Some experienced housewives and owners go for one strange, but at the same time quite effective trick - they put a plastic bag on the kitchen faucet. Surely, many are already wondering why this should be done at all and how a package for a few kopecks can help in kitchen matters.
The recommendation is extremely simple. We take an ordinary transparent plastic bag, we sell these in rolls for several tens of rubles. It only takes one single one. On the one hand, we make a neat cut about half the length of the seam. Ordinary scissors will help in this matter. Now it remains only to put the bag through the slot made on the tap so that the cellophane closes the valves.
What is it for? In fact, everything is extremely simple. This is necessary so that greasy and dirty hands do not stain the tap during cooking. The fact is that many people, when working with the same meat, because of their greasy hands, turn on the water and do not turn it off throughout the entire moment of work. As a result - additional expenses due to increased water consumption.
In addition, there will no longer be greasy marks on the valves, which can cause mold formation, if timely wet cleaning is not carried out. Mold that starts from the sink can gradually spread throughout the kitchen. It will be very difficult to withdraw it later.
Separately, it should be added that it is much better and easier to solve this issue once and for all with a "global approach", namely, to install a switch on the mixer with a lever, and not with valves. The lever gets dirty much less, and it is more convenient to use it. And it is still always necessary to periodically wash the plumbing units.
