The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the house. Even if you’re locked in with a daily cleaning routine, there are plenty of ways that germs, dirt, and grime can build up. Food, bacteria, mold, mildew, and worse may be lingering in unexpected places.
That’s why we’re here. Charlie’s Soap offers an array of powerful household cleaners to help tackle the toughest messes, no matter where they’re hiding. Let’s talk about the dirtiest things in your kitchen that you’ll want to tackle ASAP—and how to get them squeaky clean.
The Sink
It can be easy to forget that you have to clean the tools that you use to clean. The kitchen sink is a classic example of this. Every time you scrub the dishes, use the garbage disposal, or dump spoiled milk, your sink gets the lion’s share of leftover bacteria, residual food, and clingy germs. Chances are, the sink is one of the dirtiest things in your kitchen.
Luckily, Charlie’s makes getting your sink in tip-top shape easy. Spray the sink down with our multi-purpose Kitchen & Bath Cleaner. Our formula is so gentle that you don’t have to use gloves, wear a mask, or worry about residual cleaner sticking to your dishes, and we’ve left out all those dyes, perfumes, and fillers. Instead, our products are packed with eco-friendly cleaning power that breaks down grime and leaves you with a streak-free finish.
Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes while Charlie’s works its magic, and wipe it away with a damp cloth. Then, take a second to clean your garbage disposal and say goodbye to dirty sinks.
Dish-Washing Scrub Brushes
Like your kitchen sink, your scrub brush has probably seen better days. The bristles in the brush are the perfect place for food residue to hide; over time, this can fester. When you wash your next round of dishes, you might be spreading germs and bacteria—all from your scrub brush.
Start by rinsing your scrub brush thoroughly in warm water to flush out food particles. It’s best to be thorough—comb through the bristles with a fork to dislodge any stubborn pieces. Once you’ve removed as much residue as possible, it’s time to soak the brush in a powerful cleaner. Our personal favorite? Charlie’s Indoor & Outdoor Cleaner. It has extra cleaning power and is ideal for removing grease and grime. Pour the Indoor & Outdoor cleaner into a cup or a dishpan, and then place the dish brush, bristle-end down, into the solution. You’ll want to give it plenty of time to soak. The more time our cleaner has to break down the built-up residue, the better. After at least an hour, rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water and then hang it to dry.
Handles
Drawer handles, fridge handles, oven handles—your kitchen is covered in surfaces that are breeding grounds for germs. It’s a good idea to give these high-touch surfaces a regular once-over. Our multi-purpose Kitchen & Bath Household Cleaner comes in a convenient spray bottle that makes it perfect for targeting your kitchen handles. Simply spray and use a damp cloth to wipe away layers of grime across the most-used handles of your kitchen.
Oven Mitts and Pot Holders
Let’s be real: it’s hard to remember to wash your oven mitts and pot holders. They’re that tool that you whip out of the drawer, use for two minutes, and then tuck safely away. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean they don’t get dirty. Over time, oven mitts can accumulate a fair amount of food residue and grease. If ignored, this can damage the fabric, affect the color and texture, and contribute to odor.
The good news is that most oven mitts are machine-washable. If they’re washer-friendly, you can toss them in with powerful, grease-fighting laundry solutions. That’s where Charlie’s comes in. Our liquid and powder laundry detergents are designed to take on even the dirtiest, greasiest laundry. For extra stain-fighting power, add some of our chlorine-free oxygen bleach. Then, wash your oven mitts according to the care instructions and lie them flat to air-dry.
