Washed Dishes In Left Sink For The First Time (Pretty Sure)
-
You have 2 sinks? What for?
To rest my legs in whilst bathing.

You have 2 sinks? What for?
You fill one with water and washing-up liquid to clean the dishes and use the other one to rinse them off.
-
My right sink was briefly occupied and my ocd was twitching, so I switched things up and used the left sink.
I feel like a rebel - almost a gadabout.
I'm still a bit anxious about it, but there's definitely a 'spring' in my step. -
Which side has your garbage disposal? You may want to avoid using the side without the disposal for washing so you don’t accidentally wash down large food waste that will clog your drain.
Why do you assume there is one?

The most efficient way, it's really fast when done in a family, with many hands to help.

Those things are great; a daughter introduced them to me a while back and I pooh-poohed them at first. Now I swear by them.

I have that exact same soap, both hand and dish

Ya...never had one in about 10 homes in my lifetime. They've always piqued my interest, though.
Nowadays I compost most scraps - gotta be careful bc we have racoons, skunks, fishers, lots of critters but mostly bc bears, and 'tis the season. -

Ya, wtf ever happened to green Palmolive? It used to rule, now it totally blows! Then again, in Canada, Dawn was a tough find until maybe 8 or so years ago, But it's the best.

Garbage disposal? in sinks? What's that?

-
Why do you assume there is one?
Every place I’ve ever lived has always had a garbage disposal. This is definitely more common in the US, particularly in urban areas so I recognize that not everyone may have one. However, this sink looks exactly like my current kitchen sink so I subconsciously assumed there would be one.
-
How do you keep that spring clean?
tbh, it's more cosmetic than functional, and actually requires little 'cleaning'.
Perhaps every 6 weeks or so I'll give the fixture a 'scrub' with baking soda, or a diluted soft-scrub Barkeepers Friend. -

Garbage disposals are motorized shredders that fit into the drain on a kitchen sink. It allows you to grind any waist that falls into the . While the benefits of composting definitely outweigh the potential benefits of grinding all your food waste, I still think there is benefit in having a garbage disposal. Some food waste will inevitably fall through to the drain and can cause buildup in the drain pipe, which will result in costly repairs at some point.

I had never heard of it.

Nowadays I compost most scraps - gotta be careful bc we have racoons, skunks, fishers, lots of critters but mostly bc bears, and 'tis the season.Interesting to hear that you’ve never owned a garbage disposal. It’s quite the opposite for me. I’ve never lived anywhere without a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink however, I’ve always used the garbage disposal as more of a preventive tool. Composting kitchen scraps (or feeding my chickens kitchen scraps) has always been my preferred method of organic waste disposal. I’ve been raised, and I’ve raised my children to use the garbage disposal to grind food waste that is not suitable for composting, and would otherwise simply fill my bin with methane and other unpleasant decomposition by products. For example, we feed our dogs boiled chicken. Inevitably, some of the pieces of chicken get stuck to the bottom of the pot and have to be scraped off while washing. I wouldn’t feed my chickens anything with soap on it nor would I compost this as the soap may have a detrimental effect on the microbes that are breaking down my compost.
