3 Good Reasons to Shop for a Double Bowl Sink Instead of a Single Sink
In most modern homes in South Africa, you will find that the kitchen contains a double bowl sink. There are many reasons for this. Because kitchens are considered to be one of the most functional rooms in the home, they also have to be geared towards multitasking and performing a variety of food preparation stages at once, while still providing the option to wash objects at the same time.
One of the best ways to achieve this is to shop for a double bowl sink, instead of choosing a single sink. Even in smaller developments and homes, a double bowl sink brings extra benefits and convenience.
- Hygienic Rinsing: Washing dishes is something nobody really enjoys, and as more and more dishes are washed, the water becomes dirty. This means that the sink needs to be emptied and refilled with cleaner water throughout the process, especially if there are a lot of dishes to clean.
If you shop for a double bowl sink instead of a single, you can wash dishes in one sink and fill the other with clean water, so you can rinse off the clean dishes coming out of the dishwater. As a result, your dishes, crockery, cutlery, and other objects will be cleaner, and free from the bacteria in the dirty dishwater.
- Stacking Power: While cooking, it is often needed to stack dirty items and still have free space to rinse other objects, such as vegetables. If you shop for a double bowl sink instead of a single sink, you can store or rinse your dirty items in the one sink, while still having the other one free for cleaning vegetables or other objects. Another sink also provides more space where you can soak certain objects, such as dirty frying pans, in order to make it easier to clean later.
- Drip Dry Dishes: It is not commonly known, but the best way to dry your cutlery and crockery is by allowing them to dry naturally. Dish cloths tend to contain bacteria that stick to the food particles in the fabric, even if the dishcloths have been washed thoroughly. Setting up a dry rack in your double bowl sink provides space for them to drip dry.
