FAQ:
Q: How do I know if my sponge needs to be replaced?
A: If it smells bad even after disinfecting, or starts to fall apart, toss it. Replace sponges every 1–2 weeks.
Q: Can I use bleach on kitchen surfaces?
A: Yes, but dilute it properly (1 tbsp bleach per 1 gallon of water) and rinse surfaces well afterward.
Q: Is vinegar safe for all appliances?
A: Avoid vinegar on natural stone or certain rubber seals—it can degrade them. Always check your appliance manual first.
Q: What’s better: dishcloth or sponge?
A: Dishcloths dry faster (less bacteria) and are reusable. Sponges are convenient but need more frequent disinfecting or replacement.
Q: How often should I deep clean the whole kitchen?
A: A full deep clean every 1–2 months helps reset everything and keeps the kitchen sanitary and organized.
