Someone asked me in my comments if I'd heard of FlyLady

Someone in my comments asked if I’d heard of FlyLady, and apparently that was all it took for me to order her book and start deep cleaning my sink. 😂 Her first challenge is to make your sink shine, then build the habit of keeping it that way. If you want to try it, here are the steps for the first big clean: 1. Take everything out of the sink. 2. Fill it with hot water, add one cup of household bleach, and let it sit for an hour. If you have a double sink, do one side at a time. 3. Drain it and rinse really well. 4. Scrub with a sink-safe cleanser (I used a Brillo pad) or baking soda, then rinse it all away. 5. Clean around the rim and faucet. An old toothbrush helps with the little gross spots. 6. Once everything is thoroughly rinsed, use window cleaner to make it shine. You only do that whole process once. Afterward, the goal is to put dishes straight into the dishwasher and dry the sink when it gets wet. I’ve also started checking the sink each night and running the dishwasher right after, thanks to a tip from someone else in my comments. So far I’m giving this habit a 7/10. I like waking up to a clean sink. I’m still working on remaining emotionally stable when someone puts a dish in it. Have you tried FlyLady? Tell me which habits stuck, because I’m testing these systems as I go and I want to know what’s actually worth keeping. Please rinse thoroughly between cleaning products and never mix bleach with other cleaners.
