Kitchens are made to bring families together.

With living standards of the people improving each day, the first place one can witness such improvements is home. Kitchen is one important area in every house where we can see transformation at work over the years. Kitchen designs have undergone a sea-change in the past one decade. Open modular kitchens have replaced their confined traditional counterparts. Along with such positive development at the home front, maintenance becomes a key question.

Here’s a close look at how to clean and maintain a modular kitchen on a regular basis.

• Make it a practice to clean your kitchen everyday. It keeps the kitchen intact and long-lasting. Wipe kitchen surfaces including countertop and floors with a clean cloth and disinfectant.
• Keep a large garbage bin in your kitchen to empty the trashes in as you cook food and wash the dishes.
• It is better to install an auto clean kitchen chimney that gets rid of oil and dust particles on its own without human intervention. Cleaning them manually is a tedious and time-consuming process.
• A good kitchen is always judged by how clean its basin is. If you have a steel sink, use soft nylon scrubber to avoid any scratches. Make sure you clear the sink of dirty utensils and food particles before calling it a night.
• Wipe the stoves and burners clean daily. This will keep food particles from jellifying over these appliances.
• Refrigerators are one of the most used items in a kitchen. They are on duty 24 hours, 7 days a week. So, they need much cleaning, at least once a week. Empty it off all stale or rotting food stuffs and clean it with warm soap water.
• Keep few spares of kitchen rugs. Clean the dirty ones regularly as they are a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and insects.
• To keep the kitchen tiles tidy, mix half a cup of vinegar or baking soda to two gallons of water and scrub with a sponge.
• Oil your wooden chopping boards at least once every month. This will ensure their longevity.
• Rub utensils completely dry before storing them in kitchen shelves or drawers. Otherwise, they will make the areas damp and this can attract fungus and cockroaches.
