Well, I can deal with brushing in the sink, and if u find that disgusting, how about when your roommate in school has to actually cough and it's in the sink. I mean the thick Phlegm stuck on the sink, and low and behold you come in only to see that. Now I think that's more disgusting. As for the person who said about white folks, those folks are really disgusting. God gave me grace to endure for the two years of room sharing in college with them dirty guys, that I did not hurt someone was a miracle. |

There's germs everywhere. Did you not wash chicken in there? No germs in your friends mouth can be as dangerous to humans as salmonella. Even the so called toilet. When you flush, do you know how much fecal matter flies out of the toilet? And lands on the toothbrush you put in your mouth? As long as the sink is washed afterwards, I don't see the big deal. After all, whatever enters that sink later, will it not be washed with soap? Will the food not be cooked (thus killing any harmful microbes that your friend might have unleashed in there?) |

Man_51ut: Comrade, you're not comprehending, one bit. We're talking about germs we have control over, you're talking about what splashes out of the toilet each time you flush. Where's the correlation here? |

manny4life: By your own admission, you found it disgusting, though you're kind of contradicting yourself. But given the choice at home, you wouldn't brush your teeth in the kitchen sink, that much I can deduce from the highlighted parts of your above statement. The thread title's quite clear - "How Hygienic Is Brushing Your Teeth In The Kitchen Sink?" We're not talking about school, we're talking about your own personal space. The fact some animal in school decides to spit phlegm into the sink at school (I presume it's not the kitchen sink, but the hostel one) shouldn't blind one to the obvious, that leaving your plaque, tartar, blood and gum tissue in the kitchen sink is a revolting habit. With many advocating the habit of brushing teeth in the kitchen sink, it's no wonder people in Nigeria suffer all manner of bugs, sometimes fatal. Hygiene plays a greater role in longevity than people think. |

@ Yield: its not an excuse its the truth. Only one bathroom, ure late for school or work, would you rather not brush or brush in the kitchen sink ? I've seen people urinate in the bathroom sink, I've seen people wash their feet in the bathroom sink, so I'm not sure what's particularly hyginenic about brushing in the bathroom sink over the kitchen sink, |

obowunmi: Comrade, your post is far from clear. |

I think my post is perfectly clear. If you are going to freak out over germs, it doesn't matter whether you can control them or not, they are still germs. The fact remains that if you can put a raw chicken in the sink then a little spit or phlegm isn't the end of the world. I can see the point about it being gross, and I can't say I have ever done it myself, but you guys are reacting like it is akin to eating shyte or something. |

very common among college students. When I was in college, my roommate does it. The day I caught her, I was so mad and she gave excuse that it was not a problem. I said no, don’t wash your mouth in the sink. I do my dishes in there. She was upset and text her parents  . Her parents drove down. I left the school apartment for class with a note by the door “hey stop brushing your teeth in the sink, you are not the only one living here, consider your roomies” Another time I caught her using dish sponge to clean her sneaker. This girl go fit make person go ballistic! From that day, I stop sharing everything with her and glued a note to my bin ‘’for personal use only’’ I visited a friend and she was washing her baby in the kitchen sink! What the hell? anytime i want to do my dishes, i first boil a full kettle and pot of water cuz i don't trust her. if you are too lazy to share apartment, stay in the dorms  |

so wait, let me get this straight. are you not using soap to wash your dishes? why do you think you are doing that? soap contains disinfectants that kills most germs. now you are freaking out over a baby. you should be thanking God that the mother thought your sink clean enough to wash her baby in. after all, babies are more susceptible to germs. the amount of disinfectant the baby is using, your sink was probably cleaner after she used it than it ever had been. |

I do it once in a while (ie if bathroom is occupied). nothing wrong with it. just make sure to wash all the dishes in the sink first. and then clean up your mess (toothpaste remnants etc) afterward. otherwise, it's disgusting  |

i dont think there's any justifiable reason why one should brush in the kitchen sink . it absolutely gross. there's a reason why the bathroom sink (or wash hand basin as some would call it)is situated in the bathroom,and the ktchen sink in the kitchen. WHAT EVER IS IN THE BATHROOM IS USED IN CLEANING THE PARTS OF YOUR BODY INCLUDING YOUR TEETH. THE KITCHEN SINK IS FOR FOOD PREPARATION & CLEANING KITCHEN UTENSILS AND CUTLERIES. UGHHH , JESUS CHRIST! |

Man_51ut: I doubt you have a toddler yourself. Otherwise, you'd know you don't bathe a baby with disinfectant. Unless you're looking to damage its skin, or worse. And just so you know, regular washing up soap seldom contains anti-bacteria agents. |
| Re: How Hygienic Is Brushing In The Kitchen Sink? by armyofone(m): 2:52pm On Sep 26, 2011 |
yes, i was using dishsoap to wash. but it repulsed me to know you just washed your stinking mouth there, eww i taught that girl a lesson. you can do that when you live alone but not when i share the space with you. for the lady bathing her baby in the sink, it's her home but i was just shocked  yes so freaked out, you should have seen the sweat all over me Man_51ut:kai, you are something else |

Dettol might be a bit harsh for baby skin. How old is the baby? |

Kinda funny that everyone who says that it's gross either doesn't give a reason behind why they think it's gross, or the reason they give is because of germs. Do you not realize that you literally put silverware in your mouth and you touch your mouth to cups, how is it different if you wash the spit down the drain? When you clean dishes, you should clean the sink every time after anyways or else it's actually worse than your toothpaste! Old food is def worse than old food mixed with toothpaste. Toothpaste at least kills germs as well. Also noteworthy that most who say it's gross have kind of a bad attitude? Like how many friends can you keep while being so easily grossed out and offended? |
