It’s just a temporary solution, but I think I may have a fun idea to make it even better..
You might look crazy but at least you’ll know it’s really clean!.So I let the sink soak for a bit while the temperature of the water comes down.
I take this time to grab an old toothbrush and scrub around the edges of the sink and the faucet..I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!
I like to take my toothbrush again and get into the cracks around the drain and also get any grimeyness out of the drain itself.. I’m pretty sure that all those dark spots are all coffee stains from all the coffee we drink around here!.The next step is for those of us with old, well-worn sinks.
If your sink gets dings and scratches in it like mine does, you can gently buff them out using one of these green scrubbies..
I just like to gently scrub over the entire sink in a circular motion.We got a new grey rug that was much much bigger than the old red one before.
It’s just a cheapo, but having that big clean surface for kids to play on makes the room feel so much more usable.When it gets stray pieces sticking out from Chuck and his long nails, we just give it a little hair cut.. After those basics were taken care of, I’ve just slowly been adding things here and there, following some little rules I made for this room in my head and now this room makes me jump for joy.
Sometimes literally.It’s a little weird, but my family is mostly used to me now..
