Glass features in the kitchen: how to always keep them clean using natural remedies

Beautiful and elegant, kitchens with glass units or surfaces are a very interesting alternative when it comes to choosing kitchen furniture. Whether it's just a door that serves as a showcase or a complete piece of furniture, glass undoubtedly has several advantages over wood: it is more resistant to stains, and is easier to clean than wood; it is not susceptible to mold, it is non-deformable, recyclable and replaceable in an ecologically friendly manner. However, like all things, glass also has some disadvantages and one in particular: cleaning it. Although it is easy, you need to be careful and use the right products, which are often, unfortunately, very expensive.

But is it possible to save some money (and the environment) by resorting to using natural DIY remedies and products? Of course it is and these are described below:

First of all, remember that it is best to clean the kitchen at least once a day, after you have finished preparing the meals. When this has not been possible for a few days, natural remedies can help us remove the annoying film of grim that will certainly have formed on our glass surfaces. However, our advice is to always test in an inconspicuous piece first, to be sure that the cleaning method or products do not stain or scratch the glass. These products are listed below:

• Marseille soap or yellow soap: two products always present in our house, these are usually used for removing stains from laundry. Well, they can also be used to clean glass: just grate the soap into flakes that you will put on a soft sponge and use it to wipe over the glass surfaces to be cleaned. Rinse off and dry with a microfibre cloth.
• Bicarbonate: this is a product to be used sparingly, and only in cases of particularly thick and encrusted grim because it has a slightly abrasive action. Dowse the bicarb with water until it forms a gel that you can put on a soft sponge. Rub over the glass, then rinse off and dry.
• White vinegar: another very useful product, you can use it by mixing 3 parts vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle. When needed, spray the mixture on the glass surface and wipe off with a soft sponge. Dry with a microfiber cloth.
• Lemon juice: you can use the filtered juice of a lemon mixed with water in equal parts in a spray bottle, just like the vinegar method described above. Rinse off with plenty of water and dry.

Now, you just need to choose your favorite remedy and give it a try: you will see your glass surfaces gleam again!
