I used the "soap dispenser" hole for a hot water tap but chose a sink with that hole as far to the edge as possible to prevent the dispenser from getting in the way of sheet pans. The thicker it is the better it will resist dents and will also reduce the "ringing bell" effect as well. This is as equally important as the type of stainless used. Get the thickest gauge you can possibly afford. Use silicon to create a practically invisible bevel between the countertop and top edge of the sink lip and you can treat it like it's an undermount. But now they have flat lips that's the thickness of the metal gauge and that's it. However for the longest time all top mounts had a massive ridge around the edge of the sink prevent you from sweeping debris or liquid directly into it. I use my sink to prep veggies and foodstuffs so not being able to clean that out is just gross. I've never been a fan of the gap between the under-counter and sink lip that always get Nasty so this was an easy decision. Of course full of dishes and water at the time. I prefer top mount as I know 2 people that have had undermounts dismount with catastrophic effects. I would suggest that you try to pick with a somewhat typical sink shape, and not something too unique if it’s going to be under mounted, meaning that it’s underneath the countertop, because that would mean a very special sort of cut out, and trying to match that in the future would be a real challenge. We compromised when she saw that there was a company that made a mid rise two bowl sink for the kitchen and that’s what we went with. My wife for example liked the idea of having one of those single bowl type of sinks but when she thought long and hard about it she realized that she uses two separate bowls in the sink one for washing and one for rinsing, so while she like the idea she needed them to be separate. Something that is popular now like I think they are called apron farm sinks, where the sink pokes out from the countertop in the front and overhangs part of the cabinet, may be popular now but might not be all that popular in a few years.Īlso there are single bowls and multi bowl thanks, sometimes the separators for those multiple bowls go up to the height of the sink bowl, or sometimes they only go up partway. He also warned me I would have to do it weekly until I notice one day that it doesn't look like it needs a treatment then I can continue as needed.I don’t know brands per se, but I would tell you to pay very close attention to the style of sink that you get. The repairman gave me the same advice you gave me except to use a clean soft microfiber cloth instead of a sponge. It's scratched and I'm sure it has no finish on it.Ģ weeks ago, I told her I was going on vacation but actually I wanted to see what was damaged and get some estimates on repairs. Anyway, you can imagine the state of my black sink. I discovered this when I got out the machine and turned it on. I'm surprise she has killed herself and the dogs. That is what she is putting into my upright steamer mopping machine. She has begun washing the floors with a bleach and water mixture. I use Wheeler's Furniture Cream once every 6 weeks. She apparently has been doing that with dining and living wooden furnishing because they are in a terrible state. The protective surface became sticky so she scrubbed it and it rolled right off in places. She washed it with a scubby sponge and bleach straight from the bottle. It took me nearly 2 hours to clean one patio double door. By using vinegar she caused every mirror, window, and other classes to cloud over. I use Spado once a year on all glass surfaces in my house and car. I asked why when I had told her to simply wipe them down with a dry microfiber cloth. Then a couple of months ago I asked her what she was cleaning the big backyard windows with. She was able to rent a small apartment and have her 3 children, all under 10 years old, legally immigrate. It's still a temporary position but it looks encouraging for her. About 4 months ago she began working 30 hours a week for the local hospital. I keep those scrubby sponges out in the garage because they are great for cleans pots after I've removed the bulbs for wintering. I hired her a year ago and told her then to not clean any surface in my house with anything other than the products I give to her. I'm going to translate it for my Moroccan housekeeper.
