How to clean granite:

1. Wipe and rinse with warm soapy water.

[photo: kitchen with a tile-top island and cooktop]

1. Use a non-abrasive multi-purpose cleaner, as soap may leave behind a film. Adding white vinegar to water may help reduce this residue.
2. To remove stains, seal unglazed tiles and grout.

c. Glass – is great but easily broken. These are heat and stain resistant as a result of their non-porous surface.

[photo: kitchen with glass backsplash and cabinets]

How to clean glass:

1. Spray glass or multi-purpose cleaners onto a soft cloth or sponge rather than applying directly onto the surface to reduce dirt and grime buildup.
2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and scratchy cleaning tools.
3. To remove stains, scrub stuck-on grime with dishwashing detergent and hot water.

d. Stainless steel – has a non-porous surface, which means that no type of liquid or substances can penetrate into the material at all.

How to clean stainless steel:

1. Remove smudges with stainless steel cleaners. Soap and water also works, but spots may appear if you let the water sit for too long.
2. To remove stains/rust mark, use a mild abrasive cleanser or a homemade lemon juice and baking soda paste. Rub it on the surface. Rinse and wipe the spot with wet paper towel.

e. Wood – has a timeless and welcoming natural rustic beauty that other materials lack, which makes it an ideal choice for both traditional and contemporary kitchen designs.

How to clean wood:

1. First dry clean.

   
   

2. Gently scrape any food debris or grime off using the utensil of your choice.

   
   

3. Wipe down using a cloth or sponge that has been saturated in warm soapy water.

   
   

4. Floors – can be hardwood, tile, and linoleum.

   
   

How to clean floor tiles:

1. Clean tile with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent or liquid dish soap.
2. Use a rag or chamois-type mop rather than a sponge mop, which tend to push dirty water into the grout lines making them harder to clean.
3. Dry the floor with a clean, lint-free cloth immediately after washing.

How to clean floor linoleum:

1. Quick wipe with a damp mop works well for weekly cleanings.
2. For a deeper seasonal clean, choose a non-abrasive all-purpose cleaning product. You can also use a mild vinegar and water solution.

How to clean wood kitchen floors:

1. Regular sweeping and weekly dry mopping.
2. Dust the floor with a mop that has been treated with a dusting agent to pick up dust and dirt.

3. Walls and ceilings

How to clean walls and ceilings:

1. Mix ½ cup vinegar, 1 cup clear ammonia, ¼ cup baking soda, and 1gallon warm water. Caution: Wear rubber gloves, and work in a ventilated area when using this powerful solution.

   
   

2. Apply to the wall with a sponge, and rinse with clear water. If your walls have a rough texture, use old nylon stockings or socks rather than a sponge because they won’t tear and leave difficult-to-remove bits on the surface.

   
   

3. Stovetops/Cooktop

   
   

How to clean stovetops/cooktops:

1. Squirt some dawn dish soap all over the cook top.
2. Sprinkle baking soda over the dawn dish soap.
3. Add a tablespoon or two of hydrogen peroxide.
4. Start scrubbing with a dish scrubber.
5. Let the solution sit for about three minutes, then wipe clean.

5. Sink

Steps on how to clean sink:

1. Remove and clean dirty dishes and leftover food from your sink.
2. Wash down the entire surface area of your sink. Use a gentle soap, soft cloth and warm water to clean the faucets, drain, and outer rim.
3. Run hot tap water into the drain to eliminate bad odor and soften any sticky materials that may threaten to clog the drain.
4. Create a blend of baking soda and lemon juice for the surface. Let this mixture stand for approximately 10 minutes before rinsing it away with hot water.
5. Create larger blend of baking soda and lemon juice for the drain. Pour this directly into the drain, and follow it with ½ cup white vinegar. Cover it and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil some hot water and pour it in.
