A kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house.
And for food lovers, it is one space you wanna keep squeaky clean at all times.
I mean, speaking from personal experience, a clean kitchen always puts me in the mood to cook!
And right now, I wanna share ten easy time-saving tips that’ll help you keep your kitchen clean at all times.
These are tips and ideas that come from the cleaning pros, so take notes and try them the next time you clean up your kitchen!
1. Always Spray Sit
So you’ve probably come across ads or scenes in TV shows where a quick spray of a cleaner and a wipe of a paper towel over the surface does the job.
Well, you can have that effect too, but cleaning products do need time to do their work!
And to get a great shine, cleaning experts say that you should spray the surface with your cleaner then wait a few minutes for the cleaner to work on the surface before wiping it clean (water can do the trick too!).
Then you can have that satisfying effect of wiping it all up first try! 👍
2. Ketchup? Yes Ketchup!
You can get rid of tarnish on your copper and brass pots pans, fixtures etc. by just dabbing some ketchup on to a soft cloth and rubbing gently on the surface.
You can then finish by rinsing off the utensil with warm water.
3. Use Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide can be useful for removing coffee and juice stains from your kitchen.
According to a renowned kitchen designer Florence Perchuk, putting hydrogen peroxide in water with a few drops of ammonia should do the trick.
4. Start Gentle
Even though you feel your kitchen needs a thorough cleaning, experts have advised that it is better to go for gentle cleaning liquids and not harsh ones that might cause damage to your tabletops or leave harsh smells in your kitchen.
5. Double Line Kitchen Bins
A very useful hack kitchen cleaning experts seem to endorse.
It’s advised that you double line your kitchen bins so you can save time that would’ve been spent cleaning out the trash bin when the first bag gave way.
6. Paper Towels & Dishwashing Liquid for Splatters
For splatters, cleaning experts suggest that as you clean, you take a paper towel or a wet cloth to the oily or water based splatters.
Then use a mild dishwashing liquid with water to do the trick.
7. Baking Soda for a Homemade Cleaner
Marty Hoffman from Hoffman Brothers Floors suggests that you can create a homemade cleaner from baking soda and water which you can use to clean tile floors.
To try this: pour half a cup of baking soda into two gallons of water, mix and then it’ll be ready for use.
8. Clean Gaps With a Knife
Experthometips.com suggests that if you have tiny gaps between the stove and counter, you shouldn’t allow food to fester in there for ages! Get a knife to work the dirt out carefully and easily.
9. White Vinegar for Shine
Stephen Fanuka shares this tip he learned from a cleaning lady.
