The random mix of styles reminds Adia a little of her college days when the dorm kitchen contained all manner of dishes, some even pilfered from the cafeteria. It's too bad that Caspar isn't here, she thinks, he has a much better eye for that sort of thing. But first things first -- show Amelia how to keep her sink clean and empty.
Which is going to take a bit of education. Adia keeps her expression neutral, although inside she's cringing a little at the lack of cleanser. "Well, ah... hot water does take care of most food that's left on your plate, but dish soap is important because it cuts down on the risk of germs. Also, it's really good at cutting through oil or grease, so it makes cleaning everything a lot easier."
She smiles at Amelia's question. "Yes, that's the right word. That's great that your building has a chute, that means you can throw out your trash whenever you like." She waits for her friend to empty out the garbage -- already that makes a heck of a difference, when the empty bins are returned. "Ah... well, do you have some paper and a pen? We should probably make a shopping list of the cleaning supplies you'll need. Clean wash cloths are fine for the kitchen so long as you change them out daily, but we should get some dish soap, and..." She glances at the stovetop. "Some type of all-purpose cleanser for the counters. Then we can see what we need for the rest of the apartment."
