Reset food and dish areas after use
Store or discard food appropriately, clear dishes and wipe food-contact benches with a product permitted for the material. Rinse when the label requires it and keep cleaning products away from food and utensils.
Clean spills before they build up
Blot or wipe fresh spills using a surface-compatible method. Remove loose crumbs before damp cleaning floors, and do not scrape or scrub a finish that may be delicate.
Keep the sink and rubbish area manageable
Clear the sink, use a suitable strainer and empty ordinary rubbish before it overflows. Plumbing faults, blocked drains and waste disposal are separate from routine kitchen surface cleaning.
Use appliance instructions
Switch appliances off and let hot surfaces cool before cleaning. Follow each manual for oven, cooktop, microwave, refrigerator and filter care; do not spray liquid into vents, controls or electrical parts.
Store products and keep tasks distinct
Keep products in original labelled containers away from children and pets, and never mix cleaners. Deep cleaning, appliance interiors, repairs, pests and hazardous materials may require separate scope or qualified providers.
