Step 13Spill Wick and Faucet Aiming Device
Put a paper towel hanging over the edge of the sink to wick spilled water back in.
Put something over the faucet to redirect the water toward the middle of the sink.
result: less water spilled, and spills get cleaned up automatically.
The sinks at our office are a bad design. They're very messy.
The faucet is too close to the edge of the sink.
When you wash your hands water gets all over the counter. When you turn off the water with your wet hands the water also drips on the counter. The counter doesn't drain back into the sink.
So huge puddles develop on the counter.
By the end of the day the puddle has covered the counter and run onto the floor and there are muddy footprints on the wet floor.
Some anonymous genius put a bent hose over the faucet to redirect it.
That helped a lot.
Some anonymous ignoramus took it off and the mess was bad again. Maybe it's a jobs program for janitors.
So I cooked up this method, which works great, and I can re-install it whenever the anonymous ignoramus takes it away. (that's happened about three times so far.)

Alternatively, find a second-hand shower head and a bit of tubing and make a custom hand-sprayer faucet. With a flow constricter, could probably make it water-saving too.
