I think this is great for ANYONE moving into a new house/apartment. It should definitely be done before heavy use of the sink just to make sure all the bits from the previous tenants are gone. >.<

It's amazing how so many people seem upset just because someone told them a good way to clean their sink. I'll agree that it may seem a tad 'anal', but damn. Cleaning isn't a horrible thing..

- To everyone who complaining about wiping down the sink after each use.. Read again. They said after cleaning, not each use. I dry it after cleaning it.. Is it so horrible to clean your sink once a night? Is it so hard to wipe down when you're finished with your dishes? May be a bit overboard but why am I going to clean the sink and not get the sparkle of it when it's dry? I don't care if it gets used in ten minutes, it take 3 seconds to dry it once after it's clean.

- Someone asked about the vinegar, it's a great way to get rid of hard water. I recently cleaned my bathtub doors with vinegar, and the smell is a bit much, but it make it sparkle so beautifully.

- But I don't see why so many people are complaining about the 3 ways to clean your disposal.. It's not like you have to do all three all the time. Clean it every few months and whenever you have eggs shells/citrus rinds, throw them into it. The eggs shells are supposed to help the blades, and the rinds keep it smelling fresh. Lemon juice also works in a pinch if it's stinky from a clog or something.

But people seem so offended that someone would actually want a clean sink. They seem to think this person is sitting there daily cleaning the sink like this. I just don't understand the immediate rejection of a good idea just because you don't understand why it would be done.

Also, to the one person who said unless you're a slob you don't need to do this. Well, that's ridiculous. Even with light cleanings daily, you still get an accumulation of gunk, that should be removed periodically. And as I said in the beginning of my comment, it's great for people who are just moving into a place (like I am) who is questionable of what's been in the sink before I moved in.

Big thanks to the OP for taking time out of their day to try and help someone else. :)

PS - Old dryer sheets are great for polishing faucets and handles. Just take it when you're finished with your load of laundry and polish the faucet with it. It makes it so shiny.. ^.^
