5 items that should be in your kitchen cleaning kit



We all dream of having a perfectly clean kitchen - but you can’t expect your cooking space to look spick and span unless you’re armed with the right cleaning products.

There are a whole host of sprays, scrubs and wipes available that have been specially designed to help you maintain a gorgeously gleaming, germ-free kitchen. It’s extremely easy to get your mitts on these products too. You can find cheap cleaning products online, in your local supermarket and even at the corner shop, so there’s really no excuse for this part of your home to be anything but glistening from top to bottom.


However, with so much choice, it can be difficult to decide exactly what your kitchen cleaning kit should include. To help you get started, here are five must-have products you shouldn’t be without.

1. All-purpose cleaner

Like its name suggests, an all-purpose cleaner can be used to clean practically any surface in your cooking space, making it an essential product for your kit. Whether you need to wipe down your worktops, scrub the floor or wash a tiled splashback, this type of cleaner can be effective in helping you remove grease and grime from pretty much anywhere. For maximum cleanliness, it’s a good idea to go for one with antibacterial properties.


2. Microfibre cloths

While regular cleaning cloths are handy to have, microfibre versions are a total game changer. These cloths are ideal for wiping up bits of dust, crumbs and other debris that may accumulate throughout your cooking space. The superfine fibres of the cloths mean you can get into small crevices, making it easier for you to clean those hard to reach places. They also leave surfaces with a streak-free finish.


3. Limescale remover

Have you ever noticed an unsightly, crusty white substance gather around the taps in your kitchen sink? This is known as limescale, and unless you’re equipped with an effective remover, it can be difficult to get rid of, so it pays to include this product in your kit. Simply apply the limescale remover (I use bicarb of soda and vinegar) to the affected area, give it a scrub and you should find that it comes away with ease.

4. Bleach

Bleach is another product your cleaning kit mustn’t be without. This product is useful for cleaning tough stains, and it is particularly good at removing dirt from stubborn areas such as the grout between tiles. However, bleach is a highly abrasive product, so it’s recommended that you use it sparingly.




5. Rubber gloves

The truth is, your hands are extremely delicate and it’s important that you protect them - especially when you’re using products containing harsh chemicals. So, before you get stuck into your cleaning, make sure that you slip on a pair of rubber gloves. These accessories will provide a barrier between your hands and the cleaning products you’re using, meaning that you don’t need to worry about your skin becoming sore or irritated, and you can avoid touching anything unpleasant too.
