Hello friends, I am your housekeeping grandmother Ozawa.
Pinch your fingers, there are still two weeks to go before the New Year, and it seems that this year's year-end cleaning should also be arranged!
The northern region has always had the tradition of cleaning the house after the twentieth day of the lunar month, generally on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month to clean the small home inside and out, sweep away all the obscurity of the past year, so all the friends here you must not be lazy, do not give the home a thorough cleaning before the end of the year, how to be embarrassed to welcome the New Year?
The kitchen has always been the hardest hit area for housework, so this year's cleaning started in the kitchen, and in order to make it easier and smoother for everyone to complete the cleaning before and after, I decided to put together my list of cleaning items! In this issue, I will share some kitchen cleaning goodies and cleaning tips, if you are interested, please collect it!
My small kitchen has been in use for four years and is still very clean, white quartz countertops, no oil stains on the walls, and the sink is as clean as new. It is not easy to develop these habits in time after cooking every day, but in practice, it is more comfortable and more time to spend a whole day on tough problems than piling up, so even if I am tired, I still insist on cleaning up the stains at will, so that I can complete today's task.
Kitchen wipes
Keywords: daily cleaning, light oil
Recommended index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5 stars)
Price: 12 yuan/40 pieces
Daily cleaning I recommend this disposable kitchen wipes, draw one every day after cooking, and wipe the oil stains on the countertop and wall of the cabinet at hand.
Its biggest advantage is that it can be discarded after use, there is no traditional rag like the problem, which breeds bacteria for a long time, mold and smell, to be honest, I also doubted before using it, this thin wipes can have a thick rag to use? But later I found out that once this thing is used, it really can't go back.
My family used to have three rags, one dishwashing chopsticks, one wiping gas stove, one wiping sink, in order to prevent mixing I can only use different colors to distinguish them, sometimes I remember that I will mistakenly take the dishcloth to wipe the gas stove, take the sink to wipe the dishes and chopsticks, and over time the rag has become a vessel for cultivating bacteria.
This kitchen wipe that I often repurchase, after a whole piece is about the size of a rag, it is quite thick in my hand, and I usually wipe the stove, cabinet, and wall after dinner, and then throw it away directly, which is simply a lazy artifact.
This wipes themselves are self-contained detergent, smell a faint fragrance, for light oil stains are still very effective, every day to clean the stove, cabinets, the kitchen can always be kept clean, after wiping will not remain foam, no need to clean twice.
After I do stir-frying every day, I will wipe the gas stove, tiles, and small appliances at will, to avoid sticky hands when touched for a long time, this kitchen wipes are 40 pieces per pack, like this large package, I can generally use it for a month and a half, each pack is about 12 yuan, only about 2 cents a day.
This kind of wipes are made of non-woven fabric, so they can be used many times, and they will be clean after rinsing with water after being dirty, and they are actually similar to lazy rags when used, but the durability is much better than lazy rags.
One kitchen wipe can cover almost all kitchen cleaning scenes, and after wiping the tabletop, I will also clean the oil stain from the floor to maximize the use. In terms of cost, spreading it evenly every day is actually similar to using traditional rags, and it is highly recommended that friends try it.
Stainless steel cleaning paste

Recommended index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Starting price: 6-7 yuan/300g
In addition to the range hood, the most difficult to clean in the kitchen is a variety of pots, this dirt on the bottom of the pot is formed by the carbonization of grease after high temperature, so it is difficult to clean them up with ordinary detergents, I often use this stainless steel cleaning paste, it is a viscous paste-like texture, there are fine frosted particles inside, a bit similar to the kind of facial cleanser with frosted particles, the cleaning process can play a certain role in polishing and polishing.
When using, just use a scouring pad dampened and sanded along the bottom of the pot, the cleaning paste will automatically foam after contact with water, if it is a particularly stubborn stain, you can also apply it and let it sit for a while, and then sand.
The cleaning effect is still quite obvious, whether it is the black stains on the bottom of the pot or the oil stains on the soy sauce bottle, it can be cleaned quickly, although it takes some effort to clean, but the cleaning effect is much better than ordinary detergents.
I also used it to clean the inside of my oven that I had been using for two or three years, and the oven finally returned to the same way it was when I first bought it, and this cleaning paste really helped me solve a big problem of kitchen cleaning.
Although it is called stainless steel cleaning paste, but after my test, its cleaning range is far more than stainless steel so single, such as marble countertops, glass pot lids, plastic storage boxes, various stains, oil stains can be cleaned with it can obtain good results, so it can be regarded as a real universal cleaner, the key is that the price is really not expensive, 6 yuan a large can can be used for a long time, really cheap and large bowl.

I would spray the cleaner on the fish scale rag every week or two, and then wipe down the small appliances, cabinet door handles, and shelves so that the small white appliances in the house always looked like they were newly bought.
If there is a lot of oil in the microwave, you can try adding some baking soda to the bowl, then pour clean water, put it in the microwave oven and heat it on medium heat for 10 minutes, and then wipe the inner cavity with a scouring pad while it is hot, so that the oil can be easily cleaned up.
Every time you make dinner, if there are more oil stains on the gas stove, you can also spray detergent, use kitchen wipes to do a deep cleaning, which is much better than simply using dish soap, and there is a fragrant smell after wiping.
