7 Cleaning Kitchen Hints And Tips

Cleaning your kitchen is a necessary chore in order to have a clean working environment and also to avoid health hazards. Cleaning your kitchen will go faster if you have a checklist to follow. Here's some helpful cleaning tips:

How to clean a porcelain kitchen sink:

**Stop up the sink and fill sink with warm water, then add chlorine bleach. Let water soak in sink for one hour. For more stubborn stains, line sink with paper towels saturated with chlorine and let them sit in the there for 8 to 10 hours. WARNING: Do not use chlorine bleach for sinks that are cracked or too porous, this will cause the bleach to leak through and damage the iron base, which leads to rusting.

How to clean a steel sink:

**Wash sink with hot sudsy water. Avoid abrasive cleansers.

**Clean and polish with glass cleaner.

**Remove scratches or pit spots by rubbing sink gently with very fine steel wool. Buff with a soft cloth.

Get rid of kitchen sink odor - once every week pour one handful of baking soda down the drain and run hot water for a minute or so. You can also pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain and let it sit for 30 minutes, rinse with hot water.

Avoid clogged drains - never pour cooking grease or coffee grounds down the kitchen drain.

Hardened food stains - the quickest way to get rid of hardened food stains is to pry them up with an ice scraper. If you have more patience, you can soak stains with soapy water, which will dissolve them.

Clean countertop stains - most countertop stains can be cleaned up with baking soda and a damp soft cloth. For persistent stains add a little chlorine bleach to a damp cloth and wipe.

Deodorize your cutting board - to remove smells from your wooden cutting board, rub it with a freshly cut lemon, rinse and dry.

What’s the best way to clean doors/cupboards?
I’m a very clean person and take pride in my home so it’s a little embarrassing asking this but what’s the best way to clean kitchen cupboards and room doors? everything I try just smudges them and in the sunlight you can see all the marks and fingerprints. Are there any hints or tips that you can share so that my cupboards and room doors look clean and mark free?

Add a good few capful’s of white vinegar to your cleaning water, it gets rid of grease, fingerprints and smudges.

I use bleach to clean mine. i live in a rental house and the cupboards are painted white so they are naturally hard to keep clean, so that is what I use.

You need something to remove grease. Initially you could try sugar soap. This is very cheap and it removes grease and will take away all the smudges and smears. Apply with a cloth or sponge to interior paint work to remove dirt and grease and to restore colour to paint work etc. Wipe down with a clean cloth.
I hope this will help.

No Clue

1 gallon of hot water
1 cup of ammonia
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup baking soda
This solution will clean anything, You do need to rinse though.
Then use a polish with no wax in it. The wax promotes smudges and fingerprints.
Don’t be embarrassed, I applaud you for taking pride in a clean home : )

I have no idea of what your cupboards are made of , if they are wood wash them down with Murphy OIl Soap and give them a coat of Lemon oil to treat the wood , if they are MDF I wash mine once a week I spray them with Fantastik and them wipe them down to remove any splatter of oil ,I then wash them down with Pine Sol. But if you need to remove finger marks just use a cloth and a solution of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle and wipe with a paper towel.

Wash with soapy water and dry thoroughly with rags. Do not use polish on any doors that are painted as it will be difficult to paint over in the future.

I know what you mean, we have those white panel doors that were all scuffed and marked up when we moved in. Last house I actually painted them to get rid of the marks. This house I got smart and just used a mr. clean magic eraser. As for my cupboards I have wood ones and I use Orange glo on them. It will look a little bit streaky at first, but after a few hours it looks great.

Clean with your preferred cleaner and water. Then dry the surface with a microfibre or cotton cloth ( like a dish drying cloth) and all the marks are gone
