As the holidays are approaching, this would be a great time to deep clean the kitchen appliances and get the kitchen ready for frequent activities. Jacksonville has a few great cleaning services, but sometimes we may want to do the cleaning ourselves. Here are some tips on how to clean some of the more challenging appliances in the kitchen. Cleaning kitchen appliances is not an easy task, but prepared with the right strategy it does not have to be harder than it is. With a little knowledge and patience, you can also be a kitchen cleaning pro in no time!
We’ll tackle one of the most time consuming appliances to clean. The stove should be high on the list, as you may have to deal with a heavily stained gas stove, electric stove, or with a stove that you keep outdoors in the garden. One of the most important things is to schedule the cleaning for at least a few hours or maybe for a half day in some specific cases, for example, if you have to deal with two stoves. The stove(s) should be the first thing you clean in the kitchen. Take your free time and don`t rush, because the stove is usually one of the dirtiest objects in the kitchen and you risk to make a bigger mess if you clean the stove at the very end of the kitchen cleaning. The professional cleaning services are recommended for big and heavy stoves, as well as with very persistent stains of kitchen grease, dried dirt, discoloration of the surfaces and other blemishes. Or else, fine clean with simple homemade solutions or with a commercial detergent from the store. You may need a metal or a very stiff brush for wiping off the dirt from the burner grit of a gas stove. A few paper towels are required for polishing the metal surfaces, while a sponge soaked up in a homemade solution of baking soda, hot water, dishwashing detergent and rubbing alcohol should play a great role for dissolving even the hard stains. Clean by rubbing with the sponge and finish with a special polishing compound for metal surfaces, which will add another layer of protection to repel future stains and dirt. In the meantime, put the burner grit in a large bowl or right in the sink, in hot water with a low percentage of the cleaning detergent. Rub the grit with a sponge and with the stiff brush, then blot in the compound and rinse with hot water to eliminate all residues of the dislodged dirt and the chemical compounds of the detergent.
The fridge and the freezer are the next highlight when home cleaning by yourself. They need a little bit more time for fine cleaning due to their quite larger dimensions and many different surfaces with complex details, fragile parts, trays, hinges and doors. Yet that`s only in the interior side of the fridge and the freezer. Begin the task by defrosting the fridge and the freezer. Wipe off any excessive amount of water by rinsing a cotton towel in a bowl or via clean sponge. After a few hours, turn the empty and lighter fridge in order to get a better access to the cooling coils on the backside of the fridge. Just a couple of passes with a soft paper towel should be enough, but if there is a lot of dirt, dust or even spider webs - a great tip is to use a flexible duster with electrostatically charged fibers. Then, clean all the inner compartments and detachable items with a usual dishwashing detergent. For the hardest stains - you can even soak the items in hot water and detergent for a few hours to soak and completely dislodge the dirt. Rinse with water and blot dry with a clan towel, a sponge or paper towels.
The oven cleaning is another delicate part of the kitchen cleaning, which requires some fine methods as well as hard rubbing and soaking up in detergents. Remove all the trays and racks, and let them soak in a mix of hot water, baking soda and dishwashing detergent. Then, some hard rubbing with a stiff brush or with a sponge might be needed for a complete removal of the dirt from the metal surfaces. While waiting for the metal racks and trays to naturally dry, let`s get started with the inner parts of the oven.
