We've said it before... kitchens are often the heart of the home, therefore experience a lot of traffic. High traffic in the kitchen = sticky work surfaces, smudged stainless steel or crumbs on the floor. And that's why the kitchen is probably the room that needs to be cleaned the most.

So to keep your kitchen in tip-top shape, we have put together a list of the best kitchen cleaning supplies you need in the cupboard. After all, a perfectly organised cleaning cupboard will save you time and help you get great results every time. So read on to learn which supplies are a MUST!

Multi-purpose Cleaner

A multi-purpose cleaner does what it says on the tin, it offers great cleaning results across the multiple surfaces found in your kitchen. Therefore, making it an invaluable product to have in your kitchen cleaning cupboard. Better still, opt for a spray multi-purpose cleaner for ease and speed when cleaning.

Dishwashing Liquid

Dishwashing liquid (or washing up liquid) is a must-have item in the kitchen cleaning cupboard. This particular type of soap is strong enough to cut through grease, but is also gentle on the skin. While it is great for cleaning the dishes, it is also a fantastic degreaser in other areas of the kitchen - making it a must have product for every kitchen!

Cleaning Gloves

As the kitchen is one of the messiest rooms in the house to clean - from food grime in the oven to muddy footprints on the floor - it's important to protect your hands from dirt and chemicals with a pair of good cleaning gloves. With your hands covered, you can scrub away with no need to worry.

Limescale Remover

Limescale can quickly build up in the kitchen, especially in areas with hard water. So, it’s a good idea to include a limescale removing product in your cleaning cupboard. But here's a secret... you can also use lemon and white vinegar to remove limescale as a natural alternative if you wanted.

White Vinegar

So we briefly mentioned white vinegar above. Well, white vinegar is an essential product for every cleaning cupboard (not just the kitchen!). Vinegar is an incredibly versatile and natural cleaning product, that easily cuts through mould, bacteria and grime - anything found in the kitchen. Plus, its safe to use on a range of different kitchen surfaces.

Microfibre Cloths

Microfibre cloths work just as well as paper towels to wipe up kitchen spills. However, microfibre cloths are reusable so you are doing your bit to be environmentally too.  When the cloths become dirty, you have to do is simply wash them in the washing machine.

Sponges

You can’t go wrong with adding a couple of sponges to your kitchen cleaning kit. They make the perfect tool for removing grime from kitchen appliances and surfaces. Very handy additions to the cleaning cupboard, that's for sure.

Baking Soda

Similar to white vinegar, baking soda is an essential natural cleaning product to keep in your kitchen cupboard. Not only is it mildly abrasive, it also works as a deodoriser - making it the perfect cleaning product for the grime found in the kitchen.

The Number of a Professional Cleaning Business

Yep, you read that right! Make sure you have the number of a cleaning company at hand/ in the cupboard. This is because many domestic oven cleaning products contain a toxic chemical called sodium hydroxide. This is a very common oven cleaning chemical and is more commonly known as caustic soda. With this in mind, you may want to avoid adding a domestic oven cleaning product to your cleaning kit, and instead opt for a natural cleaning method or call the oven cleaning professionals.

The Crystal Oven Cleaning specialists use a non-added caustic cleaning solution, meaning your kitchen is safe, hygienic and free from harmful fumes. Contact us  today to schedule an appointment.
