The kitchen is the heart of the home, and having a clean and functional layout is essential for a space that is both beautiful and practical. A well-designed kitchen should be a joy to work in, whether you’re cooking a simple meal or hosting a large dinner party.

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.
  5. Wipe down the inside of your microwave with a lemon wedge to remove tough stains and odours.

According to Real Simple, an information portal that focuses on simplifying and improving everyday life, a functional and efficient kitchen layout is key to having a clean and organized kitchen. There are several factors to consider when designing your kitchen layout, such as:

  • The work triangle (the distance between the sink, stove, and refrigerator).
  • Placement of appliances and storage areas.
  • Lighting and ventilation.
  • Floor plan and traffic flow.
  • Personal preferences and needs.

To sum it up, the key to a spotless kitchen is a combination of regular cleaning and organisation, with a layout that is tailored to your needs and preferences. By following these tips and tricks you can create a kitchen that is not only clean and organised but also a pleasure to spend time in.
