Fear not, friends. If you have a microwave, pop your sponges in for one minute when you've finished the dishes. Not much can survive that.

Also, here's a chart on water usage for those interested. So good to know that this many people are concerned and try to take care of our resources.

True, the fence is lovely but I'd like to know from the readers if this is something not seen in the rest of the country? Here in LA, the horizontal fence has been pretty much standard fare for, I'd say, over 5 years. Please don't read this as elitist or anything, I'm really just curious about the spread of such aesthetic trends.

Pop me an answer here or via my tiny, little design blog:

Thanks, all!

Why coat the very place food and dishes are washed with some mysterious happy chemical? (By the way, adding bleach and drain openers to the city water system contributes to an ecological nightmare. We don't need to use them.)

If one doesn't want to deal with the problem oneself, then call a plumber. They'll source the issue (perhaps accumulated fats, etc. lining the pipes) and handle it effectively and probably for a lot less that the gallons of Febreeze that will have to be purchased over time.

I hope those with stinky drains will deal with the common household problem rather than masking the effects with chemical solutions. The kitchen is where we feed ourselves and our families with the wholesome ingredients to life. Unless you would ingest it, don't bring it near your food.
