Self Cleaning Sinks? Almost.
Two important people in my life are renovating their kitchens. One has an intact kitchen that is perfectly fine. They just want to update. The second has their kitchen totally demolished and is starting from scratch. In fact, there is nowhere to cook, unless you want to somehow get the bathroom sink water very hot or cook on the grill. They are both exploring the idea of granite countertops, but were a little surprised there is such things as Granite Sinks.
It was hard for me to get my head around that one, as I pictured it being something awfully hard. Actually, they are a composite, and they also have bonded silver ions throughout the material that make the sink virtually antibacterial (99.9%). too bad they don’t also clean themselves. They come in neutral colors, not the marbled looking pattern you would imagine. The first thing I thought of when I heard that they were almost totally antibacterial was a memory of my childhood. My mother would blow a fuse if she saw me touching raw chicken that was thawing in the sink. It was like a siren went off and people in white Hazmat suits started filing into the kitchen. Of course, the sink is no substitute for food safety, but it sure may make a difference.
The other practical idea was the idea of bathing small dogs. The kitchen sink is so perfect for the little dogs, especially if the divider between the sinks is somewhat low slung. You could put the front legs on each side. Of course, I don’t do this anymore for sanitary reasons, but if I had a TruGranite sink, I sure would be able to without much flap. Since it is extremely scratch resistant, little nails form excited feet won’t leave dings in the surface. I can’t wait to try it.
