A foot pedal faucet is the biggest optimization I need to make. It's like giving yourself a third arm in many situations.

Kohler makes a touchless faucet. You wave your hand under the faucet and it turns on and off. I've had one for years, and it's great in the kitchen. Most commercial lavatories have the same technology.

Oh wow, I've never even heard of these. Now I want one, though my daughter is within months of being able to crawl, so maybe I'd better skip it for now.

I so desperately want this, I think about it about 5 times a week and probably mention it to my wife as often. But in my old small house I doubt I could ever get one set up. Much better than a touch less one.

Also vastly superior for sanitation. Commercial hand washing sinks use them for that reason.

I use a touch-sensitive faucet. Either way, this is a big upgrade given how often one uses a faucet.

Can't recommend a foot pedal faucet enough. They're not expensive!
