If you want to start a cleaning routine to have the kitchen always spotless, do not miss these tricks that we give you today to keep it shiny and safe from bacteria and germs that can make the summer bitter.
Clean daily
There are elements of the kitchen that we must not neglect and that must be cleaned daily after use. The first of them is him sink. An item that has more germs than the sink. You can clean it with disinfectant products, or also with vinegar, since it is a powerful natural antiseptic.
In addition, you also have to be very careful with scourers (24 pieces, 13.99 euros) and cloths (3 units, 6.84 euros). In fact, in homes they are one of the elements that are most neglected, and that concentrate the most germs. In addition to renewing them frequently (every two or three weeks), it is convenient to disinfect them in a basin with water and bleach, leaving them to dry once they are clean.

Countertops are another element to clean on a daily basis. In addition to cleaning what we are staining as we go, it is advisable to disinfect the surface after each use (two / three times a day), using warm water and a soapy solution to eliminate germs using a scouring pad that we only use for this purpose.
The chopping boards You also have to clean them after each use, paying special attention especially when we use them to handle food such as chicken. In addition, it must be borne in mind that it is better to use plastic or ceramic boards instead of wood (21.98 euros, before 27.99 euros), since we can put them in the dishwasher to disinfect them without problem.
