Do you and or your family wash their hands in the kitchen sink or is that what the restroom sink is for? Does it not matter either way?

Ewww! No if I just used the bathroom of course I use the sink in the bathroom, but for all other hand washing I tend to use the kitchen sink. However growing up my Mom hated when we washed our hands in the kitchen sink, why I'm not sure. I'm going to ask her tonight.

I thought, and call me stupid, that everyone was saying go to the bathroom and then go to the kitchen sink to wash their hands LMAO. Am I right?

I use the kitchen sink more than I use the bathroom sink, unless of course I just took a dump!

I can see cross contamination if you just took a dump, stay in the bathroom and wash. But if I go out to the store, I always wash my hands before putting the groceries away....in the kitchen sink.

I don't see the difference either Marina. My mom however does. I'll have to ask her why. Believe it or not I've never asked her before.

A sink is a sink. Not really sure why you would not wash your hands in the kitchen sink and only use the bathroom. As long as you are using soap, and clean your sinks regularly I don't see the difference.

I'm up at my MIL's and I had to change a diaper. I used the kitchen sink even though the bathroom one was approximately the same distance. I had to toss Lilli's diaper too and I didn't think that was bathroom trash.

Whichever is closer. My son only uses the bathroom sink unless someone lifts him up though cuz his stool is in the bathroom.

I use the bathroom sink when I am closest to the bathroom, and the kitchen sink when closest to the kitchen. I have hand soap in both locations, so it's not a big deal to me either way. As long as the family is washing their hands, I'm down with that!

When I go to the bathroom I was my hands there so I don't cross contaminate. Same with the kitchen.

We wash our hands at which ever sink is closest. If the DH or I are making dinner, we wash in the kitchen sink. But if someone just emptied the litter box we use the bathroom sink.

A sink is a sink. There's hand soap available at every sink. The kids mostly use the bathroom sink because they're still too short even with the stools but they can choose to wash their hands in any sink.

A sink is a sink. Wherever I happen to be. I do have soap for dishes and soap for hands in the kitchen.

Makes sense. I tend to use whichever is closer to whatever it is that I've been doing that then requires a hand washing. Although growing up my parents did not allow us to wash our hands in the kitchen sink, my Mom always told us that's what the bathroon sink is for...whatever.

We use the kitchen sink to wash hands before cooking food. I almost always clean the sink real good before cooking (and counters) and then wash my hands there and start cooking.
The kids use the bathroom sink always because it is lower and easier for them to use.
I wash my hands in the bathroom after cleaning the litter pan, helping a child in there, using the toilet, cleaning the bathroom.... etc.
