“Deep Cleaning Your Kitchen Sink to Prevent Odors and Bacteria”
Share
The kitchen sink is one of the most used—and most overlooked—parts of the kitchen. Food scraps, grease, and soap residue build up quickly, causing bad smells and bacterial growth.
Begin by rinsing away loose debris, then sprinkle baking soda over the sink surface. Scrub with a soft brush to lift stains and deodorize naturally. For stainless steel sinks, add lemon juice to enhance shine.
Next, pour hot water and vinegar down the drain to break down food particles. If odors persist, drop a few lemon peels into the garbage disposal and run it for a fresh scent.
Finish by wiping the faucet handles and edges, where grime tends to accumulate.
✔ TIP: Clean your sink every night to prevent next-day buildup.
