10 Tips to Keep Your Kitchen Sparkling Clean Between Professional Cleans
The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home. It's where meals are prepared, families gather, and memories are made. But with all the cooking, baking, and daily activities, it can also be the messiest room in the house. While Broom and Bucket's cleaning service ensures your kitchen shines after each visit, maintaining that sparkle between our routine cleans can be challenging.
Don't fret! Here are some tried-and-true tips to keep your kitchen spotless between our visits:
1. Daily Wipe Downs:
Every evening, after dinner, take a few minutes to wipe down countertops, stovetops, and sinks. This prevents grease and grime from building up and makes your weekly cleaning tasks much more manageable.
2. Deal with Spills Immediately:
Tackle it immediately, whether it's a sauce splatter or a milk spill. The longer it sits, the harder it becomes to clean. Plus, immediate action prevents stains and odours.
3. Empty the Dishwasher Every Morning:
Starting the day with an empty dishwasher encourages everyone to place their dirty dishes inside rather than leaving them in the sink or on the counter.
4. Invest in Quality Mats:
Place mats at the kitchen entrance to catch dirt and debris. This keeps your kitchen floors clean and reduces the amount of sweeping and mopping required.
5. Organise as You Go:
When cooking, try to clean as you go. Rinse utensils, put away ingredients after using them, and wipe down surfaces. This reduces the post-cooking cleanup time significantly.
6. Store Food Properly:
Use airtight containers to store leftovers. This prevents spills in the refrigerator and keeps food fresher for longer, reducing waste.
7. Take Out the Trash Daily:
Even if the bin isn't full, emptying it daily prevents odours and keeps pests away. Remember to clean and disinfect the bin regularly, too.
8. Monthly Deep Clean:
Once a month, take the time to deep clean appliances like the oven, microwave, and refrigerator. This ensures they function efficiently and remain free of stubborn grime.
9. Use Baskets and Trays:
Group similar items on trays or in baskets on countertops. This not only looks neat but also makes cleaning easier. Simply lift the tray or basket to wipe down the counter.
10. Schedule Regular Cleaning with Broom and Bucket:
While these tips will help maintain a clean kitchen, nothing beats the thoroughness of a professional cleaning service. Schedule regular cleans with Broom and Bucket, Liverpool's top-rated domestic cleaners, to ensure your kitchen always shines.
A spotless kitchen is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a hygienic space for preparing and enjoying meals. With a little daily effort and the expertise of Broom and Bucket, you can enjoy a pristine kitchen every day. Remember, a clean kitchen is a happy kitchen!
