A Beginners Guide To Kitchen Cleaning

• Kitchen cleaning can be a horrific task if left
  long overdue, or if youre a messy cook. Some of
  us know perfectly well how to clean it, we just
  cant 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
  beginners guide to cleaning your kitchen

• 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 youve removed everything from the fridge,
  take out the shelves and racks and soak them in
  hot, soapy water.

• Got through the contents and dispose of out of
  date items, then spray the interior with a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.

• 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 its 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 itno excuses now! However, if
  your kitchen has gone beyond the normal
  constraints of cleaning, call in the
  professionals and theyll use their own equipment
  and techniques to get it back to its clean and
  hygienic self again.
