Over time, they’ll lose their luster, so give them a thorough cleaning on a regular basis – that includes the insides and tops of the cabinets/drawers, not just the doors or facings.
Perhaps the greasiest and grimiest place in your kitchen is your stove top. And that means it can be a breeding ground for bacteria. So, give it a good cleaning – when it’s cooled off, of course – as often as possible. Here’s how:
