This ultimate kitchen cleaning guide will provide you with tips and tricks to keep every corner of your kitchen spotless. We recommend using our range of kitchen cleaning products to help you achieve the best results.

1. Daily Cleaning Habits

To maintain a clean kitchen, incorporate these daily habits into your routine:

• Wipe Down Surfaces: After each meal preparation, wipe down countertops, stovetops, and tables with a disinfectant spray or a damp cloth. This prevents the build-up of grime and bacteria.
• Clean Dishes Immediately: Instead of letting dishes pile up, wash them right after use. Alternatively, load them into the dishwasher straight away.
• Empty the Bin: Take out the rubbish daily to avoid unpleasant odours and potential pest problems.

2. Weekly Deep Cleaning Tasks

Some areas require a more thorough cleaning once a week:

• Clean Appliances: Give your kitchen appliances a good wipe. Use the Care+Protect Degreaser Spray,Microwave Degreaser and hob degreaser to remove grease and grime from your oven, microwave, and stovetop. This powerful spray cuts through tough stains, leaving your appliances gleaming.
• Sanitise Sink and Drain: Sprinkle baking soda in the sink, followed by vinegar, to create a fizzing action that cleans and deodorises. Use a brush to scrub around the sink and rinse thoroughly.
• Mop the Floor: Sweep and mop the kitchen floor to remove dirt and spills. Use a mild detergent suitable for your floor type.

3. Monthly Maintenance

Once a month, tackle these tasks to keep your kitchen in top shape:

• Descale Kettles and Coffee Makers: Use the Care+Protect Descaler to remove limescale build-up in your kettle and coffee maker. This product ensures your appliances run efficiently and prolongs their lifespan.
• Clean the Fridge: Remove all items from your fridge and wipe down the shelves with a mixture of water and baking soda. Dispose of expired food and organise the contents for easy access after cleaning thoroughly with our rapid action hygienic cleaner.
• Polish Stainless Steel: Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to polish appliances like fridges, ovens, and dishwashers. The Care+Protect Stainless Steel Spray leaves a streak-free shine and protects against fingerprints and smudges.

4. Tackling Tough Spots

For those stubborn spots that require extra attention:

• Oven Cleaning: Apply the Care+Protect Oven and Grill Cleaner to tackle baked-on grease and food residue. Let it sit for the recommended time before scrubbing and wiping clean.
• Dishwasher Maintenance: Ensure your dishwasher runs smoothly with the Care+Protect Dishwasher Cleaner. This product removes grease and limescale, keeping your dishwasher in optimal condition.
• Microwave Messes: Heat a bowl of water with lemon slices in the microwave for a few minutes. The steam will loosen food splatters, making it easy to wipe clean.

5. Eco-Friendly Tips

Incorporating eco-friendly practices into your kitchen cleaning routine is beneficial for both your home and the environment:

• Natural Cleaners: Use natural cleaning agents like vinegar, Eco multi surface degreaser and lemon juice. They are effective and safe for use around food.
• Reusable Cloths: Replace disposable wipes with reusable cloths or sponges. Wash them regularly to maintain hygiene.
• Water Conservation: Be mindful of water usage when cleaning. Fill the sink or use a bowl to rinse instead of running the tap continuously.
