Define the scope of work

First you need to see what in general we have in the kitchen. Yah?- you will say - As if I do not know! This is my kitchen!

It's not about how much you know your kitchen, but how to clean out properly to save what you have there. The kitchen is usually equipped with:

• Gas or electric stove;
• Refrigerator;
• with kitchen furniture;
• Breadbasket;
• Microwave;
• Steamer;
• Trash Bin;
• Sink;
• Cabinet for folding wet dishes after washing;
• Dishwasher;
• Hood;
• Gas column( not at all, but often);
• Kitchen table.

What we use in the kitchen:

• Teapot;
• Meat grinder;
• Appliances;
• Pots and pans;
• Cutting boards;
• Various utensils( grater, pots, rollers);
• All sorts of bowls, bottles and jars.

Proper care for all these things - it's more than once a month, the general cleaning of the kitchen "with blood and sweat", when you drape all the surfaces to green eyes in the eyes. Proper daily cleaning in the kitchen consists of small, lightweight activities.

Important! Until now, you can hear this phrase from our grandparents: "It's not where they clean it, but where they do not litter."First of all, this applies to the kitchen, because when cooking on the surfaces remain grease and soot, and after eating the plates and appliances are usually not clean. If you wash it all at once - you will avoid general cleaning in general.

Proper care of the kitchen every day

Inspect your possessions always after you have used the kitchen. Daily cleaning of the kitchen, whatever one may say, is necessary - in order to avoid heavy general cleaning afterwards. Then start acting. Here you will find useful tips, described below.

Gas and / or electric cooker

Cleaning the kitchen always begins with it and this is the usual and frequent problem of most housewives. Nothing prevents you from wiping it immediately after cooking. Then nothing will dry up, it will not get cold, it will not penetrate. And the stove is always clean!

Refrigerator

When you put there flowing cellophane bags with raw meat and fish, cottage cheese, juicy fruits and other leaking food. Or when there are leftovers of food without adequate sealing, you can be sure - when you open the refrigerator door you and your guests will be struck by an unpleasant odor. I'm getting drunk.

To clean the refrigerator is not time consuming, and the unit itself worked at full capacity, observe the following rules:

1. Buy plastic boxes and put the remains of food in them.
2. Fruit immediately wash and fold in them.
3. Curd and other dairy products - in them.
4. Meat and fish - right into the freezer, if you do not have to cook them now. If you then do not like to defrost - again the boxes to help.
5. If something has failed, wipe it off immediately. Make sure that the strongly smelling products are firmly and hermetically sealed.
6. Do not store food for long. If you have not eaten in time - throw it away.

Kitchen furniture

1. Store only clean items there, as dust often accumulates there.
2. Do not pile dishes and dishes.
3. Make sure that everything is easy to reach and wipe the shelves.
4. Every day, passing over the external surfaces of furniture with a damp cloth, you will always save its nice appearance and cleanliness.

Important! Usually in the kitchen there is a window and, accordingly, a window sill. Every day, wipe the dust off the windowsill, because it is from there that usually the dust migrates into the room.

Bakery

We have long been keeping bread as we are selling it - in cellophane bags. However, there is an opinion that bread should "breathe", and many people get rid of bags and store bread in the breadbox without anything. In this case, do not interfere with something to podstelit and often this "something" shake out of crumbs.

Important! Do not store together with the old bread fresh, otherwise fresh in a short time will have the smell of the old.

Microwave or microwave

Food flavors will not be there to live and mix with each other, if wiped in with a damp cloth immediately after use and leave the door open.

Steamer

The same as with the stove - wash immediately after cooking.

Trash Bin

Wash the garbage can after each removal of garbage. Then smells of scum will not interrupt the smells of food. Packages for garbage often flow, many, without noticing it, cover the new one and the bucket begins to exude the "fragrance".No matter how funny it sounds, but often it happens. When the smell of the trash can starts chasing you around the apartment, cleaning in the kitchen becomes an obsession.

Important! By the way, for economy and for ecology you can use not only special packages for garbage, but also those that you bring from a supermarket. They are quite roomy and dense.

Sink

Sink will always be good to pass water, if you put a mesh on the drain. And if you clean it after every dishwashing, then the sink will not unpleasantly smell. Also, we often hide a trash can under the sink, so this place is one of the dirtiest in the kitchen and needs to be washed often using chemical means.

Cabinet for folding wet ware after washing

Specific, however, the place. Because if from the container, where the water flows, do not pour the water in time, you can also collect the mold and then collect it to make penicillin. About penicillin, of course, a joke. But the water, after you have removed already dry dishes and folded into place, it is better to immediately pour out of that container and wipe it with a dry cloth.

Dishwasher

After use, immediately remove the shelves from the inside and wipe them with a dry cloth. Then slide the shelves in place and do not close for a while.

Hood

After cooking, wipe with a detergent for dishes from soot and grease. If you are not much afraid, then take the means with which the plate is washed from the aged fat. There are people who, in general, "Domestos" wipe off the sticky surfaces in the kitchen.

Gas column

It simply needs to be cleaned from time to time from dust, but if it is close to the stove, it is better to do the same procedure as with the hood.

Kitchen table

Immediately after use, it must be cleaned and wipe dry.

Important! Naturally, what we use, when we cook and eat, requires constant and correct care. But, rather, not because it will quickly deteriorate, but because it will all be washed, but then it will be much harder to do it.

Kettle

No one ever pays special attention to him until he "grunts", that is, he does not break. Then you go and just buy a new one. And why wait until your kettle is out of order? Just keep it clean. The teapot also accumulates dust, and it just needs to be wiped every day with a damp cloth, then with a dry cloth. And periodically pour vinegar or at least "Cola" to remove the scum.

Meat grinder

After use, clean, wash, dry, fold, preferably in the correct order.

Devices

The utensils should always be washed immediately after eating, then you do not have to scrape up the accumulated raid from food and drinks during the spring cleaning. And after washing dishes do not interfere with wiping all surfaces around the sink.

Pots and pans

Pots, pans, and various utensils( graters, spoons, rolls) - immediately wash after use, and wipe the cutting boards immediately after use.

By the way, it is desirable not to wash the boards, and if to wash, then not always - they are wooden and absorb water. After that, the tree softens, and the boards become unusable. All sorts of bowls, boxes, bottles, cans to throw out immediately without regrets, when they are no longer washed away from the smells.

Important! Do not forget about the floor and walls in the kitchen. Cleaning the kitchen involves, among other things, cleaning these interior details. When you have all washed, folded, wipe the walls and floor. It is also desirable to open the refrigerator door. If there is not enough time on the floor, then just sweep up the garbage, and wash the next time.

If daily cleaning in the kitchen is perceived by you as the final stage of cooking, and you take this as a rule, then when the "kitchen day" comes, you will get rid of it very quickly and it will only turn you into a couple of hours.

To make it easier and faster, mentally divide the kitchen into zones, and then proceed as follows:
