How to clean Kitchen & Door Handles?

In our daily lives, we often overlook the importance of regularly cleaning the surfaces we touch. One of the most frequently touched areas in our daily lives are doorknobs, door handles, and kitchen cabinet handles. Cleaning kitchen and door handles is essential to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of germs.

Here’s an effective step-by-step guide:

Supplies Required: 

Microfiber cloth or sponge
Dish soap
Warm water
White vinegar or rubbing alcohol
Baking soda (for tough stains)
Disinfectant spray or wipes
Old toothbrush (for detailed cleaning)

Cleaning Steps:

1. Basic Cleaning (Daily or Weekly)
Prepare a Cleaning Solution:
Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap.
Wipe the Handles:
Dip a microfiber cloth in the solution and wipe the handles to remove dirt and grease.
Rinse & Dry:
Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off any soap residue.
Dry with a clean towel to avoid water spots.

2. Deep Cleaning (For Tough Grease & Stains)
Use White Vinegar or Rubbing Alcohol:
Dampen a microfiber cloth with vinegar or rubbing alcohol and wipe the handles.
This helps break down grease and kill germs.
Scrub with Baking Soda (If Needed):
For sticky residues, sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth or toothbrush and scrub gently.
Rinse & Dry Thoroughly.

3. Disinfecting (Especially Important for High-Touch Areas)
Use a Disinfectant Spray or Wipes:
Spray a disinfectant (like Lysol) or use antibacterial wipes.
Let it sit for at least 30 seconds for proper sanitation.

4. Wipe Dry:
Use a clean cloth to remove any excess disinfectant.

Frequency Matters：

Generally, cleaning kitchen and doorknobs every few months is fine.
If your handles are on the outside of your home, or tend to get dirty easily, we recommend increasing the frequency to every few weeks.
