Eminent-Kitchen-Sinks Provides Thanksgiving Tips For Preparing and Cleaning up the Big Feast

Newly-launched website offers unique learning experience to all things "kitchen sink."

Des Moines, IA (PRWEB) November 17, 2008 -- Ask Cedric Crumbley to recall a Thanksgiving story in his house and he quickly spins the tail of how he stained his mother's sink on Thanksgiving with the turkey. To take excellent care of a kitchen sink, one doesn't pour grease down the drain. Well, it appears turkey doesn't do to well on a porcelain model either. For the owner of eminent-kitchen-sinks.com, a website solely dedicated to the importance of selecting and caring for the main focal point of any kitchen, his Thanksgiving experience made him realize that even though many take care when carving the bird, they don't necessarily think about what kind of reaction the bird's juices can have on the sink's surface.

I wanted to go deeper. What is it about the kitchen sink that makes it the focal point of the room? A lot of people want to install their own sinks but think about what a sink does for your own home.

The kitchen sink is where family decisions are made

Have you ever noticed that people will lean over the kitchen sink when making a point, using it like a stage or a podium? Everyone turns around and listens to the person leaning on the kitchen sink. That's why it's important that this kitchen necessity is kept in top condition. And of course, keeping it clean helps stave off bacteria and other surface born germs too.

Crumbley noted that the kitchen sink is typically one of the first things a woman is going to look at when buying a house so having one's sink up to par and looking good is important.

"The kitchen sink is where family decisions are made," he said. "Have you ever noticed that people will lean over the kitchen sink when making a point, using it like a stage or a podium?

And of course, keeping it clean helps stave off bacteria and other surface born germs too."

Keeping It Clean When There's a Big Dinner

For the holidays, Crumbley suggested understanding what type of kitchen sink one has, and then knowing the proper way to clean and take care of it. Stainless steel sinks should be rinsed after every use. Acid and salt can damage the finish of these types of sinks so don't leave food residue on them for long. An all purpose cleaner can be used and for tough spots, try removing them with a clean cloth and vinegar or sprinkle baking soda on the stain.

Cast iron sinks should be cleaned with a rinse after every use or clean with baking soda for an overall strong clean. Steer clear of harsh abrasive sponges, which can damage the cast iron. Use a gel or cream cleaner on ceramic sinks so as not to scratch the enamel. And to make faucets and handles shine, a simple mixture of soap and water or white vinegar should do the trick.

Crumbley also suggested cleaning up as soon as one can after serving and having the meal. Leftover food will start to stain surfaces quickly and also will attract bacteria.
