Here are five hacks that can help you keep your kitchen spotless advised by Good Housekeeping, an information hub that focuses on home improvement:

  1. Make a paste of baking soda and water to clean tough stains on kitchen surfaces.
  2. Use a squeegee to clean your stovetop and keep it free of grease and grime.
  3. Line your refrigerator drawers with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
  4. Use a lint roller to clean up crumbs and dust off countertops and tables.
