The sink, sponge, cloth and cooking surfaces need regular attention because they come into contact with food every day.
21. Clean The Sink Regularly
The kitchen sink comes into contact with food scraps, dirty utensils and water throughout the day.
Clean the basin, drain area and surrounding edges regularly.
Do not allow food particles to collect around the drain.
22. Give Your Kitchen Cloths Separate Jobs
Do not use one cloth for everything.
The cloth used to wipe the hob should not automatically become the cloth used for plates or food-preparation surfaces.
Keep separate washable cloths for different tasks.
23. Dry Wet Cloths Properly
Never leave a wet kitchen cloth crumpled beside the sink.
Rinse it, wring it out and hang it open so it can dry properly.
Wash reusable cloths regularly and replace them when they become difficult to clean.
24. Clean Refrigerator Handles
The refrigerator handle is touched many times throughout the day.
Yet it is often forgotten during cleaning.
Wipe handles and other frequently touched surfaces regularly.
25. Clean The Mixer-Grinder Immediately
Chutney, batter and masala become much harder to remove once they dry.
Rinse the mixer jar soon after use.
Clean the lid and removable parts separately.
Never immerse the motor base in water.
26. Check The Mixer Lid
The underside of the mixer lid can collect small amounts of food.
Remove detachable parts if the manufacturer allows it.
Clean and dry them before putting the appliance back together.
27. Look After The Pressure-Cooker Gasket
The rubber gasket can collect food residue and odours.
Clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check it regularly for cracks, hardening or other signs of wear.
Replace it when necessary.
28. Keep The Pressure-Cooker Vent Clear
The steam-release opening should never be ignored.
Food residue can block it.
Clean the vent and other components according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use unsuitable sharp objects to clear it.
29. Wipe The Hob Every Day
Oil and masala splashes are much easier to remove while fresh.
Let the hob cool first.
Then clean the surface and removable components as recommended by the manufacturer.
Avoid allowing several days of grease to build up.
30. Clean The Chimney Regularly
An Indian kitchen chimney can collect significant amounts of oil, especially if you fry frequently.
The required cleaning schedule depends on the filter type and how often you cook.
Do not wait until the filter becomes heavily clogged.
Small Cleaning Jobs Prevent Big Ones
The easiest kitchen cleaning is usually the cleaning you do before dirt becomes difficult.
A quick wipe today is often easier than a deep scrub next week.
That is the real trick.
