About Sinks

Cris O asked:


We have a normal porcelain kitchen sink. On that part between the double sinks, there has been some wear, such that some of the paint is rubbed off. Also, one of my kids went through this stage a few months ago of painting a whole lot with acrylic paint, and when he rinsed off his palette in the kitchen sink, he left a small spot now and again. It’s not that I didn’t notice this was happening - I did. But I thought that acetone would remove it. It didn’t. Neither do any of the scrubs or bleach. So now there are many many many small spots that are anywhere from very tiny to the size of a single drop. I could probably scrape them off, but that would remove the paint, too. My husband said that he does not think there is a way to repaint a porcelain sink w/o having it look like one of those unprofessional home repairs. Is there anything I can do about this?

I don’t have room for much cabinet space and I’ve chosen a design that takes the kitchen sink about six inches off center. Do I chose the centered sink or the cabinet space?

Karin asked:


I recently moved into an apartment, and the drain in my kitchen sink smells. I remember hearing once that putting something down the drain and running the garbage disposal helps the smell go away, but I can’t think of what that something is. I’d be very thankful if anyone can help me clear out this smell before it gets worse.

I am moving into a house that has an older kitchen sink and I am thinking about replacing it at some point. What is involved?
