A clean and tidy cooking area is e-ssen-tial to every household, and although not used as often as other living areas, your personal wine and dine spot often gets neglected. Sometimes, for as long as 4 weeks. Even if you do not struggle with weekly kitchen cleaning, roll up your sleeves and get ready for a deep clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
With that in mind, if you have neglected your kitchen for as long as a month, this guide by Paul\u2019s Cleaning Company<\/a> aims to help you get back on the cleaning track. Our cleaning checklist ensures that you restore the kitchen to its former glory, regardless of your desired approach to cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you move on to the ultimate deep clean checklist for poor kitchens neglected for up to a month, make sure that you have the right cleaning products at your disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a quick rundown of the recommended items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call us for help with professional domestic cleaning<\/a> or maybe specialised oven valeting<\/a> with a bit of tile and grout cleaning<\/a>? Do not hesitate if you\u2019d use an expert company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are ready to clash with month-old dust, dirt, and grime in the kitchen, prepare to work up a sweat and follow the checklist steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, keep in mind that it features an all-around, general approach to deep cleaning your kitchen. You may want slight redesigns while cleaning. Consult professionals to help you renovate your kitchen space<\/a>, improve the layout<\/a>, flow, look, feel, and survive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it is better to think about this option right away in order to understand your time and material costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to determine how dirty your cabinets and drawers are. If they are covered with grease, you should prepare a degreaser, soft-scrub sponge, small scrub brush or toothbrush, and a kitchen towel or microfiber cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The safest way to tackle the grease is to use a specialised degreaser, says Trough and Trough Elite Cleaning<\/a>. By doing so, you will ensure that the cabinet or drawer coating and paint remain intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can also soften the grease by opting for dish soap and hot water instead. After the greasy spots have softened, clean them with a soapy sponge or a brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To remove any potential leftover residue, dry the surface with a kitchen towel or microfiber cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, you can use some warm soapy water, a sponge, and a microfiber cloth if your cabinets and drawers need freshening up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the sponge soaked in warm soapy water to clean the surfaces and dry them immediately after. This way, you will prevent any streaks from appearing on the polished parts of your cabinets and drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like with cabinets and drawers, you need to tend to the grease on your kitchen bench similarly. To remove grease stains from a wooden kitchen bench, use a degreaser made specifically for wood. Avoid using harsh scrub cleaning items such as wire wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your dirty kitchen bench is made of other materials, you can opt for universal cleaning solutions instead. However, be mindful of products that are rich in acid if you have a stone kitchen bench because they can cause irreversible damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that in mind, a cleaning liquid, spray bottle, sponge, and a cloth will suffice for less dirty kitchen benches, cooktops, and splashbacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the sink is where all the washing happens, it is practically a dirt magnet. It accumulates tons of grime and food scraps. Lack of waste control of what ends up down the drain, your sink can clog easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that said, they make most kitchen sinks of stainless steel. Since stainless steel sinks are prone to limescale build-ups, you will need some limescale remover, a sponge, or some wire wool to clean it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spray the affected surfaces, scrub them, and rinse well. Additionally, you can use some metal polish once the sink is dry. It will help preserve the sink's cleanliness and keep the limescale at bay for a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda will also help clean the sink itself, but a slightly more aggressive mixture will flush the drain. For DIY, try a combination of home ingredients, such as vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, which helps dissolve residue leftovers left in the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After emptying the fridge and removing the bins, soak the bins in a mixture of water and baking soda. If your fridge has a stainless-steel exterior, wipe it with a microfiber cloth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, you can make use of the cleaning solution mentioned above: two-parts water and one-part vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need an all-purpose cleaner, a sponge, two pieces of cloth, and elbow grease to clean your trash can(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n To remove unpleasant odours while sanitising your disposal: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not forget about the kitchen floor! After a month of negligence, it will need a thorough cleaning. Depending on your floor type, you can sweep, vacuum, mop your floor, or combine all three techniques if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In general practice, you will need: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Strength to deep clean your kitchen floor. Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When somebody mentions cleaning, mass-produced cleaning solutions are likely to spring to mind. These disinfectants keep our household surfaces dirt- and grime-free, and also offer indirect support to our immune system. After all, we cannot hope to maintain our health in a bacteria-infested environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be that as it may, most shop-bought cleaning solutions have one major disadvantage \u2014 they are not environmentally friendly. It is not just about their chemical attributes, but the disposable packaging as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While it may not seem like one or two single-use plastic bottles will make a difference, incinerators, and landfills beg to differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that said, the concept of prudent recycling and environmental conscientiousness in cleaning is not a novel idea. For this reason, more and more people are being drawn to the guiding principles of the zero waste movement<\/a>. You, too, may look for ways to contribute to the cause. If that is the case, read on for some tips and tricks which include environmentally friendly products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read: How to Create a Clean and Non-Toxic Environment for Your Child\u2019s Play<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for sustainable cleaning solutions, zero-waste kitchen cleaning recipes will come in handy.
