Bacteria can create something called a biofilm which is essentially a slimy coating that makes them resistant to regular cleaning detergents.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, biofilm itself is often innocuous, as are the everyday microbes living in the kitchen sink. \u201cThey\u2019re just normal environmental bacteria that are part of the water system, or they\u2019re part of the home microbiome,\u201d says Tetro. When left unchecked, however, the biofilm can become a breeding ground of not-so-harmless pathogenic organisms, like campylobacter and certain strains of E.coli, by way of potentially contaminated food.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, biofilm is sticky, so it holds onto whatever comes into contact with it\u2014and if it traps pathogens, that\u2019s when its presence becomes an issue. Its stickiness also makes it difficult to remove. \u201cYou can prevent [biofilm] by regularly cleaning your skin with a detergent, but once they\u2019re there, you can\u2019t get rid of them with detergent. You actually have to use a pretty harsh disinfectant,\u201d Tetro says.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent cleanings can help keep biofilm at bay but without routine disinfection, it can still build up on the surface of your kitchen sink\u2014which is why Tetro stresses the importance of doing both. He recommends cleaning your kitchen sink daily and disinfecting when need be or once a week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-clean-kitchen-sink\/\" current-title=\"Your Kitchen Sink Is Filthier Than a Toilet Seat\u2014Here\u2019s How To Clean and Disinfect It Properly\" current-image=\"Farmhouse-kitchen-sink-with-flowers-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-08\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-clean-kitchen-sink\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-clean-kitchen-sink\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-clean-kitchen-sink\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How to clean a kitchen sink<\/h2>\n<p>Typically, cleaning a kitchen sink is easy, and you probably have everything you need for the job.

You want to give the same level of care to the kitchen sink drain, too. \u201cDirty drains can be a breeding ground for pests like fruit flies,\u201d says Dixon. \u201cYou can use a baking soda and vinegar solution or a disposal-specific product to keep drains clear,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h2>How to disinfect a kitchen sink<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to disinfect your kitchen sink regularly, especially if you\u2019re handling raw meat.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tetro, you can destroy most pathogens using disinfectants with bleach (sometimes labeled sodium hypochlorite), though you\u2019ll want to steer clear of it if you have a stainless steel kitchen sink as it is highly corrosive. As an alternative, you can use hydrogen peroxide. \u201cBleach and hydrogen peroxide can kill numerous different types of bacteria and viruses very effectively,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Another viable option are disinfectants containing citric acid, an ingredient that packs a powerful punch. \u201cThey\u2019re acids that have a component attached to them that is antimicrobial and that will help kill the bacteria,\u201d says Tetro. Regardless of which detergent you use, you\u2019ll always want to ensure that it has a degreasing agent, which will be explicitly stated on the label. This, he says, will help lift biofilm on the surface of a kitchen sink.<\/p>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Clorox%2C+Disinfectant+Cleaner+With+Bleach+Spray%2C+32+Fl.+Oz.\" href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FCloroxPro-Disinfectant-Disinfecting-Healthcare-Industrial%2Fdp%2FB003JXR45Y%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx10011-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fhow-to-clean-kitchen-sink%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fhow-to-clean-kitchen-sink%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CloroxPro-Disinfectant-Disinfecting-Healthcare-Industrial\/dp\/B003JXR45Y\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clorox-disinfectant-cleaner-with-bleach-spray_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"Clorox Disinfectant Cleaner With Bleach Spray (32 Fl.

Read the product label to ensure that the disinfectant is safe to use on the surface of your sink. To play it on the safe side, you may also want to test it on a small area of your sink before full application.<\/p>\n<p>For a disinfectant to work its magic, you\u2019ll typically want to leave it on for a specific amount of time before wiping it off, which can range up to 30 minutes\u2014the product label should indicate this. Tetro says that this is the most important factor when using a disinfectant. Unfortunately, \u201csometimes people don\u2019t do that,\u201d he says. \u201cThere have been studies that basically look at how people [disinfect] and many leave it on for just 10 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to keep in mind is that you\u2019ll always want to clean a dirty sink (or any surface, for that matter) before disinfecting it. \u201cIf it\u2019s visibly dirty, you should clean with soap and water first, make sure it\u2019s dry, and then using the disinfecting agent,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/apic.org\/about-apic\/leadership\/karen-hoffmann\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/apic.org\/about-apic\/leadership\/karen-hoffmann\/\">Karen Hoffman, RN<\/a>, immediate past president of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/difference-between-cleaning-and-disinfecting\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/difference-between-cleaning-and-disinfecting\/\">told Well+Good<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After you clean the kitchen sink, \u201cyou take your disinfectant, you spray it in there, you leave it for three or five minutes, or whatever the label tells you to do, and then you rinse it,\u201d says Tetro.

However, he adds, you\u2019ll want to disinfect your sink immediately after handling raw meat, particularly chicken.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is: Cleaning your kitchen sink isn\u2019t always enough, you\u2019ll also want to ensure that you\u2019re regularly disinfecting it.
