Rid Your Kitchen Of Hidden Dirt And Grime
A kitchen is often a home’s busiest room — a meeting place for meals and conversation. It’s also among the home’s most grimy rooms. Bacteria, dirt and germs collect on floors, on countertops, and inside appliances.
In this 4-minute clip from NBC’s The Today Show, you’ll learn how to rid your kitchen of “nastiness”. The featured fixes use nothing but basic household cleansers and elbow grease, and they include:
- How to clean and restore wooden cutting boards and bowls
- How to remove “burn stains” from the side of a frying pan
- How to eliminate pervasive dishwasher odors
The segment also tackles why you should choose loofah over sponge, and how to catch fruit flies.
For as much time as you spend in your kitchen, it’s best to keep it clean and sanitized.
