Kitchen certainly is the most important room of your house. A spick and clean kitchen is a pre-requisite to clean and healthy food. Although cleaning kitchen isn’t that easy, it is important that you do it. Moreover, while doing it, it is important that you take good care of your health, as sometimes in an attempt to make your kitchen clean and healthy, you end up jeopardising your own health.

4 – Tips to take care of your health during kitchen cleaning

1. Wear a dust mask

This is the most important step if you are suffering from asthma or some other similar respiratory disease. Otherwise too, it’s better to be safe than to be sorry. Dust never did well to anyone, and it would be best if you avoid it.

Depending upon your sensitivity towards dust, you can buy any suitable dust mask available in the market. If, however, you think that it is not a big deal, covering your nose and mouth with a plain cloth would also work.

2. Have someone for your support

Cleaning your kitchen together not only saves you work, it also saves the chances of injury. The best way to go about it is to have one person do the cleaning and to have the other person hand him all the cleaning equipments.
Not only the work is too much for a single person, moreover, you are also in very good spirits when you are doing something together.

3. Take care of the glass jars

You wouldn’t want to knock off your precious glass jars with just the nudge of your elbow. No matter how much precaution you take while cleaning, this happens. The worse is when you later step on the glass splinters of the jar that you knocked out while cleaning.

The best remedy to this is to take out the glass jars in advance and to shift them to a safe place. Apart from averting danger, it would also make it easy for you to clean your kitchen.

4. Watch your step

If you have decided to clean every nook and corner of your kitchen, it goes without saying that you would be climbing shelves and countertops. This leaves you at a considerable risk for falling. Just one false step might ruin your life. So, make sure that you watch your step. Rather than climbing on shelves and countertops, it’d be better if you use a safe and handy ladder to achieve the task. If you want to reduce the risk of injury even further, try laying a mattress on the kitchen floor before you begin with the cleaning.

 Final Words

The best way to take care of your health during kitchen cleaning is by maintaining a clutter free kitchen. You should try to use equipments that serve multiple purposes without occupying much space. For example this multi function cooker available in Malaysia is one such wonderful minimalist kitchen appliance.
