Have you been planning to stock up on kitchen supplies such as sponges, cleaning agents, and sanitizers since forever, but you’re struggling to decide which ones you should get? When in doubt, check what cleaning products Kansas City local house cleaning services like to use and recommend. That should give you a rough idea of how to keep bacteria at bay and ensure your kitchen countertops stay spotless.
That said, kitchen countertops are not the only part of the kitchen in need of regular maintenance. Kitchen appliances come into direct contact with food as well, so they too should be properly cleaned after each use (or at least fairly regularly). Some of the appliances may require specialty cleaners, while others can be cleaned using basic cleaning supplies you already keep close at hand.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the cleaning products and tools every modern-day kitchen should have in stock:
What are the basic cleaning agents you must-have in the kitchen?
These include the following:
- Dish soap. In the land of cleaning there’s nothing more basic than the good old dish soap and hot water combination. These two get things done every time they join forces — whether they’re to dissolve grease in the kitchen sink, bring your stainless steel back to life, or put up a fight against soap scum in the bathroom.
- All-purpose cleaner. Every kitchen needs one of these in its collection. Why, you ask? For starters, it’s nice to be able to clean practically anything with only one cleaning agent, without having to rack your brain for a special product to use. Not having to spend money on fifty different cleaning products is an added bonus. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also save significant space in your cleaning cabinet if you purchase a good multi-purpose cleaner for your home.
- White vinegar. We spoke about white vinegar many times before, most recently in our previous blog. This amazing multifaceted product can be used for cleaning and disinfecting various surfaces such as countertops, sink, drain, even a refrigerator’s water dispenser. It can dissolve clogs and soap scum, it’s safe and eco-friendly. A true gem among basic household products.
- Baking soda. Similar to white vinegar, baking soda is another basic household product celebrated for its many uses. Famous for its mildly abrasive properties, it removes stains even from some of the more sensitive surfaces. On top of that, baking soda neutralizes funky odors and can bring back that lost shine to your silver.
Environmental issues should be taken quite seriously, so we’d recommend purchasing a “green” cleaning agent whenever possible, to keep your home and our planet safe from harsh chemicals.
What cleaning tools should I keep handy in my kitchen?
- Microfiber cloth. A favorite cleaning tool of every professional cleaner, microfiber cloth is essential to keeping a clean home. It works well on any surface, cleaning without leaving a trace.
- Mop. Use a mop to quickly clean up spills from the kitchen floor.
- Rubber gloves. Protect your skin — use gloves when washing the dishes or cleaning surfaces, to avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals.
