize the kitchen sink, you have three basic options. You can purchase a commercial disinfectant and use it according to the directions on the label. Commercial disinfectants are available in most home improvement stores, discount stores, supermarkets, and online.


For ceramic and cast iron sinks, you can prepare a solution of one part liquid chlorine bleach to sixteen parts water. You cannot use this solution on stainless steel sinks. Additionally, you need to exercise caution when using a solution that includes liquid chlorine bleach. Pour it slowly and be careful not to get any on surfaces that will undergo damage.
An application of undiluted white vinegar on the kitchen sink is another option that you can use. For the best results, apply the vinegar using a clean cloth to ensure that the entire sink is treated with it.
