Start your spring cleaning regimen in the very heart of your home, the kitchen! The kitchen happens to be one of the most commonly used rooms in the home, so keeping it tidy is a must for Spring cleaning!
Use these easy cleaning hacks for Spring cleaning your Kitchen this season.
Clean Out The Garbage Disposal
Too often, we forget about cleaning the small items in our kitchen like the garbage disposal. To refresh your garbage disposal, pour a cup of ice cubes down the disposal and let it run for about 60 seconds. By doing so, the ice helps break down any leftover residue including grease deposits. You can also freshen things up a bit by running the garbage disposal with slices of lemon or orange.
Organize The Pantry
Keeping your kitchen clean means having a tidy, easy to access pantry. To save space, group similar food items together using mason jars, baskets and labeled bins. For example, common baking ingredients like oats, flour, vanilla and brown sugar can all be stored together. Use these fun and simple storage tricks to get your pantry organized!
Declutter The Refrigerator
Spring cleaning your kitchen is the perfect opportunity to check expiration dates on food items and deep clean the fridge. Start by pitching any old food items and carefully organize the fridge to your liking. Next wipe down the inside of the fridge with a thin layer of baking soda and water. This allows you to avoid harsh chemicals among foods, and you’ll feel much more at ease with a clean, organized fridge.
Deep Clean The Oven
Cleaning your oven is an essential task for Spring cleaning your kitchen. Not only will a nice clean oven leave your kitchen feeling more attractive, but it may even make baking more enjoyable. From self-cleaning your oven to making non-toxic cleaners, check out everything you need to know about regularly cleaning your oven right here.
Wipe Down All Surfaces
Last but not least, finish off spring cleaning your kitchen by wiping down all the surfaces. Wipe down everything including; countertops, cabinets, appliances, walls, tables and chairs, and even the inside of the kitchen sink.
