Simple cleaning tips to make your home more manageable

The kitchen is the toughest space to clean around the home. If you don’t do the dishes and give your countertop a thorough scrub down almost every day, things can get quite nasty. Cleaning the kitchen does not necessarily have to be like running a marathon. With a little bit of organization and a few handy tips under your belt, you can get your kitchen to look sparkling new in no time at all. Here are a few such tips that will save you the hard labor.

Blender Cleaning Tip

Cleaning your blender can be quite a task. Here is a quick tip that will get you out of the fix. Once you are done using the blender, take it straight to the sink, and pour some water in the jar with a few drops of liquid dish washing soap. Put the blender back and turn it on for 20 seconds. Rinse the water out and you are good to go. No rigorous scrubbing or buffing.

Cleaning Burnt Food on Pan

Ever felt the inclination to throw the pan away, rather than toil endless hours trying to scrub it clean? Well, you are not the only one. Here is a tip that will simplify the task somewhat for you. Pour water and a few drops of lemon juice in the pan. Bring it to a boiling point and allow it to cool completely. Later, scrape the pan clean with your regular cleaning detergent. The citric acid present in the lemon will loosen up the food particles, which makes cleaning easy.

Oven Cleaning Tip

No longer do you have to spend big bucks on a fancy oven cleaning agent or spend hours scrubbing. With this quick tip, cleaning the oven will be a piece of cake. Place a bowl of plain water in the oven and run it on high for 3 to 5 minutes. The steam from the water will loosen up the stubborn grime, making cleaning easy-peasy. Use a paper towel to wipe the surface clean. To deodorize the oven, you can squeeze a few drops of lemon juice to the water. Never thought cleaning could be this easy, did you?

Cleaning the Kitchen Drain

This one is by far the toughest nut to crack. Your daily schedule can get disrupted badly thanks to a clogged sink. Here is what you can do. Pour equal proportion of baking soda and liquid vinegar down the drain. Cover the drain and allow it to foam for a couple of minutes. Later, pour 8 cups of boiling hot water to flush out the solution. It will clear the most sluggish of drains.

Clearing a Sticky Counter

Here is a quick all-purpose cleaner that will take care of the stickiest of surfaces. Pour ½ cup vinegar, ½ cup baking soda and a few drops of dish washing solution in a spray bottle. Shake it well until all the ingredients mix together. Spray it liberally on the sticky surface and let it sit for a few minutes. Later, simply wipe it clean with a fresh towel without scrubbing.

Make it a point to hire a professional cleaning company once a month for that in-depth purging of your home.

Cleaning the kitchen does not necessarily have to be like running a marathon.
