3 Quick Kitchen Cleaning Tips You Will Want To Adopt

Avoid Piling Your Sink With Dishes

Wash dishes as you finish using them. 

Don’t wait till you finish cooking to go through that dirty stack of dishes, pots and pans!

An alternative option- pop them in your dishwasher when you know you don’t need to use that chopping board or bowl anymore.

This way, when dinner is ready, all you have to do is wait for the meal to be over, load the family’s dinner plates in and get that load going.

If your current dishwasher is on its last legs or you just haven’t replaced the one that died on you several months ago, consider investing in new dishwasher if sink washing is not your thing.

Put Things Away Immediately!

If you aren’t using a bowl, utensils or that extra chopping board, put it away when your eyes fall upon it.

Don’t wait till you finish all the cooking to do that.

Wipe Down Food Stains and Spills Immediately

Make your own natural cleaning spray with 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about a tsp).

Spray the soiled area and wipe it down with a paper towel.

So much quicker than scraping off hardened food residue!

Sure these tips aren’t anything out of the ordinary, and yes, they’re simple but quickly overlooked.

Adopt all three and you will find yourself less stressed.
