I know every women in the world wants to see their kitchen clean and fresh smelled, so do I. I have witnessed many people try to use strong cleaners and most of them enhanced with bleach which is harmful for our lungs, for our skin and etc. Here is few tips what you can do and how can you keep it under control when you have less time in our busy world. It works for me and I enjoy a lot when I'm at home and see my kitchen clean, sanitized and fresh like new home! I feel comfortable when my family including my pets adore being in the clean and fresh like flower kitchen!
-- Never use strong cleaners, especially with bleach unless it's your new home and after cleaning it you won't use kitchen for a week.
-- Always open a window (if you've one in your kitchen) for an hour mornings and 3 hours evenings, especially when you cook, and when you clean.
-- Keep potted indoor plants which doesn't need direct sun light, like bamboo, in your kitchen.
-- If you've disposal (I hate disposal and never shall have one in my kitchen, it's wasting of water and environment) use lemon to keep it clean and fresh. Once a month cut 1 lemon into 3-4 pieces and throw it to disposal, open the cold water and turn on disposal. Let it works for 10 minutes then turn it off and let cold water runs for 10 minutes more, and whola!!!
-- Microwave also need to be cleaned once a week. Cut lemon into 2 halves, add one half into microwave safe bowl dish and add water. Put it into microwave and set it 2 minutes high heat, then wipe clean with damp cloth, if it's necessary repeat one more time then clean. Always remember to keep microwave door 5 minutes open after use.
-- Floor need to be sprayed and washed with damp cloth once a week.
-- Clean your stove and oven after every use with damp cloth, but when it's already cool. Never touch the stove or oven when it's hot!
-- If you can turn off your refrigerator for a week it will save you money and it'll work better and shall have long life. In a year 2 times your refrigerator better be off and clean it when it's off with damp cloth thoroughly (you can rest by this way for not cooking 2 weeks in a year ;-) ).
-- Counter tops need to be cleaned everyday with damp cloth. Once a week sanitize it with antibacterial wipes after cleaning with soapy water and cloth.
-- Try to use small garbage bins and use light colour liners, instaed of black and brown colours, because dark colours attract bugs, especially cockroaches.
-- Recycle!!! Do you know why people use big bins? It's because they don't recycle. Average families with 4 persons have to have 4 litres trash per week if they recycle.
-- Always recycle glass, metal, especially plastics, plastic bags, paper, cardboard, bulbs, old clothes, old and broken furnitures and so on.. Do you know that when we recycle we save our environment, our mother nature, our atmosphere, air we breathe? When we recycle it's being used less energy for making same products too, which means we save water for future.
-- When you buy cleaning supplies read ingredients they used to make it and try to prefer Eco friendly products in you household. It is good for you and it is good for environment! Read instructions too, because you have to know is that product you purchase is safe for your family health?
I Hope These Tips will be Useful as They're For Me!!!
