My 20-year old ceramic (porcelain?) kitchen sink tends to grow mildew
if left alone for a few days. The mildew prefers to grow in the
scratch marks at the bottom of the sink.

Also, the bottom of my sink is flat, so some water tend to remain
there for a long time.

Would a new sink be more immune to mildew? What about metal sink? Are
there kitchen sinks made with a gentle slope at the bottom such that
water would roll off but dishes can stay put?





You could replace your old procelain sink with a new stainless steel
sink.Very durable.


It will still grow mildew, though, unless he can get it mounted
to completely drain. The cheapest fix is to get a squeegee
for the sink.
