When it comes to your cleaning routine, less is more. The products you choose to help you get the job done are important, though; there will certainly be instances where specialised cleaners are necessary, but the following list of products and tools will suffice for most tasks. Keep them organised under your sink and in your pantry so that you can grab them as you work. Keeping your kitchen clean should be a daily habit, and kitchens are often the heart of the home, so experience a lot of traffic. Your kitchen may have sticky work surfaces, smudged stainless steel or a messy kitchen floor. So, to keep your kitchen in tip-top shape, we have put together a list of the best kitchen cleaning supplies. A perfectly organised cleaning cupboard will save you time and help you get great results every time.

Essential Kitchen Cleaning Supplies

1. 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 cupboard. You can also use lemon and white vinegar to remove limescale as a natural alternative

2. All-purpose Cleaner

There are a lot of different surfaces in your kitchen from the worktops to the cupboards and the floors. An all-purpose cleaner does what it says on the tin, offering great results across multiple surfaces. Making it an invaluable product to have in your kitchen cleaning cupboard. Better still, opt for a spray all-purpose cleaner for ease and speed when cleaning.

3. White Vinegar

White vinegar is an essential natural product for every cleaning cupboard, not just the kitchen. Vinegar is an incredibly versatile kitchen cleaning product, as a natural cleaner, it easily cuts through mould, bacteria and grime. Plus, it’s safe to use on a range of kitchen surfaces. Distilled white vinegar and lemon juice are both excellent for cleaning, deodorising, and mild bleaching. They are acidic and can eliminate soap scum. Make a window- and mirror-cleaner by mixing equal parts of vinegar and water, which also works well on most polyurethane-finished wood floors.

Ways to Clean with White Vinegar in the Kitchen:

• It can be used as a ‘no scrub’ microwave cleaner
• Clean the fridge inside and out
• Unblock drains 
• Remove hard water stains around the sink
• To clean stained tupperware
• To clean sticky stains from the worksurfaces (apart from granite and marble)

4. Baking Soda

Similar to white vinegar, baking soda is an essential natural cleaning product to keep in your cupboard. Not only is it mildly abrasive, it also works as a deodorizer, making it the perfect cleaning product for grease and grime in the kitchen. Baking soda has scrubbing power but won’t scratch surfaces. Mix a paste of three parts warm water to one part baking soda to scrub kitchen stains or clean the oven. You can also make a bathroom cleanser by mixing dishwashing liquid with baking soda until you have a thick paste.

Uses for Baking Soda in the Kitchen

• Bin deodoriser
• Stainless steel sink cleaner
• Hob cleaner
• Oven cleaner
• Floor cleaner
• Dishwasher cleaner
• Whiten tile grout
• Unblock kitchen sink
• Remove tea stains from cups and mugs
• Freshen cleaning sponges
• Microwave cleaner

 5. Dishwashing Liquid

Dishwashing liquid is a must-have item in the kitchen cleaning cupboard. Dish soap is strong enough to cut through grease and gentle on the skin. While it is great for cleaning the dishes, it is also a fantastic degreaser in other areas of the kitchen.

 6. 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 help the planet too. Microfibre cloths are also designed to collect dust and debris, so can be used with or without water. When the clothes become dirty they can be simply washed in the washing machine.

7. Soft Sponges

You can’t go wrong with adding a couple of sponges to your kitchen cleaning kit. There are a variety of soft sponges on the market and they make the perfect tool for removing grime from kitchen appliances and surfaces.

8. Cleaning Gloves

The kitchen is one of the messiest rooms in the house to clean. From food grime in the oven to mud on the floors, protect your hands from dirt and chemicals with a pair of gloves. With your hands covered, you can scrub away with no need to worry.

9. Cleaning Toothbrush

Toothbrushes are not only great for making your teeth gleam, but also your kitchen. Due to their size, a toothbrush makes the perfect tool to get in all those hard to reach areas.

A toothbrush can be used to clean the following:

• Hobs and stoves
• Tile grout
• Fridge
• Sink and drain
• Toaster (make sure it is turned off and unplugged)

Next time you are throwing out an old toothbrush, why not add it to your kitchen cleaning kit instead?

10. The Number of Professional 

Many domestic cleaning products contain a toxic chemical called sodium hydroxide. This is a very common cleaning chemical and is more commonly known as caustic soda. With this in mind, avoid adding a domestic oven cleaning product to your cleaning kit, instead opt for a natural cleaning method or call the oven cleaning professionals.

And if there’s no one magical tool that can do it all, we are offering you the best kitchen cleaning packages that will ensure when messes do happen you’ll be covered by PB Cleaning 247. Experience the ease of leaving your next deep cleaning to the professionals.
