    No not really. There’s pretty much zero maintenance on stainless steel sinks. Once in a blue moon you can wash down the sinks while doing dishes but it really happens less than you think.

      To be fair I do have to wipe my sinks more often, only because we have rather hard water in this area. The scale builds up quickly.

        Same here, I deep clean it, then as soon as I open the water for a split second, it’s all white again

          I’ve resorted, about a year or so ago, to using large bottles of natural spring water for the kettle (when making tea/coffee).
          It’s an extra expense, however the lack of scaling has been lovely. Not had to clean my kettle once.

          My sink is another story though.

            Brita filters are cheaper per litre (you can do more than 100l per filter if it’s for a kettle) and create less waste. Personally I only change the filter when I notice residue in the kettle and it’s been so long I have to clean out the jug with citric acid so I clean the kettle at the same time.

        Ok so that takes you what an extra 30-90 seconds like once or twice a month? That’s negligible. The other person Almost made it sound like he had to spend hours because of extra basin.

          Yeah pretty much. It’s not a big issue though one which could become compounded into one if there is any slack with the cleaning times.
