The kitchen area is one of the rooms with the most enemies. The to biggest are grease and bacteria. Having decided that you want to get all that nasty grease off your kitchen tops, remove all your appliances away from the counter-tops. This ensures that the bacteria won’t spread underneath any of your appliances, e.g. microwave, toaster etc..
If you have to give most of your kitchen a clean but can only manage 30 minutes of your time, then use a multi-purpose spray cleaner and spray the benches, and your appliances. Wipe over these with a dry micro fibre cloth. Then quickly spray your floor and rub over with a floor cloth.
If you can spare an hour why not add the kitchen cabinets to your list. Start with these using soapy waer and a sponge. Wipe the front of the cabinets from top to bottom. Finish these off with a wood cleanser if they are made from wood.
If you have about two hours to spare add to the list the cleaning of inside your appliances. For the fridge, use about 3 tablespoons of baking-soda mixed together with 3 cups of luke warm water. Now lets tackle that oven. Use a multi-purpose cleaner with the help of a scraper to remove food which has stuck onto the racks. For inside the kitchen cabinets, you will have to remove the contents, then get rid of food and crumbs by using the vacuum then clean with a damp cloth.
If some of your appliances are made of stainless-steel then clean these with soap and water with a soft sponge. Then dry with kitchen towels. For an extra shine, use a steel-polish and smear over the fronts. Wipe away the excess with kitchen towel. Using a dry micro-fibre cloth buff up until the fronts are shiny and smear free.
Below are some extra one-off practical cleaning tips:
To remove wax from candle holders, place them in the freezer for an hour or so, the wax will simply slide off the holders.
If your drinking glasses are cloudy, soak them in warm water mixed with vinegar for an hour, then wipe with a nylon sponge.
Remove nasty odors from mattresses by dampening the affected parts with cold water and sprinkle borax over them. Rub the powder vigorously into the affected areas, brushing off any remaining powder.
If you want to remove wallpaper easily, mix equal parts of vinegar and water and roll over the paper until thoroughly soaked. The paper will peel off by itself after two applications of the solution.
Smelly garbage bins? Put slices of lemon inside. This helps get rid of bad smells.
If you have clothes that are delicate, place them inside a pillow-case then wash them on a gentle cyle in your washing machine.
Whose drawn on your walls with crayon? Toothpaste to the rescue! Cover the area with toothpaste and wipe off with a clean dry cloth.
No microfibre cloths in your house? Clean your mirrow with a soaky rag from warm water. Get an old newspaper, crumple it up and buff the mirror up.
