Tips on maintaining your kitchen

A badly maintained kitchen can put you under pressure when it doesn’t have to be that way. The easy outcome is to learn how to maintain it properly and you won’t be slipping on dirt.

Keep on top of cleaning

Don’t let dishes pile up – especially in a professional kitchen. Wash or rinse stuff as you use it and wipe down counters after chopping veggies or making a mess. Even the taps and door handles get grimy quickly, but give them a wipe as you go, and it’ll stay away.

Check your ventilation

Good airflow helps a lot to keep stale odours out and air moving around. A proper commercial kitchen extraction system such as www.targetcatering.co.uk/kitchen-extraction/commercial-kitchen-extraction stops grease from building up and keeps the air fresh. Even turning on your extractor fans while cooking prevents the fire alarms from sounding needlessly.

Organise your storage

Messy cupboards make everything harder, especially at work. Put like with like, label jars if you’re that way inclined, and use up older stock first. There’s not much worse than finding something has gone off when you’re mid-recipe.

Keep appliances happy

Appliances need love to stay alive, so clean coils, descale kettles and run self-cleaning cycles if your oven has one. According to BBC News, many UK households are trying to cut energy costs by keeping appliances efficient and it’s working.

Little touches keep it clean

Tricks like lemon on chopping boards, bicarbonate in the sink, even putting plants on the windowsills can change things up and make the kitchen fresher.
