Let’s Talk Dirty… Dishes: The Feng Shui Consequences of a Crusty Sink
Let’s Talk Dirty… Dishes: The Feng Shui Consequences of a Crusty Sink
Because your abundance deserves better than that 3-day-old cereal bowl.
We need to have a little chat about your sink, babe.
No judgment—we’ve all had that week. The one where your sink looks like a sad buffet of last Tuesday’s regrets. But if we’re being real (and we always are here), your crusty, cluttered sink isn’t just killing your vibe—it’s clogging your abundance.
In feng shui, your kitchen sink is more than a place to rinse quinoa. It represents flow, cleansing, and the ability to let go—and if it’s full of dirty dishes, leftover spaghetti water, and emotional stagnation, well... so is your energy field.
Let’s clear the sink, clear the chi, and open up your path to success (and maybe romance, because a clean sink is kinda sexy—just saying).
Rule #1: Dirty Dishes = Stuck Energy
In feng shui, anything left stagnant becomes energetic clutter. Dishes that sit? Energy that sits. Translation: your motivation, money, clarity, and even libido are low-key drying out in that sticky ramekin.
If your sink is full, you might notice:
Creative blocks
Financial slowdowns
Snappy moods or general blah-ness
A mysterious urge to binge bad TV instead of build your empire
Sound familiar? Clear your sink. Clear your life.
Rule #2: Water = Wealth
Water is one of the five elements in feng shui—and it's directly tied to your money energy. When your sink is overflowing, leaking, or just plain neglected, it represents money going down the drain.
Want more cash flow?
Then you need actual flow—and that starts with a clean, functional sink.
Quick money-magnet checklist:
Fix any leaks or drips immediately (each drip = loss of wealth energy)
Keep drains clear and water flowing easily
Clean the faucet and handles—they represent how you receive
That crusty calcified handle? It might be crusting up your cash.
Rule #3: Do the Dishes with Intention (Not Resentment)
Yes, washing dishes can be meditative. (Don’t roll your eyes.)
Instead of scrubbing in frustration, try this:
🎧 Put on a playlist you love.
🕯️ Light a candle.
💭 Repeat an affirmation like: “As I clean this space, I make room for success to flow into my life.”
You’re not just doing chores. You’re clearing energetic gunk and making space for blessings. You’re a domestic goddess with goals.
Rule #4: The Sink is Your “Letting Go” Zone
Feng shui is about more than placement—it’s about movement. And nowhere is the metaphor of letting go more literal than the sink.
Rinsing old food down the drain = releasing stagnant energy.
Wiping the basin clean = resetting your mindset.
Starting the day with an empty sink = beginning from a clear slate.
Pro Tip:
Make it a ritual. Every night before bed, empty and wipe your sink. You’ll wake up with fresh chi and a better mood. (It’s basically energetic coffee.)
Rule #5: Don’t Let Your Sink Be a Catch-All
The sink is not:
A laundry basket for rogue mugs
A garbage can for mystery liquids
A tomb for “soaking” pans you forgot three days ago
Think of your sink like the VIP lounge of your kitchen.
Only clean, purposeful, high-vibe items belong there.
✨ What can live near the sink:
A beautiful hand soap
A sponge in a cute holder
A small plant or crystal for purification
(Yes, you can totally put a crystal near your sink. You’re fabulous and mysterious like that.)
Final Rinse: Your Sink Reflects Your Self-Worth
If you’ve ever looked at your sink and thought, “I’ll get to it later,” ask yourself where else in life you’re putting off self-care, prosperity, or progress.
Feng shui teaches us that how we treat our home is how we treat ourselves.
So clean the sink like your goals depend on it—because in many ways, they do.
