How to Deep Clean Your Kitchen: We often clean our kitchen daily, but despite this, some areas remain unnoticed. Let us tell you about five such corners.

Hidden Kitchen Spots You Forget to Clean: Kitchen cleanliness isn't just a part of home decor; it's also directly related to family health. Dirt, insects, and bacteria thrive in the kitchen, especially during the summer. We clean countertops, gas stoves, and floors daily, but there are some areas that, despite being right in front of our eyes, remain unnoticed. If these corners aren't cleaned regularly, they can become breeding grounds for illness.

dry ration storage place

First, let's talk about the storage area for dry food. Items like flour, rice, lentils, and sugar are stored safely in steel or plastic containers, but the shelves where these containers are stored often accumulate grain, crumbs, and dust. This dirt attracts ants and cockroaches. It's important to empty the shelves periodically, clean, and sanitize them thoroughly.

gas cylinder cupboard

Another overlooked area is the gas cylinder cabinet. It's often located under the kitchen counter and is often overlooked during cleaning. Because the cylinder is heavy, people avoid removing it, but the layer of dust and oil that accumulates around it gradually increases the amount of dirt. Cleaning this area is crucial for both safety and hygiene.

spice box

The third place is the spice compartment. We regularly refill our spices, but we often forget to clean out the powder and moisture that accumulates inside the compartment and in the spaces between the compartments. It's best to remove all the compartments from time to time, wash the compartments, and dry them in the sun to maintain freshness.

The inside of the microwave

The inside of the microwave is also often overlooked. A microwave that appears clean from the outside can be filled with curry splatters and food stains on the inside. This not only creates odors but can also become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, it requires careful cleaning. 

Lower cabinet doors and handles

Finally, lower cabinet doors and handles. These areas tend to get touched more often than upper cabinets, even though they're touched more frequently. Dust and germs can accumulate here. Including these areas in your regular cleaning routine is the key to a truly clean and safe kitchen. Thoroughly cleaning these areas can prevent a whole host of problems.
