family enjoy and use your kitchen more.

A bonus is that if you follow these kitchen cleaning tips daily then it becomes quicker and quicker to actually keep your kitchen clean!

According to the sensationalist media, our kitchens are about to kill us. Salmonella, E. coli, garden-variety germs — there’s all sorts of nastiness lurking everywhere, just waiting to pounce, right? Wrong. You do not need to cave in to thi­s kind of fear by adopting an around-the-clock habit of cleaning and disinfecting everything. Reasonable daily care and attention, using some very basic cleaning ingredients, can make your kitchen as clean and shiny as it needs to be. And because you’re using fewer harsh cleaners and disinfectants, the earth will thank you as well. Remember, less is more.

The best way to stock your green cleaning kit is with an economy-size box of baking soda, a gallon jug of vinegar, and some basic table salt in as large a quantity as you can find.
