How To Deep Clean Your Kitchen Sink

Cleaning is one of my favorite past times. I know that sounds weird, but I get great satisfaction out of cleaning my home from top to bottom on a Saturday afternoon. I would claim to be more of a master tidier than deep cleaner though. There are parts of my house like the baseboards, blinds, appliances etc... that only get cleaned once a year when we're typically moving out of one home and into another. 

Because we swear and promise that this house we just bought is our final last move ever, I figured now would be a great time to get into a good "deep cleaning routine", where I pick one part of the home each week to give a little extra care and detail to so that these once-a-year duties become a more regular part of my life. 

Best Tools for Cleaning Your Kitchen Sink: 

While we do rinse out the sink each time we load the dish washer, I've been trying to get in the habit of doing a deep clean and scrubbing it down a couple times a month so it doesn't get out of hand. The best and easiest way for me to do this is with Palmolive® Ultra Oxy and Scotch-Brite® Advanced Scrub Dots Non-Scratch Scrubbers.

The combination of Palmolive®​ Ultra Oxy and Scotch-Brite®​ Advanced Scrubbers makes it so easy to lift away food and debris on many of your surfaces like cast-iron pans, Dutch ovens, outdoor grills, and even kitchens sinks! The Scotch-Brite®​ Advanced Scrubbers are amazing because the sponge has anti-microbial†​ agents that protects itself from bacterial odors. These scrubbers have powerful non-scratch scrubbing power, making it safe for non-stick cookware and other products. 

Palmolive®​ Ultra Oxy is perfect for this job because it's tough on grease, soft on hands, and attacks grease and hard to fight surface stains, like coffee. 

How To Deep Clean Your Kitchen Sink: 

The first thing you need to do to clean your kitchen sink goes without saying: take out all of the dishes (either wash them or load the dishwasher). The next thing I like to do is give the sink a quick rinse just to wet the surface. 

Then I take my Palmolive®​ Ultra Oxy and pour just a little bit into the sink (a little goes a long way). Next I take my Scotch-Brite® Advanced Scrubber and lightly scrub the sink using a circular motion all the way around. 

Usually at this point I'll let it sit for a minute or two while I spray down and wipe the counter tops or clean something else. When I'm ready to come back to it I spray away all the soap and rinse the sink completely. 

Finally I take a dish towel and buff the sink dry. This gives it the best shine and seriously makes your sink look like it's brand new again.
