Okay, I've never made any claims to being a domestic diva. My house is sort of tidy and sort of clean most of the time. Today I have had two revelations about cleaning and cleanliness in general.
1. Your kitchen always looks cleaner when the sink is sparkling. It is worth the 5 -10 minutes of effort to get out the cleaner and rag and scrub down the chrome. My new resolution is to do this at least once a week. I know no one else in my house will notice or care, but I will have a secret sense of satisfaction every time I turn on the water (about a 100 times a day), and that's a good thing.
2. Self cleaning ovens are AMAZING! I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that this is the first time I have cleaned the oven in this house in the 15 months we have lived here; and in fact I have only ever cleaned an oven when we have moved out of an apartment or sold our house. Terrible I know, I should be ashamed. But that is all going to change now that I realize what a wonder these self cleaning models are. Whoever invented them deserves 10 gold stars, seriously. I will never be the same again. No more weeks of dread prior to oven cleaning time. (Is the fact that I really hate cleaning ovens coming through?) No leaving baked on gunk to smoke every time the oven is on because I can't bear to get out the stinky and toxic oven cleaner. I am a changed woman, and that is also a good thing.

Shiny sinks and clean ovens - hooray! I, too, neglect these two items of kitchen business far too often, but you've inspired me to pay more attention to them.:)
I'm even more ashamed. The self clean oven feature has yet to be tried and the stove has been here for two years. Oven doesn't smoke anymore tho'. All burned off.
I am with you, I should keep my sink shiny and maybe then I would feel that my house would be cleaner
