The kitchen is the center of the family house . we used to spent hours there every day. it is also the most important room for cleaning, and not only once a week when the team of "green clean phoenix" is coming... it must be cleaned every day!
1. Dirty kitchen will become a center of illness in no time , and not just because of rotten food, but also because of food that left on the counter or on the floor which will attract roaches and others to the party! who knows what these guys are carrying with them...
2. Save on your electric bill, YES, i know it's sounds crazy but think about it, if you have dust which all of us have in our homes ,if we don't clean it than the refrigerator doors are not sealed ,air is coming in and out and that will cost you money, same idea with other appliances. very important to clean the gasket .change the filters .
3. Entertain your guests with no fear! i know it is funny but when your family or friends are coming over it does look better for you if your kitchen looks good. and that is a fact!
4. Your appliances will survive for a longer time, if they be cleaned regularly (no chemicals).
5. If you see or smell rotten food, get it out of the house ASAP. major reason for illness. packaging the food is always a good idea.
6. Clean kitchen is also safe kitchen. when dirty and oily chances of catching fire are much higher.
7. Do not buy food for two or three weeks in advance, shop every two to three days . the food will be fresh and with less chances to get rotten or not be used at all.
8. Educate your family and friends!!!
