Complete kitchen cleaning

Your kitchen witnesses a lot of action every day while cooking and meal preparation like oil and grease spillage, food particles slipping under stove, boiling milk overflowing from the pan, veggie getting stuck in sink during rinse, microwave walls getting splashed with curry while heating and the countless tough stains. This hidden dirt and grime that gets collected over time in your kitchen invites pests and germs. Therefore it is very important to deep clean the kitchen from time to time. There are some easy deep cleaning tips to keep your kitchen tidy that you can follow.

Deep cleaning is a step forward from regular cleaning. Routine kitchen cleaning usually involves few basic tasks like mopping floor, wiping work station and stove, brushing the exterior of appliances and other teeny-tiny scrubbing chores. But deep cleaning of kitchen is an extensive process where every corner, item, area and appliance in the kitchen is cleaned thoroughly.

Here are 6 deep cleaning tips to keep your kitchen tidy, germ-free, spotless and smell-free:

Start with your grease coated gas stove

Stove Cleaning Tips

Wipe off the gas stove top with a kitchen cleaner to remove tough stains. Remove the burners and clean them with warm water and detergent. Use a fine toothbrush to clean them precisely.

Sparkle the appliances inside-out

Oven cleaning Tips

Wipe all your appliances like refrigerator, microwave, oven, toaster, juicer-mixer-grinders inside out.
