SonicScrubber: Perfect for Student Kitchens

It’s back to university time, so SonicScrubber asked some returning uni students to share their communal kitchen nightmares.

Top of the list was one we can relate to- a pile of other people’s unwashed dishes in the sink. 

Thankfully the SonicScrubber Washing Up System is the ideal back to uni tool, allowing students to speed through dirty dishes (theirs or others), faster than they can say the words  ‘My parents are coming to visit’.

Our electric dish scrubber is perfect for kitchen chores from washing-up to cleaning the hob. The pack comes with a water resistant, power cleaning tool and 3 interchangeable cleaning heads: a dish brush that oscillates 10,000 times a minute, a bottle brush and a Scrubbie head, with 4 swappable SonicScrubbies scouring pads. So it’s perfect for blasting dried-on spag bol from plates, pans and oven dishes.

So whilst SonicScrubber can’t help tackle fridge raiders, it speeds through chores so you can spend more time outdoors…or if you’re a student, in bed.

Anyway, over to our top 10 student kitchen nightmares. 

Top 10 Student Kitchen Nightmares

 

This was the number one student kitchen ick. Other students filling the kitchen sink with dirty dishes that soon start to fester. Leaving others to deal with their soiled cookware whenever they need the sink.

 

Ewww brother, ewww! What’s that smell? It's Sam’s half eaten can of beans that’s been at the back of the fridge for a month. Throw it out or give it to a biology student: perhaps they could write a dissertation on the flora and fauna it’s now supporting. 

 

3: Rotas

Rotas rarely work beyond that brief, utopian start to freshers week, when everyone on the corridor thinks that, in years to come, their halls will be awarded with a blue plaque denoting the exact location where a new standard for harmonious communal living first started. Spoiler alert: It never happens. Cooking rotas, cleaning rotas…they rely on everyone pulling their weight and being available for duties when others need them to be. Within a week or two they won’t, but the rows will still be epic.

 

4: Fridge Raiders

Food thieves come in many forms. But the worst are those who steal your last teabag before you get up with the mother of all hangovers. They deserve to stew in hell, which ironically is exactly how you'll feel with that hangover. 

 

5: Kitchen Inquisitions

The essay’s completed, so you feel good as you head to the kitchen to pour some hot water on your noodles. Oh, oh. There’s a group of people with stern faces and folded arms in the kitchen. What’s going on? It’s the kitchen inquisition! Who ate Tamara’s vegan cheese? We’ll probably never know, but a lot of beef is about to be served. 

 

6: Microwave Meltdowns

Why is there smoke pouring out the back of that microwave? Tess, that frozen lasagne was supposed to be in for 4 minutes, not 40 and is that cheese sauce or melted plastic oozing out of the door?

 

7: Fish

Smelly fish. In all its forms. Eugh.

 

8: Passive Aggressive Notes

Polite notice: To the person who keeps putting notes everywhere. Stop it. 

 

9: Cooker Clashes

Ten students sharing one cooker. Who will get to use the two rings on the hob that actually work before Strictly starts? Probably not you.

 

10: Morning Shame

You wake up to the sound of loud exclamations of disgust, coming from the kitchen. Your head hurts. Then you remember the food fight. At 2am. After a night out at The Union. Best stay in bed a bit longer.

So there we have it, 10 student kitchen nightmares from our chat with 12 London students. And don’t forget, whether you’re heading back to uni, or just trying to scrub away the nightmares of cooking in a shared kitchen, the SonicScrubber Washing Up System is the electric dishwasher that makes doing the dishes a dream.
