Hurry up and learn these cleaning tips~

  Kitchen Sink  

The kitchen sink is the place in the kitchen most prone to pooling water and picking up grease. When you wash vegetables, meat, and dishes every day, it's inevitable that dust and grease get left behind. If you don't clean it regularly, it sticks to the sink walls, and after a while you can't scrub it off no matter how hard you try.

 How to Clean 

 Materials 

 Steps 

1. Mix water and baking soda in a 3:1 ratio, pour it into the sink, then add 3 spoonfuls of white vinegar and a small cup of dish soap. Stir well, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with steel wool.

2. The grooved parts of the sink can be scrubbed with a small toothbrush.

 What to Do If the Sink Is Clogged 

A clogged kitchen sink easily pools water and attracts mosquitoes. All you need to do is pour baking soda into the drain, then quickly flush the pipe with hot water, and the problem is solved.

 How to Prevent Clogs 

1. Don't trim vegetables in the sink. The waste produced after trimming vegetables easily clogs the drain, so try to trim the vegetables clean first before rinsing them.

2. Install a filter screen. The kitchen sink drain you buy doesn't come with a filtering device, and once the residue from washing vegetables and dishes gets flushed into the drain, it easily causes clogs, while a filter screen can serve as a barrier.

3. Clean regularly with baking soda + hot water.

 Walls 

When cooking, there's no avoiding hot oil splattering everywhere. Looking at the speckled grease stains on the seemingly clean white walls is really annoying, and sometimes dish soap won't even wipe them off. You can try this method.

 How to Clean 

 Method One 

: Apply dish soap to the wall where there are stubborn grease stains, then stick on a layer of plastic wrap, use a hair dryer on the hot air setting to blow on it for 2-3 minutes, then peel off the plastic wrap and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

 Method Two 

: If the stains aren't too heavy, wiping with the noodle soup left over from cooking noodles can also remove grease stains.

 Preventing Wall Stains 

After cleaning the tile wall in front of the stove, keep it moist and just stick on some plastic wrap. Once the grease accumulates to a certain level, simply peel it off, which is very convenient.

 Floors 

 How to Clean 

 Method One 

: Suitable for tile floors. After wetting the mop and wringing it out, sprinkle laundry detergent on it to clean the kitchen floor, which can quickly and effectively remove grease stains and grime.

 Method Two 

: Suitable for wood floors. Pour hot water on the greasy spots to soften the stains, then pour some white vinegar on the mop to mop the floor. After mopping, you'll find the floor shiny as new.

 Keeping the Floor Dry 

1. After cooking every day, clean the floor once to remove grease and water stains and prevent attracting mosquitoes;

2. For floors that get dirty easily, you can place some desiccant to absorb excess moisture and dampness from the kitchen floor, which also prevents crawling insects.
