Never forget to wash: 5 traditionally dirty places in the kitchen have been named
The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often than other rooms. In addition to general clutter, the kitchen is full of crumbs, grease stains, and food scraps.
Regular cleaning is necessary to keep your kitchen clean and prevent rust and mold. However, Express experts have named five traditionally dirty spots in the kitchen that owners often forget to clean.
Knife block
Often when using a knife, we simply put it back on the block. For example, when cutting bread we may miss the importance of cleaning the knife. But the knife block should be washed periodically of dirt and crumbs. It's 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 napkin into each knife socket to thoroughly clean them. Wipe the outside with soap and water, then leave it to dry," Jen noted.
Cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts can be one of the dirtiest surfaces in the kitchen. Wipe them with a paper towel to see how much dust and grease stains accumulate on them.
Don't use overly abrasive products 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 microfiber cloth.
Many germs can accumulate on knobs and fittings. They should be wiped down with an antibacterial spray.
Trash can
The garbage can can can be the cause of unpleasant odors in the home. It is a veritable nursery of bacteria and germs. It's best to clean it 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 cleaning, wash it thoroughly with hot water and soap and rub the inside and outside with a brush," Jen recommends.
Sinks
To clean the drains, pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain, then one cup of white vinegar and let stand for 15 minutes. Then rinse with hot water and lemon juice.
Places Between Appliances
It's very easy not to notice dirt and crumbs under built-in appliances and appliances on the countertop. You shouldn't clean underneath them very often - a few times a year should be enough. You will be surprised at how much dust and crumbs accumulate in the small cracks.
