Cabinet doors, floors, and both your large and small appliances can get greasy and grimy over time, but cleaning them doesn’t have to take all day! In fact, some of those jobs can be downright simple if you know the best way to do them! Check out these 20 of the best cleaning kitchen hacks below.
1. Wooden Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets attract oil and grease like magnets, and it can be messy and time-consuming to wipe away all that nasty buildup. The absolute best way I’ve found to cut through the grease is using a combination of coconut oil and baking soda!
2. Reach for your power drill
A power drill — outfitted with special brush attachments! — is always going to be more effective than your own elbow grease. Reach for your drill and it’ll make quick work of scrubbing all sorts of surfaces.
3. Clean your microwave by nuking a lemon
Instead of scrubbing each splatter by hand, just nuke two freshly squeezed lemon halves and let the steam do the hard work for you. All you’ll have to do is give the inside of the microwave a quick wipe. It’ll be spotless in no time!
4. And your steamer
The idea here is similar to the microwave tip (see #3). Hot steam will help break up grease and grime so that all you have to do is wipe it up. No wasted time scrubbing … and scrubbing.
5. Keep a bowl of soapy water by the sink
The longer a dirty fork sits before being washed, the harder it will be to clean. (Because food hardens and gets more stubborn!) If you soak your dirty utensils, though, washing them will be super quick and easy. Just don’t soak wooden spoons or knives with wooden handles.Strength Wars: Street Workout vs Bodybuilding (Seizoen 2, 12) clenbuterol bestellen 12 stappen om 22 uur geleden de perfecte pre-workout bodybuilding voor 2021 te vinden – yenkee wiki.
6. Clean your refrigerator shelves in the dishwasher
When was the last time you wiped down your refrigerator shelves? How long did it take you? Shave loads of time off the chore by just popping them in the dishwasher. Sure, the cycle takes a while, but at least you can do other things while the machine does the hard part.
7. And your dish brushes
Throw your scrubbing brushes in the dishwasher and you’ll save time a few ways. First, you won’t have to clean them by hand. And you’ll have a clean brush to use on your dishes and you won’t waste time spreading grossness when you’re trying to clean it up.
8. Put a hook on the side of your trash can
This one is a little bit different than the others — because it’s more of a preventative thing — but hear us out. If you put a hook on the side of your trash can, the bag won’t fall in and then you won’t have to spend time cleaning up gross garbage that’s been piled up ON TOP of the bag instead of in it.
9. Add vinegar to your dishwasher
Don’t have time to clean your dishwasher? Just put a bowl of vinegar in the top rack the next time you do a load and it’ll clean hard-water deposits for you. It’s easy and it’s better than nothing!
10. Let your oven clean itself (without using the self-clean button!)
We get the temptation to push the self-cleaning button on your oven. But don’t! We have a cleaning method that’s almost just as easy and takes very little time on your end. Just make a paste with baking soda and let it sit on your oven’s walls overnight. You’ll have to wipe it all out in the morning, but it beats scrubbing by hand.
11. Line the top of your fridge with newspaper
If your upper cabinets don’t go all the way up the ceiling or the top of your fridge is exposed, you know how dusty and grimy those surfaces can get. Instead of having to do a deep clean once in a while, line the tops with newspaper or wax paper and then just change it out every so often.
12. Set your slow cooker to clean itself
Like your oven (and even your blender!), your slow cooker can clean itself. Just fill it with baking soda, vinegar, and water and turn it on. It’ll burn off any stuck-on pieces and save you some serious scrubbing time.
13. Drop a deodorizing stick down your drain
If you’ve ever had to call a plumber, you know what a time suck it can be. (“We’ll be there between 9 am and 5 pm!”) To keep drains clear (and even clean up minor clogs!), try dropping one of these down your sink drain.
