Cheap and Easy Steps to a Cleaner Kitchen

Wipe stove down after each meal. It is easy to forget to wipe down your stove's surface after cooking a meal. You are in a hurry to get your family's meal on the table, and when you return to the kitchen you are in a hurry to get things put away so that you can rest. Why not go ahead and clean your stove top before sitting down to eat your meal. This will help you keep from having to scrub dried food off the stove top later on.

Degrease at end of day. Even if you've wiped up all spills during the day, grease and oils from the food pop out and spot up your stove top and surrounding areas. You can likely find a film of oil on top of your hooded vent and on surrounding counters, as well. When you go to wipe these away, though, the oil usually smears across your stove top and counters, leaving a film that dulls out the shine. Use dish detergent to remove this filmed over dullness and then rinse to reveal the shine.

Clean oven once a month. It's easy to think that you will wipe up right away any spills that occur in your stove's oven, but the truth is that this will not likely happen because the oven is still hot when you can easily wipe up any spills. Once the oven cools and you remember to go back for wiping, the food has usually dried from the heat left in the oven, sometimes baking the food onto your oven's surface. Even worse, each time you use your oven after that, the food continues to bake on your oven's surface, creating an even harder food coating for you to remove. So, what can you do about this?
