Do you dry the sink?

[Orang Utan]

Yes of course. And the toilet bowl too, after refilling the cistern with Evian

You aren't even using Fillico Jewelry water?

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

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.

Washing up bowls. Ew. Minging.

 

[bcuster]

I dry the inside of the dishwasher after each use

 

[StoneRoad]

Yup, I'll dry the sink / draining board, fairly often, tbh.

It's stainless steel but our hard(-ish) water leaves marks when it dries, so IF I'm showing off, then the sink, taps and draining board all get cleaned and dried..

 

[newme]

Yeh when I moved in with the other Newme I threw it away after trying twice to manage to use the fucking thing. Having also been a KP for a few years the idea of some disgusting thing that basically got muck poured down the side of it. Just No.

 

[strung out]

Always used a washing up bowl until I moved in with my now wife, who (correctly) pointed out the complete pointlessness of them to me.

Now they make me boke at even the thought of them. Gross things.

Never dried the sink though.

I have the same views about washing up bowls. Stopped using one some years ago

 

[jontz01]

I do the bathroom sink when I'm deep cleaning. Kitchen sink only when I'm moving out of a place, it's the last job, shine up the drainer and sink.

I did used to do it when I lived in a bus and the entire housework took about 3 mins a day.

Otherwise no way. Who's got time for that? And ironing. Bollocks to that too....

 

[jontz01]

Fully agree on bowls. But then I wash everything under cold running water with heaps of soap and rinsing. Just the thought of all that food scum at the bottom. Yeanah

 

[tim]

Only if I plan to take it in my luggage when I visit relatives. They'd moan even more if it was still dripping when I arrived.

 

[friedaweed]

and they say there's no such thing as a stupid question

^ This. Nothing beats a dry, buffed up and shiny stainless steel sink and draining board.

When I’m done drying it. I stand there look at it with pride. Then I make a cup of tea.

 

[jontz01]

And get it wet again while filling the kettle. And curse, before drying it again.

 

[cesare]

The washing up bowl goes in the dishwasher, ffs

 

[JimW]

Only if the piss splashes onto the sides.

 

[krtek a houby]

At work, we'd clean and dry the sinks every day.

I use a washing up bowl so I can save the water for plants but the outside of it and the sink it's sat in are both clean, and I tend to lick plates and pans clean first so there's very little grease or food scraps. All the people who just fling plates in the sink still covered with half their meal give me the boak

This. I only have one sink so if someone has - yet again - hidden a plate with a huge dollop of mustard or something on it with the rest of the dishes, that has to be washed off into the sink rather than the bowl, ditto toast crumbs. Cleaning the bowl is part of cleaning down after washing up.

Luckily not an issue most of the time as I live alone, but I point blank refuse to go near the washing up if someone's done that. It's a sensory thing, genuinely makes me feel ill.

 

[WouldBe]

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.

But do you dry the shower after cleaning it.

 

[danny la rouge]

But do you dry the shower after cleaning it.

I use a squeegee on it after every use, and then spray with a daily eco mist. And then give it a proper clean “when I remember”.

 

[skyscraper101]

I use a squeegee too on my shower. Can't be doing with limescale glass.

 

[Tanya1982]

I’m afraid I do. I’m very particular about sinks and toilets. I’ve not pursued a couple of relationships after I’ve seen their loo. I like them polished to a high shine. A friend of mine has a similar thing about microwaves - new guy, first time she visits she’ll find a way to look inside and under the microwave - and things progress or not from there.

When she told me this, I was glad she’d never looked in mine, because as one of the worlds worst cooks it contains indelible evidence of every exploding ready meal I’ve ever fucked up. When my son was younger and couldn’t make his own meals, I had to serve him with a dedicated teaspoon so he could pick out any bits of molten plastic.

Sinks though. Yes. Kitchen and bathroom. Drying and polishing the sink is the thing I do after brushing my teeth.

 

[Numbers]

We dry ours.

This thread needs a poll.

[Magnus McGinty]

Sinks dry themselves. As do pots on the draining board.

 

[eatmorecheese]

I dry my mouth after eating and dessicate my arse after crapping, but fuck drying the sink. Some weirdos out there

 

[iona]

I voted hell no but had to add only on special occasions because I will if there's a spider or something that I'm trying to catch and relocate, which happens quite a lot
