To keep your steel modular kitchen in good condition, it’s important to clean and maintain it regularly. A clean and organised kitchen not only looks good, but it also lasts longer. So, if you want your kitchen to be hygienic and well-maintained, keep these tips in mind while cleaning it.
- Soft cleaning fabric: When cleaning your steel modular kitchen, use a soft cloth or sponge. Using soft fabric ensures that you do not scratch or damage the steel surface. Soft cloth helps to retain the shine and avoid streaks post cleaning.
- Use a mild cleaning agent and the right cleaning tools: To clean a steel kitchen, it is recommended to use mild dish soap and warm water. This will help to remove any dirt or grime without causing damage to the steel surface. You can also use specialised steel cleaners that are designed to clean steel surfaces without causing any damage. It’s also important to use the right tools, such as stainless steel cleaner or polish, to remove grease and food residues.
- Rinse with water and dry properly: Rinse your steel countertop with water to get rid of any dirt or grime during the cleaning process. Proper rinsing also helps remove slippery soap residue from cleaning detergents. After rinsing, make sure to dry the countertop thoroughly to soak up any remaining moisture in hard-to-reach corners or joints. To avoid streaks or water spots on the surface, use a soft towel or cloth for drying.
When cleaning your kitchen, ensure that you do not use certain substances or cleaning agents. Let us discuss some of the don’ts of cleaning your steel modular kitchen.
- Don’t use corrosive cleaning substances: When it comes to cleaning a steel kitchen, it is important to know which types of corrosive substances should be avoided. For instance, you should avoid chlorine-based cleaners such as bleach as they can be extremely corrosive to steel surfaces. Acidic cleaners such as vinegar, lemon juice, and other citrus-based cleaners can also damage steel surfaces.
- Don’t let cleaning water sit for a long time: To prevent staining and rusting of the steel surface in your modular kitchen, do not leave cleaning water sitting for an extended period. The greasy and dirty residual water may take some time to drain out completely, but it is necessary to ensure that no stagnant water is left behind. If the water is allowed to dry up, it can leave stubborn stains on the steel surface, leading to a rusty finish that may be impossible to remove.
- Certain cleaning tools: You should avoid certain cleaning tools such as steel wool and brushes. They tend to cause scratches and hasten rusting and staining.
You must inspect your kitchen on a regular basis. Check whether surfaces and appliances are free from dirt and grime or not. Also, check that there are no signs of pests such as mice or roaches. This can help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, and keep your kitchen safe for food preparation.
