What can I pay attention to when cleaning my kitchen?
-
Many people regularly clean up. Or they have a spring cleaning. They then clean their kitchen extra thoroughly. Are you going to clean your kitchen too? Check out the 4 tips for cleaning your kitchen.
1. Use a clean dishcloth
-
Always use a clean dishcloth. Dirty, damp dishcloths, kitchen towels and dish sponges are full of bacteria. Tips: Change dishcloths every day. Wash dishcloths at 60 ° C in the (dishwasher) washing machine. This kills the bacteria. Or heat a wet dishcloth in the microwave. Do this for 1 minute on the highest setting. Then let it dry well. First, use kitchen paper on places where it is very dirty. Use clean towels and kitchen towels. And wash used cloths at 60 ° C. Hang out wet cloths so they can dry. Use a washing-up brush and preferably not a washing-up sponge. A lot of bacteria remain in a dish sponge.
2. Use soapy water and hot water, no disinfectant needed
-
Clean your kitchen thoroughly with hot water and a little all-purpose cleaner, white vinegar or washing-up liquid. It is not necessary to use a disinfectant cleaner, such as chlorine or bleach. Disinfectant cleaners are also called antibacterial cleaners because they are made to kill as much bacteria as possible. With such a cleaning agent you also kill good bacteria, so the bacteria that your body needs. If you often use disinfectant cleaners, bacteria can become resistant to the agent, and possibly also to antibiotics. This means that disinfectants or antibiotics no longer work well or at all.

3. Keep the dishwasher clean
-
Does the dishwasher stink? Even though he just played? This is a sign that the dishwasher is no longer clean. The instructions for use of the dishwasher tell you how to best clean the dishwasher. Some tips to get and keep your dishwasher clean: Always remove loose food residues from plates and pans. Food residues make the water in the dishwasher dirty and can clog the filter. Check and clean the filter regularly so that it does not become clogged. Run your machine regularly (once a month) at a high temperature (more than 70 ° C). This causes the bacteria to die. Just before turning on the dishwasher, check that the spray arms can rotate freely. This way, the water jets reach all parts of your dishes and nothing is damaged. Run your dishwasher empty with a machine cleaner to clean and descale your dishwasher from the inside. Vinegar also works well. Also clean the rubbers on the dishwasher door. This can be done with a solution of washing-up liquid and water. Kitchen tools such as a whisk, hand blender or can opener are difficult to clean. So put them in warm soapy water before washing, so that they can soak for a while. Do not store them until they are thoroughly clean and dry.
4. Clean the pantry, fridge and freezer
-
Keeping your pantry, fridge and freezer clean will help prevent contamination with potentially harmful bacteria. Tips: Clean your pantry and kitchen cupboards once every 3 months. It is best to clean the refrigerator once a month with soapy water or soda, and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth. Defrost your freezer once every 3 months. Unplug the appliance and put a container of warm water in it to help the ice melt faster. Clean well with soapy water and hot water. And wipe everything dry with a clean dry cloth.
5. Clean the oven / microwave
-
Prevent your oven or microwave from getting dirty. Because if you don't make a mess, you don't have to scrub. How do you do that? Very simple: use large (oven) dishes or (microwave) containers to put your food in. That way it splashes less. Baking paper is also very useful in the oven. You should first clean a dirty oven or microwave with washing-up liquid or all-purpose cleaner. Then dry everything with a clean, dry cloth. Lemon juice can help loosen dirt and get rid of unpleasant odors. The use of disinfectants is not necessary. Is the dirt really caked on? Then smear it with green soap and leave it overnight. The next day you can scrub it off with a sponge.
