Top Tips to kitchen sink maintenance:

1: inspect for any water damage

Check the plumbing. Time to get down and take a look under the kitchen sink. Grab a flashlight and start looking for any signs of water leaks. Check all the pipes and fittings for water. Look at the floor for any signs of water damage or mold. If you see any leaks, call a professional plumber.

2: Strainer, got one?

If you don’t have a garbage disposal, use a mesh sink strainer in the drain to catch any food and dispose of it in the trash.

Note: It's a good idea to keep a strainer on all drains.

3: Take care of your garbage disposal

4: these should not go down the drain

Dispose of food properly. Don’t put:
- grease,
- coffee grounds,
- animal or fish bones,
- eggshells
- or fibrous food (potato skins, banana peels)

None of these things should go down the kitchen sink, even if you have a garbage disposal.
