A Cheat’s Guide To Kitchen Cleaning

Most of us would love to have an immaculately clean house, but let’s face it, unless you are lucky enough to employ a professional cleaner or you have all the time in the world to spend scrubbing and mopping, most of us are happy with pushing the vacuum round a couple of times a week and wiping the bathroom over as and when necessary.

Here are a few tips to keeping your kitchen super clean whilst using the minimum amount of effort:

·         When cooking your evening meal, fill the sink up with some hot, soapy water.  Add the pots and pans as you finish using them, so they’ll be soaking whilst you eat your dinner.  They will then be ready for either a quick scrub or to be placed in the dishwasher with the rest of the crockery.
·         Use a non-stick oven liner on the floor of your oven.  This will catch any drips and crumbs and can simply be placed in the dishwasher as and when required.
·         Keep your dishwasher clean by adding some bicarbonate of soda to a damp cloth and wipe around the edges of the machine.  This will help to kill harmful bacteria such as E.coli.
·         Be sure to soak your sponges and clothes in a solution of bleach, washing up liquid and hot water every night.  You can also wash your cloths in the washing machine regularly to keep them looking clean.
·         If you’re feeling a bit more energetic, it is important to deep clean your kitchen now and again.  Start on the right hand side of your oven and work clockwise around the room.  This way you’ll clean the oven last, which is usually the grubbiest part of the room. 
·         Some people find it easy but others don’t, but multi-tasking is a great way of getting jobs done!  If you’ve a phone call to make, sweep the floor or give the inside of your windows a quick clean -  you’ll be so busy concentrating on your phone call that you’ll be surprised at how many little cleaning tasks you can achieve during a short space of time!



These kitchen cleaning tips should help you to keep your kitchen looking spotlessly clean whilst using only a small amount of effort – perfect.
