Cleaning tips for your kitchen

In our last post we gave you a few tips on how to clean up you kitchen better and maybe faster, in the sense that if you stick to our tips, it will definitely be a less time consuming activity in the future. We’ve told you all about cleaning the fridge and why this is such an important part of cleaning the kitchen. But there are plenty of other things to do and places to clean, so here is the rest of our tip list.

Cleaning up the stove is another very important task. This is not necessarily because it would be some kind of a health hazard, but because we all know just how hard burnt grease can be to clean. In case you are not already doing this, you should start cleaning your stove every time you use it. It’s much simpler than having to scrub it for minutes on end. And to make things even easier, you can spray it with whatever stove cleaning product you fancy and let it work while you do the dishes. This way, if you are dealing with stains that are harder to clean, they will have time to soak while you do something else. The same thing also applies to the microwave. Even if it rarely gets messy, don’t forget to clean it from time to time and to be as thorough as you can.

And since we have mentioned doing the dishes, you should probably know that the place with the most bacteria in the kitchen will always be the dish sponge. Regardless of its condition, the dish sponge should be changed once every two weeks, because otherwise it will clean your dishes, but they will be full of germs after you are done washing them. So keep in mind to regularly change it and not use it on something else afterwards. You should also wash the sink every time you do the dishes, because germs just like tiny bits of leftover food.

Another thing you must not forget while cleaning the kitchen is to regularly organize your pantry or any other place where you keep different ingredients such as pasta, flour and condiments. Ants and other little bugs love these places, and if we are talking about ingredients that you don’t use so often, you might end up one day having to deal with a true pest problem. And speaking of ants, you might also want to clean up the bread basket every time you buy a new loaf and also clean the toaster from all those nasty crumbs that have gotten stuck inside.

These are just some of the tips we have when it comes to cleaning the kitchen. You should basically make sure that every inch of that room is clean and sanitary. You should clean the oven, the cupboards, that place in between the stove and the wall, everything must be spotless.
