Keeping a kitchen sparkling clean requires constant attention — after all, it’s an area you use on a daily basis. Maid Brigade, Honolulu’s residential cleaning professionals, are here to advise you on different ways to keep your kitchen in good shape while taking care of the occasional “deep clean" every once in a while.

Consider these five tips from the experts at Maid Brigade for keeping your kitchen spick and span:

• Clean As You Go: Don’t let dishes stack up in the sink and dirt build up on the counter. Always clean up your kitchen immediately after use. Getting rid of grease and grime as quickly as possible is the simplest way to keep things tidy. This means spraying and wiping down the stovetop and counter areas as soon as you're done cooking — yes, even before you eat!
• Give Your Fridge A Makeover: We’re all guilty of letting certain products sit on the back shelf past their expiration date. Give your refrigerator a monthly makeover, clearing all expired products out and giving the shelves a quick wipe down while you’re at it.
• Sprinkle Salt In Your Oven: This is a great natural cleaning tip. Add a sprinkling of salt on oven buildup while your oven is still warm and then remove the residue with a spatula. After this, you can easily wipe it away with a clean cloth.
• Clean Your Dishwasher: Yes, even dishwashers need to be cleaned! Run a complete cycle without any dishes, just detergent, to get the dishwasher clean and odor-free.
• Consider Green Products: The chemicals found in typical cleaning products contain toxins that can pose health risks. So-called green products are just as effective — and mitigate these risks. The residential cleaning professionals at Maid Brigade use green cleaning and bring their own green service equipment and supplies to your home.

Finally, be sure to give your kitchen a good deep cleaning every so often.
