Cleaning the Kitchen’s Most Forgotten Areas
Even if you regularly clean your kitchen, you’re still a human, so chances are there are a few places you’ve overlooked. Or perhaps you are aware that you need to clean them but keep putting it off. In any case, this is the ideal time to take care of those frequently neglected kitchen spaces for your next residential cleaning job.
Cabinet Fronts and Baseboards
Use a microfiber cloth dampened with a solution of water and castile soap, which is milder than dish soap and gentle enough for cleaning wood, on the fronts of your cabinets, the baseboards, and the trim. You can also use the same soap-and-water mixture to clean the inside of your cabinets while you’re at it. Your cabinets probably don’t look dirty, but if you run a paper towel over them, you’ll see how much dust and splatters have accumulated.
Under the Stove and Refrigerator
Cleaning underneath appliances should be done at least once a year. Use an under-appliance duster, which is described as a large, long blade made of plastic with a microfiber sleeve to collect crumbs and dust, to avoid having to completely remove the refrigerator or stove.
Dishwasher
Fortunately, dishwashers are simple to maintain. Pour a cup of vinegar into the dishwasher’s interior (not on the door, underneath where the racks slide in), then run an empty, dish-free cycle. Any accumulated mineral deposits are broken up by the vinegar. One of the areas where it accumulates the most is the spray nozzle. Use a toothpick to remove it. If you have a filter, which is typically also on the dishwasher floor, remove it, give it a gentle scrub with a brush, then rinse it and replace it. The dishwasher will operate more effectively and last longer if it is cleaned every few months.
