Tired of greasy kitchens that collect grime easily? If your kitchen is modest-sized, it will get sticky walls and gather dirt and grease rather quickly. Here are some easy, functional ways which can help you clean your kitchen easily and also help maintain the cleanliness and prevent grime.

Vinegar and baking soda are natural cleaning agents that are both effective and safe for most kitchen surfaces. Vinegar’s acidity helps break down grease, while baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to scrub away stubborn spots.

Lemon juice is a natural degreaser due to its acidity, and salt adds an abrasive element that helps scrub away grease without damaging surfaces. Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle salt on the cut side. Use the salted lemon to scrub greasy surfaces, applying pressure as needed.
