A Beginners Guide To Kitchen Cleaning

1. A Beginners Guide To Kitchen Cleaning

2. Kitchen cleaning can be a horrific task if left long overdue, or if you’re a messy cook. Some of us know perfectly well how to clean it, we just can’t be bothered (in which case we call in the professionals and have them do it for us), while others may not know where to start and how to go about it to achieve maximum results. For all those kitchen cleaning newbies, here is a beginner’s guide to cleaning your kitchen:

3. Oven cleaning: Take out the racks and immerse them in hot soapy water, your sink is probably the easiest place to do this. Depending on how grubby they are, leave them to soak before scrubbing them clean and letting them air dry. Using a solution of baking soda (1/2 cup) and warm water (8 cups) in a spray bottle, spray down the interior and sides of the oven. Leave it to sit for a couple of hours before cleaning and wiping down with a water and vinegar combination. Cleaning the refrigerator: Once you’ve removed everything from the fridge, take out the shelves and racks and soak them in hot, soapy water.

4. Got through the contents and dispose of out of date items, then spray the interior with a cleaning solution. Wipe this down along with the shelves and racks, then once everything has dried, replace what was removed. Repeat for the freezer. If the outside of the fridge is dirty, simply spray it with a cleaning solution and wipe it down, taking care not to leave any smears. Mucky microwaves: Fill a microwavable bowl with ½ water and ½ vinegar, then heat on high for up to 10 minutes. The heat and steam should help to shift any food debris, and after, you should be able to wipe down the interior and scrub off any tougher stains.

5. Cleaning electric stovetops: Take off the heating coils and reflector bowls before soaking the bowls in hot, soapy water. Dampen the stovetop and sprinkle over baking soda. Scrub well to get the stove top clean before putting back the coils and bowls and wiping down any knobs. Cleaning a gas stovetop: Take off the heating grates and soak in warm, soapy water before cleaning. As with the electric stovetop; dampen the surface and sprinkle with baking soda before cleaning. Wipe down any knobs and replace the grates.

6. This method can be repeated for glass stovetops, too. Dirty dishwashers: Take out the bottom rack of the dishwasher and check for blockages before sprinkling baking soda over the interior and replacing the bottom rack. Place a cup of vinegar on the top rack of the dishwasher and run a hot water cycle. This should eliminate stains, debris, and odors. Sink spritzing: Sprinkle baking soda over the sink and give it a good scrub until it’s clean. You can use this on the faucets too, although lemon works better to give a shine and fresh smell to stainless steel.

7. Pour half a cup of baking soda down the garbage disposal, throw in half a lemon and then run it until the lemon has been crushed and has disappeared. Rinse the sink if necessary and buff with an old towel to eliminate any smears. And there you have it…no excuses now! However, if your kitchen has gone beyond the normal constraints of cleaning, call in the professionals and they’ll use their own equipment and techniques to get it back to its clean and hygienic self again.
