Kitchen cleaning

Cleaning in the kitchen is not a favorite thing for many, as is the cleaning of the apartment in general.

There are rare individuals to whom this process is a joy, but the bulk of people can not stand cleaning. Special attention deserves the kitchen.

Cleaning in the kitchen is a tough business. Especially when they didn’t tidy up there at all for a long time.

We determine the range of work

First you need to look at what we have in the kitchen. Yah? - you say, - As if I do not know! This is my kitchen!

The point here is not how much you know your kitchen, but how to clean properly to save what you have there. The kitchen is usually equipped with:

• Gas or electric stove;
• Fridge;
• Kitchen furniture;
• Bread box;
• Microwave oven;
• Double boiler;
• Trash can;
• A sink;
• A cabinet for folding wet dishes after washing;
• Dishwasher;
• Cooker hood;
• Gas column (not at all, but often);
• The kitchen table.

What we use in the kitchen:

• A kettle;
• Meat grinder;
• Appliances;
• Pots and pans;
• Chopping boards;
• Various utensils (grater, pots, rolling pins);
• All sorts of bowls, bottles and jars.

Proper care of all these things is more than once a month the general cleaning of the kitchen “with blood and sweat”, when you scrub all surfaces to the green devils in the eyes. Proper daily cleaning in the kitchen consists of small, easy steps.

Important! You can still hear such a phrase from our grandparents: "Purely not where they clean, but where they do not scrub." First of all, this applies to the kitchen, because during cooking, grease and soot remain on the surfaces, and after eating, plates and appliances are usually not clean. If you wash it all at once, you will avoid spring cleaning at all.

Proper kitchen care every day

Inspect your possessions always after you have used the kitchen. Daily cleaning of the kitchen, whatever one may say, is needed - to avoid heavy general cleaning later. Then take action. Here are the tips below.

Gas and / or electric stove

Cleaning the kitchen always begins with her and this is a common and frequent problem of most housewives. Nothing prevents you from wiping it right after cooking. Then nothing dries, does not freeze, does not eat. And the stove is always clean!

Fridge

When you put leaking cellophane bags with raw meat and fish, cottage cheese, juicy fruit, and other food that can flow. Or when leftovers of food are lying there without proper sealing, you can be sure that when you open the refrigerator door, you and your guests will be struck by an unpleasant aroma. On the spot.

So that cleaning the refrigerator does not take much time, and the unit itself worked at full capacity, follow these rules:

1. Buy plastic boxes and put leftover food in them.
2. Wash fruits immediately and put them in them.
3. Cottage cheese and other dairy products are in them.
4. Meat and fish - immediately in the freezer, if you do not need to cook them now. If then you do not like to defrost - again the boxes to help.
5. If something has leaked, wipe it off immediately. Keep strong-smelling foods tight and tightly closed.
6. Do not store food for long. If you did not eat on time - throw it away.

Kitchen furniture

1. Only put clean objects there, as dust often accumulates there.
2. Do not pile up dishes and plates.
3. Make sure that everything is easy to get out and wipe the shelves.
4. Every day, walking along the external surfaces of the furniture with a damp cloth, you will always save its pretty appearance and cleanliness.

Important! Usually in the kitchen there is a window and, accordingly, a window sill. Every day, wipe the dust from the windowsill, because it is from there that the dust usually migrates to the room.

Bread box

We have long since begun to store bread as they sell it to us - in plastic bags. However, there is an opinion that bread should “breathe”, and many people get rid of bags and store bread in a bread box without anything. In this case, it does not bother to lay something down and often shake this “something” from crumbs.

Important! Do not store fresh with old bread, otherwise fresh in a short time will smell old.

Microwave or microwave

The aromas of food will not live there and mix with each other if wiped inside with a damp cloth immediately after use and left the door open.

Double boiler

The same as with the stove - wash immediately after cooking.

Bin

Wash the garbage can every time after taking out the trash. Then the smells of slops will not interrupt the smells of food. Garbage bags often leak, many, not noticing this, cover up a new one and the bucket begins to exude “aroma”. No matter how funny it sounds, however, it often happens. When the smell of the bin begins to haunt you throughout the apartment, cleaning the kitchen becomes an obsession.

Important! By the way, for economy and ecology, you can use not only special garbage bags, but also those that you bring from the supermarket. They are quite roomy and dense.

Sink

A sink will always pass water well if you put the net on the drain. And if you clean it after every dishwashing, the sink will not smell unpleasant. We also often hide a bin in the sink, so this place is one of the dirtiest in the kitchen and needs to be washed often using chemicals.

