#kitchen-maintenance

Although it is one of the worst kitchen items to clean, regularly cleaning your microwave can prevent icky odors and drips that could affect the quality or taste of your food. You can also lower the risk of bacteria buildup and mold growth. Plus, after a while, letting messy residue accumulate in and on your appliance can even affect its performance and lifespan.

There's an easy way to make sure those undesired smells never form in your sink to begin with, and it takes just seconds. Add this to your list of kitchen tasks to do before leaving on holiday. Just fill a glass with cold water and pour it down the drain. Then, take a dampened paper towel and use it to cover the drain. Next, go enjoy your getaway and return home to an odor-free kitchen.
