Special Considerations for UK Kitchens
Hard Water Areas
Many UK regions have hard water, which leaves limescale deposits on taps, sinks, and appliances. Professional cleaners use specialised descaling solutions to remove these deposits effectively.
Rental Properties
Professional kitchen cleaning is essential between tenancies to ensure properties meet letting standards. Deep cleaning protects deposits and ensures tenant satisfaction.
High-Use Kitchens
Kitchens used frequently for cooking, entertaining, or commercial purposes require more regular deep cleaning to maintain hygiene and prevent grease buildup.
❌Common Kitchen Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid
- ⚠Using abrasive cleaners on delicate surfaces (scratching worktops and appliances)
- ⚠Ignoring extractor hood filters (major source of grease and odours)
- ⚠Not cleaning inside cupboards (hidden food residues attract pests)
- ⚠Skipping oven cleaning (fire hazard and health risk)
- ⚠Using wrong products on appliances (damaging seals and surfaces)
- ⚠Not sanitising after cleaning (bacteria remain even if surfaces look clean)
