1. fittings do not shine
No sooner have they been cleaned than they're back: limescale and water stains! To keep taps and sinks shiny for longer, use a piece of greaseproof paper or wax paper. Both variants ensure that the water rolls off and limescale cannot settle as quickly.
2. the sink is always dirty
Washing up, cooking water, grease: the kitchen sink is put to the test every day, which is why it is naturally constantly dirty and unsightly. But should you use chemical cleaners for this reason? Vinegar is a natural way to keep the sink clean. The household remedy also dispels odors, and the smell of vinegar itself disappears after a short time. Environmentally friendly and sustainable cleaning agents are therefore often the better alternative!

3. the drain smells
All sorts of kitchen residues quickly collect in the drain, which is why it should be cleaned regularly. You can use a sponge or a toothbrush for this. In addition to vinegar, lemons are a good cleaning aid: place lemon slices on the drain and let water run through, this cleans and dispels odors. To keep the pipe clean, a regular mixture of baking soda and vinegar is also recommended - mix in a cup, pour into the drain, leave to work and rinse with water.
4. kitchen fronts are dirty
Fingerprints, dirt from cooking and dust are constantly found on kitchen fronts, which is why they should be wiped down regularly. The best way to do this is to use lukewarm water, a splash of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Kitchen fronts should never be cleaned with aggressive cleaners - even microfiber cloths, which cause slight abrasion, are not recommended for lacquered surfaces, for example.
Cleaning: You should clean these 4 things every day
5. pots no longer shine
Pots become unsightly over time, which cannot be prevented by lime-containing water and salty and acidic food. Anyone who has a dishwasher knows that pots have to be cleaned by hand from time to time because the machine can't do it. The best way to do this is with vinegar (always diluted) or citric acid. You can wipe out the pot with it or boil vinegar water in it. Use the citric acid when cold.
6. kettle is totally calcified
A calcified kettle not only looks unattractive, you also don't want to keep drinking the limescale deposits in your tea or coffee. Vinegar is also a fantastic solution here. Fill the container 2/3 full with water and add a dash of vinegar. Bring to the boil, leave to infuse, drain and rinse.
7. the fridge smells
First check whether any food has gone moldy - this should be disposed of immediately. Or do some just smell strong, such as cheese? Then store it in a well-sealed box. A cut lemon or some coffee powder in a bowl will dispel odors. The fridge should of course also be cleaned regularly.
8. the oven is always dirty
If you frequently prepare roasts and the like, you will naturally have the problem that the oven quickly becomes dirty. You should therefore clean it after every major use, but in any case regularly, because it is then easier to get it clean or keep it clean. A heat-resistant bowl with water and lemon juice, which you place in the oven at 120 to 140 degrees for half an hour to an hour, often helps here. The steam loosens incrustations and you can simply wipe out the oven afterwards.
