🧼 The Clean Freak’s Guide to a Germ-Free Kitchen (That Doesn’t Smell Like Bleach)
Because your kitchen deserves to be sanitized, not suffocated.
🚨 Why Your Kitchen Is a Bacteria Playground
Let’s get real: your kitchen looks clean, but it might not be. Sponges, sinks, cutting boards, and even fridge handles can harbor thousands of germs—even more than your bathroom. 😱
But you don’t need to gas your space with bleach fumes to fix it.
🛠️ Disinfecting Tips for a Truly Clean Kitchen
1. Sink & Drain
• Scrub sink with baking soda + a splash of dish soap.
• Disinfect with vinegar and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Finish with boiling water down the drain.
✅ Pro Tip: Toss half a lemon down the disposal with ice cubes to deodorize + sharpen blades.
2. Counters & Handles
• Use a microfiber cloth + a mix of water, vinegar, and a drop of dish soap.
• Focus on high-touch zones: fridge handles, microwave buttons, drawer pulls.
3. Cutting Boards
• Wooden boards: scrub with lemon + salt.
• Plastic: run through dishwasher, then disinfect with 3% hydrogen peroxide.
4. Appliances (Inside & Out)
• Wipe down fridge shelves with a 50/50 mix of vinegar + water.
• Microwave: steam clean with a bowl of water + lemon juice for 5 minutes.
🌿 Natural Deodorizing Methods That Work
🍋 Citrus Spray
Mix 1 cup distilled water + 1/2 cup white vinegar + juice of 1 lemon. Add 5 drops lemon or tea tree essential oil.
Use it as a:
• Countertop refresher
• Fridge deodorizer
• Microwave wipe-down spray
🧂 Baking Soda Bomb
Place an open jar of baking soda with a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus oil in the fridge or under the sink to absorb odors.
☕ Coffee Grounds
Put used (dry!) coffee grounds in a bowl in the fridge or near the trash bin. Instant stink-neutralizer.
