Cleaning the stove

For safety, wait for the stove to cool down before starting the cleaning process. First, remove each part of the stove (if removable) and gently wipe them with a damp cloth and kitchen cleaner. For control knobs, soak them in warm soapy water to make cleaning easier. You should also thoroughly clean the hood system to ensure smooth smoke filtration.

An important note when cleaning the kitchen is to use specialized kitchen cleaner or mild soap, avoiding corrosive substances or ammonia-based products.

Cleaning the microwave

The microwave should be cleaned every few months. Before cleaning, use silver paper to cover metal parts, then spread a mixture of ¼ cup salt, ¾ cup baking soda, and ¼ cup water inside the microwave. Wait for a few hours and then wipe it clean. For the metal rack inside the microwave, remove it and soak it in warm soapy water for a few hours for easy cleaning.. The microwave should be cleaned every few months.

Cleaning the refrigerator

Before cleaning, make sure you have disconnected the refrigerator from the power source. Next, sort out the food and discard any expired or spoiled items.

For the freezer compartment, prepare a solution of 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon soap, and 1 tablespoon lemon. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray it evenly on the surface of the refrigerator, then wipe it dry. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can use a clean cloth or sponge.

For the cooling compartment, use a mixture of baking soda and water for cleaning. Pay attention to thoroughly clean all corners inside the refrigerator, removable shelves, and drawers. After cleaning the entire interior, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and then use a dry cloth to wipe it again. If your refrigerator tends to have unpleasant odors, place a box of baking soda on the middle shelf to absorb the odors.

Sort out the food and discard any expired or spoiled items in the refrigerator.

Cleaning the cabinets and countertops

Similar to the refrigerator, you should discard any expired, moldy, or unused items. Use a damp cloth to thoroughly clean the inside and front of the cabinets, removing dirt, grease, and bread crumbs, then wipe it again with a dry cloth. If you have wooden cabinets, use a dedicated cleaning solution for this type of material.

For the countertops, you need to clean them more frequently. Immediately after cooking, use a sponge soaked in soapy water to clean the surface of the countertops and then wipe it again with a soft cloth. Pay attention to the material of the countertops to choose the appropriate cleaning solution.

Cleaning the sink

The sink is a place where mold and bacteria can easily accumulate. To limit their growth, clean the sink thoroughly and dry it immediately after use. When cleaning the sink, wipe it with warm, diluted soapy water along the edges and then move to the bottom. Next, clean the faucet with an old toothbrush.

If there are stains or dirt, you can easily deal with them using a mixture of 1 part water and 1 part vinegar. If the sink drain is clogged, you can use the following trick: pour vinegar into an ice tray, let it freeze, then place the "vinegar cubes" in the drain and pour boiling water. Repeat this process weekly to remove any dirt stuck in the drain.

Cleaning household appliances

For household appliances such as blenders, juicers, egg beaters, etc., you should refer to the accompanying manual for proper cleaning. If during the cleaning process it is necessary to disassemble each part of the device, remember to reassemble it in the correct position and tighten it for safe operation. Another note is that you need to carefully disconnect all connections to the device's power source before cleaning, to avoid danger.

Mop the house 2-3 times with floor water. Finally, you empty and clean the trash can, turn it upside down, let it dry, line a new plastic bag to continue using.
