If there’s one thing in life that’s certain – outside of death and taxes – it’s that most of your days will end in cleaning your kitchen. One of the nasty side-effects of being an adult is realising that household chores will continue to creep on your conscience until they’re down and short of knuckling down and getting them done, there’s no way to avoid them.
Now we may have hundreds of gadgets and gizmos that simplify life on a daily basis, but when it comes to keeping your kitchen clean and hygienic, good old elbow grease is the only real way to go. But there are a number of useful additions that can help make your kitchen more organised and keep the cleaning process quick. Here are a few inexpensive items that will help you get through the process as painlessly as possible.
1. Microfibre Cloths
Easy to wash and dry these microfibre cloths pick up every last particle and can be used dry or wet to mop up spills. They’re reusable so you can always have one on hand while you’re cooking to help you clean as you go.
