Pet Peeve #1: The dirty strainer basket

Nothing (for right now) annoys me more than food particles left in my sink's strainer basket. If you're going to help with the dishes, please finish the job by emptying and washing these hard working vessles. While you're at it, wash and dry the entire sink, as spots on stainless steel serve as pet peeve #2.

Tip: Once a month, boil a pot of water and run it down the sink followed by some bleach. If you have a garbage disposer, salt and lemon juice will also work.

In the once-a-month drain tip, what does the bleach do after you pour the boiling water down? I have a trick for quickening a sink's drainability: pour 1/4 cup baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup white vinegar. Once the foaming subsides, pour a pot of boiling water down and the drain will be much clearer. That is my one and only household tip. Does the bleach in your tip create the same result as the baking soda/vinegar?
