Even the most meticulous amongst us can forget to target these key kitchen areas while cleaning. You mop the floor before you stick to it and give the oven a good clean a few times a year. You’re no stranger to rubber gloves and antibac spray.
You’re on top of things. No one’s calling the council. But even in the best-run homes , there are parts of the kitchen that can get easily overlooked in our regular cleaning .
The good news is that it requires little extra effort in our daily or weekly routines to keep them pristine. Lots of the tasks I describe here are what I call “while the kettle boils jobs”; that is, you can do them in the time it takes to boil water. There is no white-glove test here, it’s not about perfection, more about creating a kitchen that’s a safe, efficient and enjoyable place to be.
We often talk about the kitchen being the heart of the home – and it often is – but what it also is, is the engine. All good things flow from there. Here’s how to tune it up so it runs as smoothly and happily as possible.
