  • Kitchen sink

    I'm having visitors so I am having to clean the house. I am wondering
    if I can put the the drainer plug for the kitchen sink into the
    dishwasher?

    Don't see why not. Even if it's dirty and got "germs" on it, the high tempeature eg 70 deg C and the large amount of water should both get it
    clean and avoid contaminating anything else.

    I thought that. It has a 'rubber' seal but I assume this is designed
    for boiling water. I suppose if I'm concerned I could douse it with
    boiling water first.

    Is the chain long enough to reach?

    (OK. It's fine.)

    Will the chain be long enough?

    As it happens I was once told by someone who did reports on the hygiene of premises like
    hotels that turning the washbasin plug over and seeing how clean it was on
    the underside was an indication of how detailed the cleaning regime is, of course many basins you now cannot as they have those lever or knob worked ones. Unfortunately they are often poorly maintained and are broken or
    donrCOt seal well.
