What is It
Work surface is a flat surface usually in the kitchen. It should be easy to
clean or disinfect. The surface should be smooth, washable and made of non-toxic
materials. Kitchen surfaces provide an area to prepare food, keep essentials close to
hand and can also be used to create a bespoke design feature in a space.
Hygiene is particularly important in the kitchen. Surface materials should
prevent bacteria and mold growth.
Types of kitchen surfaces that need to be cleaned and sanitized
1. Countertops/Worktops
2. Floors
3. Walls and ceiling
4. Stovetops
5. Sink
Cleaning kitchen surfaces
1. Countertops/Worktops - is a horizontal work surface in kitchens or other food
preparation areas.
Cleaning methods for kitchen counters vary almost as much as the materials
themselves, whether wood, glass or granite countertops.
Different types of counter tops
a. Granite – a highly popular stone. It offers natural protection against mold
and mildew. It is also easy to clean up because this rock will not absorb or
risk being distorted in anyway by chemicals used to clean its surface.
How to clean granite:
1. Wipe and rinse with warm soapy water.
2. Avoid abrasive cleansers that may cause scratches.
3. To remove stains, apply a baking soda paste, cover it with plastic
wrap, then let it sit overnight. Wipe with warm water and a soft
cloth.
5
b. Tile - is heat-resistant and this means you can put hot pots and pans on
it without worrying that it will get damaged.
How to clean tiles:
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.
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.
6
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.
2. 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.
7
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
4. 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.
8
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.
Benefits of maintaining kitchen surfaces clean
1. Prevent foodborne illness
2. Limit household use of harsh chemicals
3. Extend the life of your appliances, countertops etc.
4. Manage food more efficiently
5. Safe
6. Set a good example for others
General kitchen cleaning tips
1. Make sure to wear protective clothing when cleaning particularly if you’re
using chemical products.
2. Always read and follow the instructions on any chemical cleaning products
you buy.
3. Keep the area you are cleaning well-ventilated by turning on the extractor
fan or opening window.
9
4. If you’re using cleaning products for the first time, test it on a small,
inconspicuous area first to make sure it won’t cost discoloration or
damage.
Did you learn something? Very good! Now, let’s have more
activities to master the lesson.
