“Are you nervous to live with a white sink?” “How do you plan on keeping it clean?” “Would you still choose a white sink, knowing what you know now?!”
These are all valid questions and ones that ran through my head at some point or another. Today I’m going to answer all of these questions in hopes to bring a little clarity to others who may be interested in someday transitioning to a white sink, but are nervous to take the plunge because of these thoughts.
Were You Nervous to Choose A White Kitchen Sink?
In short — No! To be perfectly honest, I never once felt nervous or intimidated about choosing a white sink for our kitchen. I actually grew up with a white sink so to me, choosing a white sink didn’t feel like a “risk” by any stretch.
Yes, my mom is a very clean person (and a master cleaner!) but she has never had a problem keeping this white sink looking extra clean. And that says a lot because the one in my childhood home is now over 20 years old and still looks gorgeous!
How Do You Like Your White Farmhouse Sink So Far?
How Do You Keep Your White Sink Clean?
Is it crazy to say that I don’t necessarily notice my white sink getting any extra “dirty” compared to my old, stainless steel sink? Yes, you can definitely notice “splash” marks of food stains in the sink when you rinse a plate, pour extra coffee down the drain, or just do normal kitchen duties. But all of these splash marks have immediately gone away once I rinse the sink out with our pull-down faucet, which usually happens right away.
Just like the name implies, this scrub brush magically erases just about any stain around our home. If I see a scuff on the floor, baseboard, stain on the wall, or just need a little something extra (like getting a price tag sticker off something), I always turn to the magic eraser. This go-to cleaning rule applies to our sink as well.
I wet this magic eraser and give the sink a good scrub every week. This has seemed to keep the sink free of stains, discoloration, or even soap build-up. Once I’m done, I let the eraser dry out and put it right back under the sink until I need it again.What Else Can I Use To Keep My White Sink Clean?
Would You Still Choose A White Sink Knowing What You Know Now?
Absolutely. I personally love the look of a white sink and haven’t experienced any true negatives yet. But even if I do, I’d like to think that it’s okay because EVERY sink finish has its quirks. I guess it’s just making a choice to live with these quirks that will determine what finish is best for your future kitchen sink.
