Tips To Clean Your Kitchen's Countertops And More

Cleaning is a strenuous task in general. However, cleaning your kitchen can get especially tougher as there are so many different appliances and surfaces to clean. From stovetops to fridge interiors to countertops – the variety of chores that must be done in this one room is extensive. Fortunately for you, we have put together a list of tips on how to clean your kitchen with ease!

Cleaning Your Countertop

• Remove all pots and pans from the countertop.

• Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub off any food residue. Be sure not to use a brush with sharp bristles as they may damage the surface of your countertop.

• If there are any tough stains, mix equal water and vinegar and use a sponge with soft edges to scrub them away.

• Once clean, rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Cleaning Your Fridge Interior

• Remove all items from your fridge. This will make cleaning much easier as you will only have one large item to clean rather than multiple smaller items.

• Use a vacuum hose attachment to suck up any loose particles from the bottom of your fridge and keep them in their designated spot - this will prevent unnecessary messes.

• Mix warm water with dishwashing liquid and scrub all surfaces thoroughly using a sponge or soft-bristled brush.

• If there are any stubborn stains, you may use bleach on its own or as part of the above mixture - however, be sure to rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Cleaning Your Oven Interior

• Turn your oven on to its highest setting and leave it for 20 minutes or until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius). This will help loosen up any burnt residue that may be stuck in your oven.

• Remove the racks from your oven and use a scrubber with soft edges to clean all surfaces thoroughly. Be sure not to use a brush as it may damage the surface of your oven.

• Once clean, rinse thoroughly with warm water.
