We are in the fourth quarter of the year and normally the kitchen gets used more frequently during these last three months of the year. Whether is local Jacksonville football games (Example: the Florida Gators vs. the Georgia Bulldogs), holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, etc.), or other events (Graduations, weddings, etc.), expect more kitchen utility than the rest of the year. During this time, the kitchen is perhaps the room that sees the heaviest daily traffic, while the biggest and dirtiest furnishings are also located in the kitchen. A thorough cleaning every week will ensure a proper look and more visually pleasant atmosphere for all the family members. From oven cleaning to rearranging the appliances or polishing the kitchen countertop - there are plenty of things to keep in mind. The proper tools and methods for cleaning are also essential if you want to achieve better results.
First, some useful tips and tricks are high on the agenda, especially if you plan the big house cleaning for the short weekend. Save time and efforts by scheduling the cleaning tasks and activities at least a day in advance. Assign specific tasks to each family member to deal with their respective rooms and objects so that you can have more space and time to clean the kitchen. Place all the small objects, kitchen tools and utensils on the countertop or on the table in order to free the cabinets, and meanwhile defrost the freezer and the fridge. Save time by cleaning first the cabinets and while waiting to dry - clean all the items that should get inside the cabinets. The stove and oven cleaning are usually the most difficult parts, but try to decide whether you can deal with it without calling the professional cleaners. Remove all the racks and shelves from the oven and soak them in the kitchen sink. In the meantime, clean all the interior areas of the oven and the stove, and don`t forget the burners. When the fridge and the freezer should be defrosted, until that time, so - clean them next and don`t forget to wipe off dust from the cooling coils as well. Yet the objects mentioned above are only the biggest and usually the dirtiest ones of what`s to come.
The tools you use are another important part of the adventure, because the right tools can save even more time and troubles when cleaning the kitchen. A grooming brush is a common tool for rubbing grout lines and tiles, as well as helps you reach all the small tiny recessed areas, joints and details of the kitchen equipment. A metal brush, on the other hand, is recommended for removing truly persistent and hardened kitchen grease from the metal parts like the oven racks. At least two bowls for the detergents are required while the clean cloths and the sponges are always insufficient, so, get yourself two textile cloths, paper towels and wet wipes. Make sure to get the ones that have a light amount of alcohol, which transforms a simple wipe such as the wet wipe into an awesome tool for cleaning a vast array of stains. The cleaning compounds make no exceptions too:
1) A commercial detergent from the store can help you in numerous situations, so you may want to have one.
2) A protective spray solution plays another major role for the great result after the kitchen cleaning. This spray adds an extra layer of protection to the surfaces to ensure their longer-lasting clean outlook.
3) A waxing compound for marble surfaces and tiles or a sealer for the grout lines are important if you have to deal with some truly soiled stains and blemishes in these areas.
4) A sanitizing agent is one of the most important detergents when deep cleaning the kitchen, especially if you do it more occasionally like once a year or so.
5) A deodorizing spray or just lemon juice are solutions, which can always enhance the entire pleasant and clean atmosphere even more.
In closing, it could be hard to find time to deep clean the kitchen in the midst of many activities taking place during this fourth quarter.
