Are all the sinks connected to a drain directly, or do they drain into
a floor drain? If connected directly to a sewer line, you also might
want to consider the sewer gasses and germs that belch out of the
drain when water enters the drain. Similar to the "aerosal effect" of
flushing a toilet. The sink may be super clean, but the stuff that
lives in the pipes is not.
