Keep reading for simple kitchen cleaning hacks that won’t take up much of your day.
Use steam to loosen grime
Using steam is one of our most cost-effective cleaning tips for kitchen appliances.
Before attempting to clean your microwave or oven, simply place an oven- or microwave-safe bowl of water and a few lemon slices in the centre of the appliance. You could also add a glug of white vinegar for extra cleaning power.
Leave it to heat up for about five minutes — long enough to create steam. Leave the door shut whilst the oven or microwave cools down, then use a damp cloth to wipe away stuck-on food and stains.
Make a multi-purpose cleaning solution
You don’t need a million different chemicals or cleaning products to clean your kitchen. Instead, you can make a simple solution that will help you tackle almost all surfaces.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Spray bottle
- Cup of water
- Cup of white vinegar
- Tablespoon of baking soda
- A few drops of dish soap (if you have it)
- Essential oil in a scent you like (if you want to add it)
Put the vinegar and water in the bottle and slowly add the baking soda. It’ll fizz — don’t worry, that’s normal! Then, just add the soap and about 10 drops of the essential oil and give it a shake before using it.
Do a daily reset
The best way to make sure kitchen cleaning doesn’t take an age is to take a ‘little and often’ approach. Taking 10 minutes every evening to put things away, wipe down surfaces and clean grease from your stovetop can make a world of difference.
What’s more, it’ll prevent dirt and stains from setting in — so you won’t need to spend hours scrubbing them away.
Deal with stains immediately
This piece of advice often appears on our lists of cleaning tips. It helps you avoid working unnecessarily hard to get rid of dried stains that would otherwise lift easily.
