If your kitchen is difficult to clean, it might put you off cleaning it often which will in turn make it unhygienic and not a nice place to spend time in. For a consistently clean kitchen that is easy to maintain, follow these simple tips:
Invest in a good-quality splashback
Kitchen Splashbacks are the best way to avoid stains from grease and oil when cooking that require being painted over. A splashback provides a barrier that makes it easy to wipe away food and dirt. Colourful splashbacks are a great way to add some personality to your kitchen, while splashbacks that mimic the pattern of natural stone suit a more traditional interior.
Commit to a weekly cleaning routine
Staying on top of the cleaning is a lot easier than letting everything get out of hand and requiring a full, time-consuming deep clean. After cooking, always wipe down your hob and inside your oven and use an anti-bacterial surface spray on your kitchen countertops. When you empty the kitchen bin, give it a wipe all over with a thick anti-bacterial flannel and have a cordless vacuum charged and ready to quickly suck up any crumbs from the floor.
Never leave containers open
Avoid leaving packets of food open and use stylish storage jars or airtight containers to keep your kitchen organised. Tidy up leftover food scraps in a countertop composter and remove decaying fruit from fruit bowls which will attract flies and cause bacteria to spread.
Clean containers before recycling them
Before placing any empty jars of food in the recycling, make sure that you wash them out thoroughly. This not only helps the recycling process, but it will avoid the build-up of bad smells, especially in hot weather.
Remember to clean your fridge
Fridge door handles can hold lots of bacteria, so remember to regularly wipe them down with an anti-bacterial spray. Check your fridge once a week for any out-of-date food so that it does not rot and be the cause of bad smells within your home.
Descale your kettle
Your kettle builds up limescale quickly which then flakes off into the water you boil. A regular descale takes ten minutes and will extend the lifespan of your appliance.
It really is simple to maximize your home hygiene and maintain it so that your home is a pleasant and clean place to spend time. Ensure to use all of these tips as this will help you maximize how hygienic your home is and ensure that your home is clean and safe all year round.
