    Talking Shined my sink tonight...

    Oh and it looks great! I was really suprised what a brillo pad can do! Can't imagine how it's going to look after I do it every night like FlyLady says.

    way to go. I really like her emphasis on a clean sink, it's one of the germiest places in the kitchen, and keeping it sparkly is a plus. You go girl!

    Great job Wendy!

    I like to use pure white vinegar and baking soda and a dish cloth. Does wonders and deodorizes! Building it into your daily routine keeps it shining!

    I tried shining my sink a couple of weekends ago. I did the whole process, and the sink looked beautiful for about an hour. Then, I had an emergency with a baby goat and ended up having to use that same sink as a bath, to submerge the baby and get its core temperature back up. (Momma goat decided to have her babies in the middle of a rainstorm and left them laying in about two inches of ice water.) Baby survived, but the sink was full of dirt and hay and baby "scum" afterward. I cleaned it, but didnt do the whole "shine" thing again. Oh well, at least it was as close to sterile as possible when the baby emergency hit!!

    I may try to shine it again, but I think I'll wait until I'm sure the rest of my goats are done having babies!! (Three right now - think we're done!!)
