Do you dry the sink?

[Yossarian]

Apparently - and this was news to me - some people use tea towels or paper towels to dry off the inside of the kitchen sink after every use - do you do this? If so, why?

 

[Pickman's model]

No. Because it'd be stupid

 

[Magnus McGinty]

No. I don’t think I know anyone that does.

 

[maomao]

some people

Name names!

We need a public poll to out the wrong 'uns

 

[DotCommunist]

Not every use but if I was cleaning a kitchen for (cleaning) work yes. Also leave the washing up bowl in there dry and at a jaunty angle. Fair to say I'll towel dry the whole sink draining boards and taps twice a month. If I was doing a deep clean, for money, I'd buff the taps with a microfibre cloth for the mirror shine.

 

[maomao]

Ask them if they do the bath too. Because that's just a sink you can fit a person in.

 

[Elpenor]

Yeah sometimes. Usually if it’s time to put the tea towel into the washer

 

[danny la rouge]

No. Life is too short.

 

[MickiQ]

No why? it's designed so that water will run away. Mop up any that splashes on the worktop though.

 

[weltweit]

nope - next

 

[pogofish]

Only after I give it a clean. Maybe once a week and yes, the cloth goes in the wash.

 

[AnnaKarpik]

I like to when I've just cleaned it, for a blinding shine that lasts about two seconds in the real world and years in my memory.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Once a week it gets a scour with a bit of fairy liquid

 

[sealion]

No, but my butler does.

 

[A380]

Nope

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I only ever dry the sink when it's wet, and then I let evaporation do the job for me.

 

[cesare]

I'm in a hardwater area so will give it a bit of a dry when I'm cleaning it in the vain hope that it'll need less viakal next time.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Fuck me, the world is a strange place.

 

[xenon]

What? Fucking madness.

 

[existentialist]

Apparently - and this was news to me - some people use tea towels or paper towels to dry off the inside of the kitchen sink after every use - do you do this? If so, why?

No, but I always wash it before I use it the next time.

 

[weltweit]

I cleaned out my Microwave on the weekend, it was filthy.

I didn't dry that either, just left it with the door open for a while.

Nice to have a clean Microwave, must be something in this cleaning lark

 

[danny la rouge]

I’m already annoyed about having to clean the shower because it got dirty with soap and water so it needs cleaned with water and a different kind of soap.

 

[newme]

No because I wash it properly after use and don't use one of those sodding washing up bowls which seem designed to cover your entire sink area in grease and leftover crap.

White vinegar ftw

 

[The39thStep]

Nope . I give it a spray with some kitchen cleaner after I have used it and a quick wipe. Anyway, the dishwasher is the way to go.

 

[ouirdeaux]

How do you get the sink into the dishwasher?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Boom-tish

I have moss and invertebrates to keep my shower clean

 

[weepiper]

Why on earth would you want to do that?
