Shiny Sink Syndrome
Ok, so lets give our Flyladied sinks (I think all of us have had a Flylady spell at one time in our lives haven’t we??), the
* Start by stripping everything off the sink, the draining board, the widow ledge and the area around the sink…
* Then pull on your rubber gloves and get ready to scrub!
* Boil the kettle and then pour the hot water around the sink and down the drain: Mix together baking soda, white vinegar and lemon juice and scrub with a steel wool pad (more eco friendly than other
scrubbing pads and twice as effective!) over the whole sink and draining board area.
* Then pour half a cup of salt and half a cup of baking soda down the sink: leave for a few moments, then let the hot tap run for a while.
* Now dry the sink and draining board, and pour a little bit of vegetable/olive/baby oil onto a rag and use it to polish your sink to a shine.

and a rolled up dishcloth or two.
* Display alongside a pretty china soap dish or two (plain cream/white china is most elegant): use one for hand soap, and another for your current scrubbing pad…
* Decant hand lotion into a small glass bottle. Pot your favorite scented kitchen herb on the window ledge, add a couple of lemons (great for deodorising your wooden cutting boards and brushes) to use in conjunction with your baking soda and a pretty little pile of well pressed teatowels…
* Hang a peg from ribbon on the drawer underneath your sink and choose you favorite
