Kitchen Work Center Essentials
The sink is the centerpiece of kitchen cleanup. The other primary components are the garbage disposal and dishwasher. The dishwasher should be next to the sink to minimize drips on the floor. It should be to the left of the sink if the main cook is right-handed, and to the right if that person is left-handed.
You can store your everyday dishes, glassware, and utensils near the dishwasher for easy unloading, but you may prefer another convenient location, such as near the dining table. If your plans include a trash compactor, have it installed on the side of the sink opposite the dishwasher to save steps. The cleanup center also requires ample storage for dish towels, cleaning products, and a garbage can. It's an ideal spot for a recycling station.
