Kitchen is the place where a lot of cleaning is required due to everyday cooking.  If we do not make it a habit to keep it clean, it would be a ground for bacteria to grow and many pests to come and dwell there.  Therefore it is very important to keep it clean and germ free.  If you develop the following habits you will be able to keep your kitchen always sparkling clean:

1.  Keep a towel handy: To dry your hands after washing before cooking keep a towel handy so that your hands are clean while touching the vegetables, flour, and pulses and you don’t touch any containers if your hands are not clean.  You wash and dry them with the towel before using any containers.

2.  Keep a kitchen towel under the chakla: If you keep a cloth under the chakla while making rotis it helps in two ways, first the chakla will not move from its place while rolling chapatis and second all the dry flour will be collected on the kitchen towel, which helps in cleaning later.

3.  Wash the knives and chopping board immediately after use: To avoid any germs on the knives and chopping board, wash the knives and chopping board immediately after use.  If you don’t wash it immediately the chopping board may get stained and it may get harder to clean it later.

4.  Put peel of your vegetables in a plate: While peeling your vegetables don’t put the peels on the countertop of the kitchen as it would then require some effort to clean it.  Instead you can put the peels of your vegetables in a plate so that your kitchen countertop remains clean.

5.  Wash the blender immediately after usage:  If you do not wash the blender immediately after using it, the food residue will accumulate and it will be difficult to clean it.  It will also leave stains on the blades. So after using it pour some water with few drops of dish soap and blend it.  The blender will be cleaned easily without any efforts.  Wash it now with normal tap water and let it dry.

6.  Place all the food containers and spice boxes at their place after cooking: Once you are done with the cooking always put the food containers and spice boxes at their designated place.  It helps to keep the kitchen clean and organized and avoids unnecessary clutter on the countertop.

7.  After cooking clean your oil dispenser, spice container, and fridge handle: After cooking you must give a good wipe to the oil dispenser, spice container and fridge handle as you touch it many times during cooking and it gets stained.  Giving it a wipe every time you cook will keep your kitchen stain free and reduce the effort of cleaning it later.

8.  Soak the dishes in the water during night: If you wash your utensils yourself, then wash them in the night before going to bed.  If you have a house help that comes in the morning to wash the utensils, then soak all the dishes in the water during night.  Remove all the leftover food from the dishes before putting them into the sink.  This will keep germs and pests away from your kitchen.

9.  Remember to wash your sponge and scrubber: One of the things that absorbs water and gives a foul smell if left unclean is the sponge and scrubber that is used to wash the utensils.  Also it becomes a house of many germs if left unclean.  So soak it into the soap water and completely rinse the soap water.  You can disinfect scrubber in plain hot water.

10.  Rinse and dry the cleaning cloth and sponge wipe after cooking: You should always rinse and dry the cloth and sponge that you use to wipe after your cooking is finished.  This helps in keeping your kitchen countertop sparkling clean and your cloth bacteria free.

If you put the above practices into your habit it will keep your kitchen always clean and organized and you will love to cook there.  At Creativebuild we provide you with a modular kitchen that is functional, easy to maintain, and easy to organize.

It is important that before you design your kitchen you ask some questions to have a complete clarity about your needs so that you may design your kitchen accordingly.  Here are 8 most important questions that you must ask before designing your kitchen.

1.  Who is going to cook in the kitchen most of the time, me or my cook?: Based on the answer of this question you will design your kitchen. If you are going to cook in your kitchen then it could have even a light colour of cabinets, which is not so easy to maintain, whereas if it is your cook who is going to cook in the kitchen the cabinet should be of darker shade as it would be easy to maintain.

2.  How many times we are going to cook in the kitchen?: If you cook once in a day you many not require too much counter space and may require lesser storage but if you cook twice in a day or thrice in a day then you will need a lot of counter space and lot of space for storage as kitchen would be used more frequently and all the cutting and peeling, and washing work will happen for which you will need counter space and since many utensils will be needed for cooking, you will need more storage.

3.  What should be the placement of my gas stove as per the vastu?: The most important thing about the kitchen is the placement of the gas stove. The right direction for the placement of gas stove as per vastu is the southeast direction of the kitchen.  You should be facing in the east direction for cooking the food.  According to the placement of the gas stove you can decide where you want to put the shelves above the countertop and what type of storage will come right under the gas stove.  You may be wanting a storage for your ladles and pans and utensils that you need for cooking right under the gas stove.  If you are going to place a cooking range you will leave space for that and have your storage in the side.

4.  How often do I use my mixer-grinder, where should I place it?: You should ask how often you use your mixer-grinder while cooking.  If you want to put it on the countertop for the frequent use or if you want to put in the storage as you do not need it every day.  For a cleaner look you must opt for putting your mixer-grinder in the storage, however if you are using it with every meal that you are cooking then it could be cumbersome to take it out every time and in that case you can designate a permanent place for it in your countertop and keep cleaning the appliance after every use.

5.  Where would I place my gas cylinders?: It is important to decide a place for your gas cylinders.  If it would be placed inside the kitchen or there is a place outside the kitchen in your home like a store room or a storage in the kitchen balcony.  If you do not have any such storage then you will have to make a storage for it in the kitchen and design the rest of the storage for utensils accordingly.

6.  Where would I place my microwave?: You should answer this question as well as to where would you place your microwave?  If it would be placed on the countertop or inside a storage with a shutter or inside an open storage.  The place for microwave has to be decided for you to design a storage that includes a space for your microwave.

7.  Do I want space for storing my groceries?: You must decide storage for your groceries based on how frequently you buy your groceries.  If you stock up your groceries for a month then you need a storage for that and if you buy grocery in small quantities on as needed basis then you do not need much storage for it and you can keep storage space for other things.

8.  Where would I place my water storage?: You need to decide a place for your water storage.  You need to answer this question as to whether you would store water in a water dispenser or in an earthen pot or if you would install a water purifier.  If you are putting a earthen or steel pot for water storage, you will have to keep a separate space for that or else if you are installing a water purifier you will have to find a place for it.
