Cleaning kitchen items can be a daunting task, as greasy stains can easily appear no matter what you clean. Using laundry detergent or dish soap isn't very effective against thick, greasy stains. Today, I'll share a comprehensive guide to kitchen cleaning techniques to help you avoid unnecessary headaches.

1. How to clean the stove

When cooking, some juice often splashes on the stove. After cooking, use the residual heat of the stove to wipe it with a damp cloth. The effect is very good. To remove old dirt on the stove, you can spray some detergent on the stove, then put some old newspaper on it, spray some detergent again, and after a few minutes, remove the newspaper and wipe the oil spot with the newspaper soaked in detergent.

2. Clean the gas stove

Gas stoves are a common spot for grease and dirt. Spray some kitchen detergent on them and scrub them with a wire brush. Once the grease and dirt are removed, wipe them clean with a slightly damp cloth. When cleaning a gas stove, use a thin wire to remove carbides from the nozzle. Then, use the wire to pierce the fire holes one by one and use a brush to remove any dirt.

3. Remove dirt from gas stove

The burner rack on a gas stove gets dirty easily and is difficult to clean with standard detergents. To clean it, fill a large pot of water and place the burner rack in the pot. Once the water is heated, the dirt will naturally break down and peel off.

4. Remove gas stove stains

(1) Place the serving plate and pot rack in boiling water for about 20 minutes. When the oil stains float up, use a pot brush to clean them.

(2) Switch: Just clean it with detergent.

(3) Flame retardant: First use a steel brush to brush off the oil stains, and then use a bamboo stick to remove the dirt in the hole.

(4) Rubber hose: Apply some detergent directly to the hose. After the oil stains are dissolved, scrub it with a discarded toothbrush or scouring pad, and then rinse it with clean water.

5. Tips for cleaning the stove

Spray some cleaning solution on the tile surface, then cover it with some paper towels. After one night (the paper towels will fully absorb the oil stains), you can easily wipe it with a damp cloth to make it look brand new. This method can also be used for range hoods.

6. Clean the bottom of the pot, pan, and stove

When cleaning the bottom of a pot, pan, or stove, wet the bottom of the pot or pot with warm water and sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on it. Then, leave it overnight. This will soften the burnt food and stains and make them easy to remove with a soft brush.

7. Exhaust fan cleaning method

When an exhaust fan becomes stained with cooking fumes, you can wipe it with a cloth dipped in vinegar. Sawdust is also a particularly effective cleaning method. To clean it, remove the fan and wrap the dust in cotton yarn, or simply wipe it with your hands. The thicker the grease, the easier it is to remove. After wiping, rinse with clean water.

8. Cleaning the range hood

(1) Turn on the range hood and let it run, then spray some concentrated stain remover on the fan. After about 5 minutes, spray some warm water. The dissolved oil will flow into the oil storage box. Remove the oil storage box directly and clean it.

(2) Cleaning the range hood panel is relatively simple. You can spray some detergent first, then stick a paper towel on it to allow the dirt to be decomposed by the detergent. After about 30 minutes, peel it off, then wipe it gently with a sponge and use the paper towel to absorb the detergent. This will absorb most of the oil stains, which is better than spraying detergent.

(3) Before using the oil storage box of the range hood, you can put a layer of plastic wrap inside the box, leaving some plastic wrap outside the box. When the dirty oil accumulates, just replace the plastic wrap. You can also pour some detergent on the bottom of the box. In this way, the dirty oil will always float on the surface, making it easier to clean.

(4) After cooking each time, do not turn off the range hood immediately. Let it continue to run so that the water, oil smoke and unburned carbon monoxide remaining in the air can be extracted together, thereby reducing the amount of oil stains on indoor kitchen utensils.

9. Remove stains from range hoods and gas stoves

For gas stoves and range hoods whose countertops often accumulate grease stains, you can first spray a paper towel wet with "bathroom and kitchen all-purpose cleaner" on them and then clean them after a while.

10. Clean the pool

When cleaning sinks and kitchen cabinets, sprinkle baking soda, borax, or washing soda on the surfaces. Then, rub them back and forth with a damp cloth. This will remove all stains without much effort. For greasy dishes, use a cloth or loofah.

11. Remove faucet stains

If there are hard water deposits in the faucet residue, you can aim the side of a lemon slice at the faucet spout, then press it firmly and turn it a few times to remove it.

12. Remove water stains from faucets

Use the colored side of an orange peel to wipe the water stains on the faucet. You can easily wipe it off and the faucet will be very clean.

13. Remove stains from kitchen tiles

(1) For tiles with grease stains, you can cover them with some toilet paper or paper towels, then spray some detergent on them and leave them for a while. This way, the detergent will not drip everywhere, and the grease will float up by itself. After tearing off the toilet paper, wipe it several times with a cloth dipped in water to remove it.

(2) If there is grease on the tiles of the kitchen stove, you can take a handful of chicken feathers dipped in warm water and wipe them, which is very effective.
