Question

How should I clean oily kitchen walls?

Community Answer

Use a strong solution of lemon scented ammonia and hot water to cut grease. Wear rubber gloves. When walls and ceiling are done and dry, the heavenly fresh clean scent lasts for days.

Question

When washing kitchen walls, do I start at the top or bottom of the wall?

Community Answer

Start from the top so the cleaning solution trickles to the bottom, making it easy and faster to wipe the whole wall.

Question

What natural products can I use to clean my oven? What products should you use to clean a kitchen?

Apply paste to walls of the oven. Sprinkle dry baking soda on the bottom of the oven. Spray dry baking soda with a little water. Let sit over night. Wipe out in the morning.

Question

How can I care for the kitchen, not the appliances or utensils?

Community Answer

Pull the appliances out and wash underneath the appliances monthly, as this reduces unpleasant smells. Keep the floor mopped every few days. Wipe the windows occasionally. Clean the counter tops after each use.

Question

How often should I clean my whole kitchen?

Community Answer

It is recommended to deep clean your kitchen every 1-2 months. However, if you just want to do a small cleaning, then every week is probably the best option.

Question

How do I clean oily surfaces in the kitchen?

Community Answer

Try using cleaners directed at removing oil or try making your own! Using lots of soap and water doesn't work. You should use water, then soap, then water again to make sure that it is clean.

Question

How often should I do this entire routine?

Gavin Donnelly

Community Answer

Every 3-6 months is a good goal! Make sure to clean up spills and messes every time you use your kitchen, though, so it doesn't get super dirty in between deep cleans.
