ᐅ Bathroom sink – water always flows toward the back

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my IKEA combination of the Godmorgon base cabinet and the Braviken washbasin. The water always flows towards the wall or collects in the back area where the washbasin meets the tiles. After a few months, I already have mold there. Additionally, water runs down the side of the washbasin. This design seems completely flawed, and I am considering removing it. However, it cost me quite a bit, and I generally like the look of the washbasin. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? I have attached a few photos. The washbasin is overall level, but it seems slightly tilted backward on the left side. That doesn’t really make sense since it rests on the base cabinet, which is flush against the wall. It could only be that the wall is not perfectly vertical. Tilting it forward is probably not possible, and attaching anything at the back might also be pointless. Has anyone experienced this problem or can imagine what could be done here?

No, seriously. I do a thorough cleaning every few weeks, otherwise I don’t clean at all. It doesn’t always have to sparkle, don’t you have anything else to do? 😉

I’ve been waiting for exactly this comment… 😉 It’s really no effort to quickly go over things once in a while. It doesn’t even take me 5 seconds. It’s always clean, not just every few weeks. Doing a deep clean is unnecessary, so time-wise we’re all even… take that… :p

By the way, this is a concept I have been trying to teach my family ever since I moved them in with me. It’s better to clean up, put things away, and tidy up right away so that clutter doesn’t build up. So far, unfortunately, the larger number is winning.
