Tips for disinfection and kitchen cleaning

This year we have all realized the importance of kitchen cleaning and disinfecting our hands, but also our homes. On dates as important as these, in which the kitchen becomes the main protagonist and center of family gatherings, today we bring you some tips to disinfect your kitchen and keep the virus and other bacteria away from this important stay.

Clean and sanitize the sink

In the kitchen sink, water, humidity, and food remain to make it a source of bacteria and microorganisms. That is why it is so important to clean it thoroughly daily, every time it is cooked or stained.

For this task, we can start by cleaning it with hot water and soap. Not to mention the drain filter, which can also be put in the dishwasher once a week.

To finish, you can use professional kitchen cleaning and disinfection products.

How to disinfect the countertop?

When it comes to disinfecting your kitchen, pay attention to the countertop, since it is your main work surface and where you handle food of all kinds daily. This means that besides cleaning, it is necessary to go a little further and use specific products to disinfect and kill pathogens and viruses.

The ideal is to use a product that respects the material of the countertop. In most cases, two tablespoons of bleach diluted in a liter of water can work very well. Or a dessert spoon of bleach, per glass of water.

Remember that for bleach to maintain its properties, it must always mix with cold water.

Disinfect kitchen appliances

Sometimes appliances are great forgotten with disinfecting your kitchen. However, proper kitchen cleaning will not only effectively eliminate bacteria that accumulate, it will also extend the life of these devices.

To disinfect the oven, in addition to using an effective grease remover, you can introduce a heat-resistant container with water and lemon juice and leave it for about 30 minutes at medium temperature. In the case of the microwave, it is very effective to introduce a glass bowl with water and a tablespoon of vinegar, turn it on at maximum power and wait until the door glass mists up. Then proceed to dry it with a clean cloth.

To clean and disinfect the fridge, the ideal is to remove all its contents at least once a month and scrub each of its shelves, drawers, nooks, and crannies with soap and water, or a specific disinfectant product. Don’t forget the door rubbers.

We must also pass a cloth with water and ammonia on all the interior walls. For bad odors, a mixture of water and baking soda works very well, leaving it to act for a few minutes and rinsing afterward. Here we tell you how to eliminate bad smells of dampness. 

Cleaning kitchen towels

We use them frequently to clean kitchen surfaces, but also to dry our hands after we have been handling food. So kitchen rags can also inhabit all kinds of bacteria. The ideal is to wash them very frequently with hot water and detergent, not to get them too wet, and change them every so often.

The same should be done with cloths and scouring pads.

Finally, if there is a coronavirus patient at home, the ideal is to clean the dishes in the dishwasher, programming a wash at a high temperature, between 65 and 70 ºC. This appliance, when used well. It consumes less water than if we wash it by hand, and it is the best option to thoroughly disinfect dishes and cutlery.
