A clean kitchen brings positive energy, good health and hygiene and makes cooking more enjoyable. Start by making sure, firstly that your kitchen has good lighting so messes and dirt is visible.
Don’t wait for the mess to pile up! That's tiring. Wash pots or dishes, wipe spills and put away things as you go along.
A quick swipe of the counters and stove many times day keeps grease, crumbs, and stains in check -- the longer you wait to wipe down, the tougher it gets.
Don’t forget to scrub down the sink and its drain too. After you have finished the dishes, remove food debris, scrub and disinfect it and leave it sparkling clean.
One a daily basis get rid of the garbage to prevent bad smells, worms and bacteria buildup. Use trash bags and clean the kitchen bin as and when it gets dirty.
Store food items in clean air tight container, toss out expired items, and clean up spills to avoid unwanted surprises.
Waste and spills can make the kitchen floor dirty and slippery. Sweep daily and mop at least thrice a week to maintain cleanliness.
Change your sponges often. Wash kitchen towels regularly. Do the same for your cutting boards and make sure your cutting board for meat is separate from the vegetable and fruit board. Raw meat has bacteria that should not get onto your vegetables/fruit.
