In these times where we have to be more aware of social distancing and keeping spaces disinfected, but it´s even more important to start having our own space clean and danger free, more specifically: The kitchen.
Space where all the family hangs out, share meals and say good morning every day before going to work or spending your time in other activities. This is one of the main spaces that should and must be disinfected throughout the day to make sure all family members are safe at all times.
Luckily for you, in this new article of Marianna´s Cleaning Company, you´ll learn how to maintain your own kitchen as a safe space as it should be. Let´s get into it!
The magic disinfecting mix!
We´ve talked before in a previous article about how to disinfect general surfaces at home, and this magic disinfecting mix is a must have in every room of the house, but more importantly: the kitchen. To make it you just need to follow simple instructions and get the following ingredients:
• 1L of water (33.8 oz.)
• 20ml of bleach (2 tablespoons).
To make this mix you just have to pour the bleach inside the container, along with the water. Then, mix it perfectly and that´s it! Now, how can I use this properly?
Soak any clean piece of cloth with the mix, and start rubbing all kitchen surfaces with it, just as you do normally, except that in this case, you are using the magic mix. It´s important to keep the bottle in the kitchen so any member of the family can reach it anytime and wipe out the surfaces they used before and after, this way you´ll make sure the kitchen is bacteria free and a safe place to be.
After grocery shopping
As basic as this advice might be, it´s important to keep reminding everyone of the importance to wash your hands after your shopping, or just as soon as you get home anyway.
Don’t put your grocery bags on the kitchen bar or table, this way you keep the possible virus or bacteria in the floor. We recommend your grocery bags are made of fabric, so you can wash them after your shopping.

Refrigerator cleaning
It´s recommendable that you do a deep cleaning in your refrigerator at least once a month. This consists of taking out every tray and wash them with your regular dish soap, dry them up perfectly so they don´t keep humidity when you put them back in place.
You can also wash your fridge´s interior walls with dish soap or take advantage of the magic mix to disinfect it easily and quickly.
Keep your cook meals on the top of the fridge, and the fresh raw ones in the bottom. This is good advice because if any of the cooked meals tend to drop liquids, these will fall in the raw product that we’ll wash before cooking. This way every meal keeps disinfected and virus-free! However, in case you want someone else to take care of the cleaning for you, hire a maid service.

Oven and microwave cleaning
If you´re working from home, then you´ll have the chance once in a while to do this cleaning with no problem. For the oven cleaning, we suggest you follow the instructions of the brand or manufacturer, so you don´t have problems later when the baking time comes.
For the microwave, as we have said, just wipe it out with the disinfecting mix previously made to keep it disinfected. Almost as easy and quick as a house cleaning service.
