Today’s kitchens are a breeze to keep clean, if you know a few simple tips for cleaning ceramic, stainless steel and other hard, reflective surfaces.



Simple and Clean Routine for Kitchen Cleaning

Start with the right cleaners for the surfaces in your kitchen. Kitchen cleaning products that are perfect for stainless steel can harm marble or tile, and vice versa. Citrus based cleaners are great for freshening, for instance, but shouldn’t be used on your dishwasher or refrigerator. Some contain petroleum distillates which can deteriorate the rubber gaskets that seal them tight.

Cleaning Tile is much easier if you do a little prevention first. Tile grout is porous material – any liquid cleaner will soak right through, leaving the stains behind. Make sure that your tile and grout is sealed with a high quality sealant to prevent stains from darkening the grout. Once the grout is sealed, all you need to keep the tile sparkling is a quality cleaner .

Removing Tough Stains from most hard surfaces can be surprisingly easy if you know how to do it. Believe it or not, shaving cream is a great stain remover. Rub it onto the stain and let it sit for about 20 minutes, then wipe away.

For Regular Cleaning, use a spray cleaner for most surfaces. Spray it on, let it sit for five minutes or so, then wipe it clean. Avoid using abrasives on any highly polished surface – it will leave tiny scratches on metal or in the finish of porcelain, ceramic or tile that will collect dirt and germs.

Stainless Steel Sinks and Cooktops need special care. For tough stains on the stove, start off by soaking the stain with some boiling water. Just pour the water on to cover, let it sit and soften, then wipe away as much as you can. If you need to scrub, a soft abrasive cleaning product won’t damage the shiny finish.

Cleaning Tile Walls and Appliances is much easier if you use a foaming cleaner with ‘scrubbing bubbles’. Liquid cleaners drip down the surface, usually leaving streaks behind. A foaming cleaner clings to the vertical surface, giving it time to break down grease and lift off dirt.

Refrigerators can harbor odors left behind from food particles. Empty the fridge and use that foam cleaner on the inside walls, and don’t forget to get under the rubber gasket around the door.

Stains in your microwave? Half fill a teacup with water and put it in to boil. The boiling water will steam-clean the walls, making it easy to wipe them down with a basic spray cleaner .

Don’t forget the walls and woodwork. Cooking odors can linger because the fine grease particles cling to walls and catch dirt and germs. Wash the walls down with foaming cleaner and use a good room deodorizer for smoke smells.
