Or those crumbs in the fridge?
I also shared with you that I usually use my kitchen sink for this process instead of a mop bucket.Not surprisingly, a few readers were pretty concerned about whether or not that practice was safe and sanitary, so today I thought I’d tell you a little bit more about how I like to clean my stainless steel kitchen sink and sanitize it after I use it for heavy-duty cleaning like that..
I use my kitchen sink for almost all of my big cleaning jobs, just like it’s a big bucket of hot soapy water, but more convenient!So if I’m wiping down walls and cabinets, or doing any Spring (or Summer, Fall, or Winter) scrubbing, I use that sink.It actually doesn’t get used for dishes all that often since we got our new dishwasher about a year and half ago, because I just love that dishwasher!
The sink does get used daily though and I actually clean it out and wipe it down several times a day.If it gets really in need of a good deep-cleaning itself or if I’ve done something like mopping the floors with it, here’s how I clean it afterwards!.
So here’s my sink!.
After being used for cleaning, rinsing off plates and dumping that last little bit of coffee out of the mugs for a few days, it can start to look pretty dingy..It’s amazing what a difference you can make with a few basic DIY skills and a little creativity!.
We really wanted a comfortable to spot to sit out on the deck, but we also wanted to be able to walk without interruption from the back door to the stairs.There was really no good place to put the BBQ, so we came up with a pretty fun solution.. We made this little BBQ nook off the side of the eating area so it’s like the cooking station is kind of built in to the “wall” of the deck and we can easily cook and put food right on the table without having to travel far at all.. Just that tiny little deck extension really opened up the whole deck and made it feel so much bigger!
By the way, Chris insisted that I at least pull that giant weed under the deck for this picture.Clearly, I did not.
