3 residential cleaning tips
There are several residentail cleaning tips, here are some of them;
Sanitize your sink.
Besides regularly wiping down your sink with dish soap or an anti-bacterial spray, our friends at Good Housekeeping say the best way to sanitize a sink after cleaning is to fill it up with warm water and add a tablespoon of bleach. Dip a sponge and use it to wipe down the faucet and handles, then let the bleach sit for a minimum of five minutes. Rinse and let the area air dry.
De-funk your dishwasher.
One way to do this is to fill a dishwasher-safe cup or bowl with white vinegar and place it on the upper rack of your dishwasher. Afterwards, run the (otherwise-empty) dishwasher on the hottest setting. If you don’t like the smell of vinegar, you can also opt to sprinkle one cup of baking soda along the bottom of your dishwasher and rinse on a hot-water cycle instead.
To clean your drain trap, remove and disassemble it and — once it’s apart — use a sponge or toothbrush and dish soap to remove any stuck-on food bits or mold.
Care for your oven
Tackling the spills and splatters in your oven doesn’t have to be a daunting task. While it may be more time-consuming than, say, cleaning your kitchen sink after dinner, there are plenty of tips and tricks to make the process a lot easier.
To start, remove your oven racks and let them sit in dishwashing liquid for an hour before scrubbing with a mild abrasive cleaner if needed. After removing your racks, it’s time to tackle the oven door. First, use a spatula to scrape away any food bits. Then use a store bought oven cleaner or create a paste using baking soda and water. Spread the paste on the oven door and let sit for no more than 20 minutes before wiping clean.
