How to make your kitchen sparkling clean with soap

 

And by that we mean truly clean! When we clean, we want to remove dirt, but what happens when we remove dirt and add chemicals? Does our indoor environment become cleaner, or does it perhaps become completely polluted with chemicals that merely make it smell nice? Cleaning with soap truly cleans the indoor environment without adding chemicals, preservatives, or fragrances.

The cutting board

Wooden cutting boards often absorb dirt and food residue. Clean them with solid VästerbottensSåpa for a completely clean wooden surface.

Burnt pots

Boil water with soap and let it stand for a while. Rinse and wash as usual.

Dining table

A major advantage of wiping the dining table with soap is that no chemicals are left behind to get onto our hands and into our food. Wipe with a damp cloth and a little soap. Unfinished wooden tables become very beautiful when scrubbed with soap. Unfinished oak cannot tolerate too much soap. The opposite is true of pine furniture, which gets a wonderfully smooth, easy-to-clean surface from soap. For kitchen countertops and dining tables, we recommend soap spray. 

Deep-clean the kitchen in 10 easy steps – checklist

  1. Take care of all the dishes. Wash them and put your clean dishes away.
  2. Throw away all the rubbish. Sort food, food scraps, and crumbs into the compost.
  3. Sort things into piles. Put the children's things in one pile, and items for the TV room, laundry room, and storage room in separate piles. Move the piles to the right rooms and places.
  4. Start with what takes the most time: the stove. Pull the stove out and clean behind it. Coat the oven with soap and water, then heat it to +100°C. Clean the baking trays and racks.
  5. Clean the extractor fan. Parts that can withstand it can preferably be washed in the dishwasher. Soak the other parts in hot soapy water, then wash them by hand. 
  6. Make vinegar compresses for all taps affected by limescale. Exactly how to do this is explained in a separate clip here on the page.
  7. Cabinets: Wipe the tops with a cloth and soap spray, wipe underneath, then clean the doors with soap spray and a cloth. Finish with a microfiber cloth to avoid a streaky result. 
  8. Clean the tiles above the countertops and behind the stove with soap, an eco-fiber cloth, and a cleaning cloth. 
    Then wipe the baseboards in the same way.
  9. Now clean all the countertop surfaces, including the sink.
  10. Finish by mopping the floor.
    DONE!
