Tip: Keeping the Kitchen Clean and Safe

Clean cutting boards and bench tops (not marble though) with undiluted white vinegar before and after use to fight harmful bacteria. I keep a spray bottle of white vinegar for this.

To clean your sponge or dishcloth, soak it in a mix of white vinegar and hot water for ten minutes.

Use a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to wipe out the fridge.

Clean your microwave by microwaving a bowl of water with lemon slices or a bowl of vinegar and water.

Clean the dishwasher by running it empty with a 1/2 cup of vinegar. You can also use vinegar instead of commercially made rinse aid.
