Cleaning the kitchen is one of the most important tasks around your home. After all, you prepare all of your meals there, and you don’t want to end up using dirty dishes or having a dirty worktop. Here are a few tips for cleaning the kitchen that may make the whole process much easier.
If you’re allergic to harsh chemicals, there are some other ways of disinfecting your counters and your sink that won’t leave you short of breath. One of these is to use baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda can be used to remove many different stains on your sink or counters. Vinegar is a natural cleaning agent, and by mixing it with water and pouring the mixture into a squirt bottle, you have an all-natural disinfectant that also removed odours. Besides being chemical-free, these two cleaning items are fairly cheap. Lemon juice can also be used to clean hard water deposits and stains from your sink.
When sweeping, don’t forget to sweep under your fridge and the front of your oven and dishwasher. Often, dust and other items collect under these appliances. It’s difficult to get a mop under these appliances, so sweeping often is the only way to clean in these areas.
Don’t let your dirty dishes stack up in the sink. This can cause your sink to get stained by food scraps. Be careful when pouring coffee, tea, or soft drinks down your sink. Coffee especially can stain the sink if it’s allowed to sit in it for several hours.
If you have a rubbish disposal appliance attached in your kitchen, to clean it put a lemon or lime down it to remove the odours. Then drop some ice cubes down the disposal to sharpen the blades.
Finally, to deal with those difficult microwave stains, first microwave a coffee cup half-filled with water for about two minutes. The steam from the water will help loosen up any baked-in splatters.
