Cleaning the house {Kitchen sink}

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend!

After a week of hosting parties, cooking or barbecuing we probably have a house to clean now.  I know that's nobody's favorite task but with a few tips it doesn't have to be that bad!

Did you know that your kitchen sink might have more bacteria than your toilet?  I know, pretty disgusting if you ask me.  Luckily there are some super-duper easy steps to clean and disinfect

First make sure the sink is not clogged.  There's a simple way to fix that: Baking soda + Vinegar

Also, vinegar is great to disinfect!  Pour a little directly on sink, you can also put some in a spray bottle to make sure it covers every area of it, let it sit for few minutes and then rinse. Polish with baking soda and a little bit of dish soap.  Don't forget the faucet and edges and with the help of a tooth brush or cleaning brush clean inside/around the drainer too.

To deodorize the garbage disposal, pour ice in the drainer add salt and cold water...

Then add some lemons and run the garbage disposal.  Your drainer should be unclogged and smelling fresh now!

Do you have a white sink?  Do not worry, if baking soda doesn't work you can try something a little stronger, it doesn't have to involve chemicals or bleach.

Try Scour off from Shaklee.  Apply the paste and let it sit for few minutes, then scrub and voila! We did this for a clients sink and she was totally amazed by the results!

You don't have to do this only on deep/spring cleaning, it's really super simple and quick and most importantly you can rest assure that your kitchen sink is truly clean every time you prepare your meal!
