7 Kitchen Cleaning Hacks

• Keeping your kitchen clean can be a real bore,
  and difficult to stay on top of if you live in a
  multiple occupancy household, or are a messy
  cook! With these kitchen cleaning hacks however
  you can make light work of your kitchen cleaning
  duties
• Get some rest while your oven cleans itself!
• The easiest way to get your oven sparkling clean
  again is to prepare a solution of baking soda and
  water, apply it and leave it overnight

3

• Mix ½ cup of baking soda with a touch of water to
  form a paste
• Take out the oven racks
• Smear the paste over the interior of the oven,
  focusing on any particularly troublesome spots.
  Make sure not to cover the heating elements
• Go to bed!
• The next morning, wipe away the paste with a damp
  cloth
• Spray vinegar over the inside of the oven
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it all down

4

• Always clean from top to bottom
• While it can be tempting to start cleaning in a
  random fashion, you can soon lose track of what
  youve cleaned and what you havent, and its
  hard to stay organized. Instead, begin at the top
  of a room, work your way down and finish with the
  floors.
• Utilize your dishwasher
• There are many kitchen items that would benefit
  from a cycle in the dishwasher, and you can even
  pop your range grates in for a deep cleanse.

5

• Freshen up your trash cans
• Even if you always use a strong bag inside your
  trash can, it can be surprising how smelly and
  unhygienic the inside of the can gets, and the
  smell can quickly infiltrate your entire home. To
  clean out and freshen up your trash cans, fill
  them with hot water and soap or vinegar, and
  leave it to soak for up to an hour. Then, tip the
  mixture out and simply wipe it down with a cloth
  or paper towels. For additional, longer lasting
  freshness, you can pop a few cotton balls soaked
  in an essential oil of your choice into the
  bottom of the can before you put a new bag in.

6

• Give your chopping board a new lease of life
• Your cutting board or butchers block may be
  harboring a whole host of nasty bacteria and
  could be looking pretty grubby, too. To clean it
  and freshen it up, try the following
• Sprinkle coarse salt over the surface
• Take a lemon and squeeze it over the salt
• Then, rub the lemon over the board, flesh side
  down
• Leave it to dry before wiping away any excess
  salt
• Rub a thin layer of coconut oil into the board

7

• Leave it to absorb the oil for up to 15 minutes
• Rejuvenate your microwave
• It can be all too easy to keep on putting food in
  the microwave and never take the time to clean
  it, but oftentimes, whats lurking inside can be
  pretty gross and smelly! To help eliminate food
  spillages (or explosions!), try the following
  hack
• Take a cut lemon and place both halves in a
  medium sized bowl of water
• Set the microwave going for 3 minutes on a high
  heat
• Leave it to stand for 5 minutes

8

• Wipe it down with a cloth or sponge
• Eliminate grease and dusty buildup
• Over time, grease and oil can build up on any
  number of surfaces in the kitchen, and can become
  sticky and unsightly. As if this wasnt bad
  enough, dust and other airborne debris then
  sticks to the grease and oil, and before you know
  it, youve got a big sticky, unsightly mess to
  clean. To get rid of this, try the following
• Use a towel dampened with vegetable oil to wipe
  the affected area
• Do this as many times as needed before wiping off
  the excess oil
• And our favorite hack has to behire a
  professional cleaner!
