these 6 places that we often forget to clean in the kitchen (they are full of bacteria)

Spring is the season of the year that symbolizes renewal. And the stars are also sending us energies of new beginnings at this time. It is therefore time to sort out your accommodation but above all to clean your home from top to bottom. And as experts often say, the kitchen is the most important room in the house to clean.

All you have to do is take a look at the Rappel Conso website to see how much bacteria likes to get into our food. It is therefore important to clean your kitchen well to avoid any bacterial contamination. However, there exists 6 locations that we always forget to clean which are breeding grounds for bacteria! Here are the ones.

1. The cutlery drawer

We often tend to leave a lot of objects lying around in the cutlery drawer that have no place there. To clean it properly, you must start by emptying it and getting rid of all the Japanese wooden chopsticks or used birthday candles.

Once the drawer is empty, you should unsurprisingly find many crumbs and dust at the bottom of the drawer. Which is not very hygienic since all this dirt is in contact with our cutlery. Don’t forget to wash the cutlery organizer.

2. The kitchen chandelier

High places are often forgotten during our cleaning sessions. However, they are far from clean. In fact, dust but also grease accumulates in these high objects. If you don’t have a chandelier in your kitchen, you probably have items up high that need a wipe down.

3. Under the kitchen furniture

If you go to take a look under the furniture in your kitchen you might be scared. In fact, grease particles are deposited under furniture while trapping dust and crumbs.

This gives rise to a thick and sticky film that is best cleaned regularly. To clean this dirt you can use baking soda which will help degrease. And if the dirt persists, don’t hesitate to use your strength to scrub.

4. The trash can

Although emptying a trash can is not the most pleasant experience, cleaning the trash can is a real challenge. And yet, we will have to stick to it because the bottom of a trash can is rarely clean.

To clean your trash can, you can fill it with hot water, mixed with white vinegar and black soap. You can then let the mixture act or scrub with a small brush.

5. The refrigerator door

If you’ve ever had the courage to clean your fridge, have you thought about the door? Often forgotten, the refrigerator door and the handle are breeding grounds for bacteria.

6. The cupboard under the sink

The cupboard under the kitchen sink is often a place where we store household products, dishwasher tablets, garbage bags, etc. And like the cutlery drawer, this cupboard can quickly be transformed into a storage room where you can store anything and everything.

So remember to take inventory of what is in this cupboard and take the opportunity to clean it since it is rarely part of the list of priority cleaned surfaces during our cleaning.
