That's what I always did when I had a SS sink, Patches. Personally, except
for cookware, I wouldn't have SS in my kitchen if it were given to me.
It's nothing but a royal PITA. I have to admit that I'm more than a little
anal retentive when it comes to keeping the kitchen and it's appliances
looking spotless, but I sure wouldn't have the energy it would take to do
that with SS.