Cabinet for folding wet dishes after washing

A specific place, however. Because if you don’t pour the water from the container where the water flows on time, then you can also collect the mold to make penicillin. About penicillin, of course, a joke. But the water, after you have already removed the dry dishes and put them in place, it is better to immediately pour from that container and wipe with a dry cloth.

Dishwasher

After use, immediately pull out the shelves from the inside and wipe with a dry cloth. Then push the shelves into place and do not close for some time.

Cooker hood

After cooking, wipe with detergent for dishes from soot and grease. If you are not very afraid, then take the means with which they wash the stove from obsolete fat. There are people who generally “Domestos” wipe dry surfaces in the kitchen.

Gas water heater

It just needs to be periodically cleaned from dust, but if it is close to the stove, it is better to do the same procedure as with the hood.

Kitchen table

Immediately after use, wipe it clean and dry.

Important! Naturally, what we use when we cook and eat requires constant and proper care. But, rather, not because it will quickly become unusable, but because it will have to be washed, but then it will be much more difficult to do it.

Kettle

Nobody ever pays special attention to him until he “grunts,” that is, he breaks. Then you go and just buy a new one. Why wait until your kettle goes down? Just keep it clean. Dust is also accumulating on the kettle, and it is just necessary to wipe it every day with a damp cloth and then with a dry cloth. And periodically pour vinegar or at least “Coke” to remove scale.

Meat grinder

After use, clean, wash, dry, fold, preferably in the correct order.

Devices

In general, dishes should always be washed immediately after eating, then you won’t have to scrape off any accumulated deposits from food or drink during general cleaning. And after washing the dishes does not interfere with wiping all the surfaces around the sink.

Pots and pans

Pots, pans, as well as various utensils (graters, cookers, rolling pins) - immediately wash after use, and wipe cutting boards immediately after use.

By the way, it is advisable not to wash the boards, but if you wash, then not always - they are wooden and absorb water. After that, the tree softens, and the boards become unusable. Throw all kinds of bowls, boxes, bottles, jars immediately without regrets, when they are no longer washed out of smells.

Important! Do not forget about the floor and walls in the kitchen. Cleaning the kitchen includes cleaning these interior details. When you have already washed, folded, wipe the walls and floor. It is also desirable to have a refrigerator door. If there’s not enough time on the floor, then just sweep the trash and wash it next time.

If daily cleaning in the kitchen will be perceived by you as the final stage of cooking, and you will take it as a rule, then when that “kitchen day” comes, you will finish it very quickly and it will turn out to you only in a couple of hours.

In order to make it easier and faster, mentally divide the kitchen into zones, and then proceed as follows:

1. Collect all the dishes, put them in the dishwasher. If it is not, load the dishes into the sink, fill with hot water and detergent - soak.

9. Wash all appliances inside and out after disconnecting them from the mains.
10. Clean all utensils with soda or a chemical cleaner for kitchen utensils.
11. Wash the hood, including inside, with a very strong cleaning agent, as grease, soot accumulates there.
12. Thoroughly wash the walls, tiles on the sink and above the stove.
13. Put all the items that you washed and cleaned in their places, load the food in the refrigerator, turn it on.
14. Wash the floor with a grease remover. You can add toilet liquid to the water, the floor will sparkle.
15. Hang the curtain.

Important! It is necessary to carry out cleaning of the kitchen with gloves; the skin of your hands may suffer from an abundance of funds.

Folk ways for modern housewives

Kitchen cleaning can be done in ways that have come to us from ancient times.

1. Pour the powder to the surface.
2. Use a dry sponge to clean it.

Microwave

It will be cleaned with water:

1. Pour water into a bowl.
2. Set the panel to medium power - about 10 minutes.
3. Wait until the water in the bowl starts to boil, steam will come out of it, which will soften the fat, pollution.
4. Turn off the oven, wipe the inside with a soft dry cloth.

Important! To remove additional odor, you can add lemon or soda.

Electric stove

A modern electric stove with a ceramic panel can be cleaned with ordinary lemon. For this:

1. Cut the lemon into two, squeeze the juice onto a cooled surface.
2. With the same half of the lemon, distribute the juice on the surface.
3. Wait 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Important! Such cleaning is not suitable for a stove with already dried up old dirt, it is more likely to clean the surface every day after cooking.

Oven

Grease in the oven will remove ordinary salt. “Extra” is best suited, it is shallow, therefore, has better absorbency. Sprinkle fresh spots of fat on it - it will absorb them. Then simply remove the dirty salt with a dry rag or cloth.

Important! This method does not work with obese fat. Such pollution will only be washed away by chemistry.

If dried baking spots, fillings, and also fat from cooking meat dishes remain on the baking sheets after baking, you can soak them in warm water with the addition of baking soda and lemon juice.
