I use a pail of warm water with dish detergent and vinegar, and I wipe
it on with a sponge or rag, then a squeegee and a micorfibre clothe.

Naturally if one changes to a larger sink that's a different scenerio,
however changing from a double to a single doesn't mean larger as the
opening sizes are standard. I never liked double sinks as the
individual sink areas are too small. In fact when I changed the
double to a single I bought an over size sink, two inches deeper and
was also two inches wider as an oversize sink is not a standard size.
But cutting out the opening one inch on each side entailed no extra
cabinetry alterations. I didn't really need to change the faucet but
I wanted one that was higher and with a spray hose combo. The only
alteration was the waste line, I had to change the double drain to a
single. was very simple and inexpensive, cost like $15 for the kit.
Only the oversize sink and the faucet were expensive but that was my
choice to buy top of the line qualitywise.

Right, it's not smart to mix other chemicals with ammonia... never
with bleach! For cleaning burnt on schmutz with ammonia place the
item in a heavy plastic bag and add a small quantity of household
ammonia, seal the bag and do this outdoors. It's the ammonia fumes
that do the cleaning. Do not use ammonia on aluminum.

I use this same 50/50 mixture to wipe off the range hood. A hot soapy
dishcloth just wasn't thoroughly cleaning it. A couple of spritzes of
the glass/ammonia cleaner and it's sparkling clean. No sticky or greasy
residue and I can save that elbow grease for other chores.

You can replace a double bowl sink with a single without an entire
kitchen remodel.

I just remodeled my kitchen and went with one of these. Single sink 9"
deep - the "Palma".

Theoretically, yes.
I see you remodeled your kitchen, not just replaced the sink. There is a
reason for that and most people would do the same if the kitchen is more
than abot 20 years.

I have a double sink it has one big sink and one small sink. It has the sink molded into the counter. I suppose the sink would have to be cut out if it had to be replaced. That would be wild.

I don't know how I'd handle a large single sink. That's an interesting concept though.

What's to handle... I removed a double sink and installed an oversize
single kitchen sink... the few times I need a smaller sink I have a
plastic dish pan.
I love this over sized extra deep SS sink... required no modifications
other than changing the drain from a double to a single, a $15 kit...
and saber sawing the counter opening 2" wider. If I didn't want the
over sized sink there would have been no sawing. This over sized sink

I can remove a SS sink. That's not a problem. My sink is different.

Easier on the back!

Here's a real "gasp" for all of you. I actually hand washed cloth
diapers in the kitchen sink each night for over a year. That's
even worse than Sheldon's cats on kitchen counter or my ferrets.

What can be different... it's metric... still the openings are
standard. If yours is rimless simply drop in another rimless.

Shock horror. I spent seven YEARS emptying the nappy sterilizer
bucket into the sink, then wringing out the nappies to put them in the
washing machine.

Either way you couldn't have gotten the diapers *really* clean, just

After sink washing they were laundered in a wahing machine... I wasn't
going to toss crap filled diapers in the washing machine. After a
while someone with a passle of kids showed me to rinse dirty diapers
in the toilet. After a month I sprung for diaper service... $10/wk
was a bargain. Back then disposables had just come out and
were very expensive.

I think they are assuming you didn't remove the 'solids' first before
putting the nappies in the sterilizer like any sane person would.

No, I was assuming that the diapers had been emptied, but she was dumping
the water before removing the diapers, if she wants to use her sink as a
toilet, I don't have a problem with it.

Also a nice stainless grid with rubber feet helps tremendously.
