Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
This is so fascinating!
I love mine. The scratches come right off for me.

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
In high school we had a cream stone sink, no one but me ever scrubbed (my Mom did a few times a year I guess when it was a holiday) it but it came clean pretty easily. I am nervous about cast iron with the chipping issue. I cook a ton, we use stainless steel pots and pans.
I think I will need to research. Too bad they don't sell sinks in Amazon. I read the reviews on there for everything, even if I buy it locally.

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
White sinks are terrible. Never look clean. They scratch easily and show marks. My favorite kitchen sink was black granite/composite. Looked so nice and even after several years cleaned up perfect with no scratches or chips or marks.

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
I hate enamel sinks. But my white sink is some kind of solid material, and it cleans up perfectly, couldn't chip or flake (unless I dropped a boulder in there or something), and looks bright and clean. I drink coffee, cook a ton, but can't use cast iron at this house because the type of stove I have isn't compatible.
I'd rather have something I can see the dirt on and know to clean it than something that "hides" it, and a dark sink just seems very odd to me. I would go with stainless steel (I like the modern designs with stainless) over a dark material, and probably choose the same kind of white I have if I had the option. I don't use bleach because I'm on a septic, and clean my sink with either dish soap and a scrub brush (for quick cleaning) or Bon Ami for deeper scrubbing. |

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
I love white sinks. We're replacing our sink & counters at some point and I will get a huge white sink. There are different grades/quality. The cheap ones will scratch & stain much sooner than the better ones. You can put a special mat or rack in the sink to prevent scratching, too.
My current sink is dark charcoal and it always looks dirty. It shows every hard water spot and just generally looks icky even when I've just cleaned it. ---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ---------- Quote:
I am going to get an undermount sink. I want Quartz counters but we may go with white Corian, probably getting a Corian sink either way. |

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
That's a good point. Mine was expensive.
I really think coffee would be hard on a sink though. The carpet guy told me coffee was the hardest to get out of carpet. Both grandmas drink coffee on my carpet and leave the cup on floor while playing with the kids.

Re: Do You Have a White Sink? I need some feedback
I have a white sink. I do not love it for all the reasons everyone mentioned. Except it hasn't flaked.
Our previous home had stainless steel. I liked that much better in the long run. If I got a new sink I might do something different though.

We have a white sink, and I don't love it.
