Your kitchen experiences a lot in a week between spills from normal use and cooking messes, dirty dishes, and cooking messes. In addition to being where you prepare your meals, it is probably one of the most often used rooms in the house, making routine cleaning even more crucial. Cleaning every surface in your kitchen on a regular basis can be difficult, especially if you’re pressed for time, whether it’s a coffee-stained counter or a burner covered in sauce. You can degrease, deodorize, and sterilize your kitchen in less time by using these DIY cleaning tips. See more here suggestions to mix up your usual cleaning schedule and keep your kitchen spotless.

 

Clean the oven rack.

 

Not only for laundry, powder detergent is available. Your oven racks can be restored to their former glory without scraping (and possibly scratching!) by soaking in a bathtub of powdered laundry detergent. Remove it and rinse it with clean water after letting it sit for at least four hours.

 

Keep the fragrance of your disposal fresh.

 

Few things are as repulsive as an unpleasant garbage disposal. Use one of our favorite cleaning tips for the kitchen sink to fix that: lemon ice cubes. Simply add rock salt, water, and lemon slices to an ice cube tray to make them. Once frozen, run your garbage disposal until all of the ice is gone after dropping the cubes down the drain. Ice helps remove any filth and grime as rock salt cleanses the blades. The lemon keeps the smell of your sink fresh.

 

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can be used to restore aging baking trays.

 

The powerful combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can clean more than just your sinks and bathtub. Even the most damaged baking sheets can be restored to look brand new. Simply sprinkle baking soda on your sheet, follow that with a few sprays of hydrogen peroxide, and then add one more layer of baking soda. Return a few hours later to clean your repaired baking sheets.

 

Use vinegar and lemon oil to polish woodwork.

 

Do you prefer using natural cleansers over commercial ones? This homemade wood polish leaves a wonderful fragrance and a shiny finish. To make it, combine one part lemon oil and one part white vinegar in a spray bottle. Use a dry microfiber cloth sprayed with the cleaning solution to wipe down the baseboards, pantry door, and cabinets.

 

While you sleep, clean the oven.

 

Don’t use auto-clean. The fire alarm is frequently triggered by this high-temperature oven setting, and it can also make your kitchen smell bad. Instead, dispense a DIY solution composed of 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 1/2 cup water in a spray bottle. Remove the grates once the oven has cooled, then spray the interior with the solution, being careful to keep the heating elements out of the mix. For up to 12 hours, shut the door and go to sleep while the solution does its magic. Clean the oven with soapy water when you awaken, then dry with a soft towel.

 

Clean out cabinets using your vacuum.

 

Use your vacuum to clear out cabinets as another cleaning tip for kitchen cabinets. Try using the vacuum brush attachment to quickly suck up crumbs rather than wasting time trying to remove them with a cloth. Using this cleaning method also transforms pantry shelves.

 

Use oil to clean your range hood.

 

Your range hood is a grease magnet, and as dust accumulates over time, it becomes more difficult to remove with regular sprays. Utilizing vegetable oil is one of the best cleaning tricks for kitchen stoves. Grime can be removed from a surface by adding a few drops to a cloth or paper towel and wiping it clean.

 

Your range hood filter in water

 

The filter on the hood vent of your stove can quickly become filthy, oily, and unpleasant. Boiling water with 1/2 cup baking soda added gradually will clean it. The filter should then be placed in the pot to soak. In case the complete filter won’t fit in your pot, soak each side individually. After cleaning one side, flip the filter over and let the other side soak. Use gloves if you can because it will be hot!

 

Use a toothbrush to clean the disposal guard in your sink.

 

Without your knowledge, food scraps can accumulate on the underside of the garbage disposal guard of your sink. Brush with an anti-grease solution while the flap is inside out. To remove any food debris, move the toothbrush around the guard.
