The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often than other rooms. In addition to the general mess, the kitchen is left with a lot of crumbs, grease stains and food leftovers.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain cleanliness and prevent rust and mildew. However, the experts of the Express edition named five traditionally dirty places in the kitchen that the owners often forget to wash.
knife block
Often, when using a knife, we simply put it back into the block. For example, by cutting off bread, we may miss the importance of cleaning the knife. But the knife block should be periodically washed from dirt and crumbs. This is very easy to do – you can turn it upside down over the sink.
Jen Nash, Design Improvement Manager at Magnet, suggests putting some white vinegar on a paper towel and wrapping it around the knife.
“Insert a knife, wrapped in a towel or tissue, into each knife slot to thoroughly clean them. Wipe the outside with soap and water, and then leave to dry,” Jen said.
Cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts can be one of the dirtiest surfaces in a kitchen. Try wiping them down with a paper towel to see how much dust and grease builds up on them.
Don’t use overly abrasive cleaners or chemicals when it comes to cleaning. Experts recommend a solution of water and dishwashing detergent. You should spray it on the cabinets and remove the dirt with a microfibre cloth.
Many germs can accumulate on handles and fittings. They should be wiped down with an antibacterial spray.
Garbage container
Check if there are any food or dust left in the bins.
The trash can can be the cause of some unpleasant odors in the home. This is a real nursery of bacteria and microbes. It’s best to clean up the landfill twice a week, or at least once a week.
“Spray the inside and outside of the container with disinfectant spray and wipe the container dry. For a deeper clean, wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water and scrub the inside and outside with a brush,” Jen recommends.
sinks
To clean drains, toss half a cup of baking soda down the drain, then one cup of white vinegar, and let sit for 15 minutes. Then rinse with hot water and lemon juice.
Spaces between appliances
It is very easy not to notice dirt and crumbs under the built-in appliances and appliances standing on the countertop. Clean under them should not be very often – a few times a year should be enough. You will be surprised at how much dust and crumbs accumulate in small crevices.
