I love cooking, and I tend to spend most of my weekend in the kitchen creating new recipes for my blog, but one of the things I hate the most is cleaning up! Whether I’m baking a cake, making dinner for my family or simply whipping up a snack for myself, there always seems to be chaos in the kitchen after.
The washing up is soon piled high blocking people from seeing in through my window, but I’ve recently tried a few things to make my life easier. One of the main ones is cleaning as I go. I now wash up as soon as I have something on the boil, or something baking in the oven, and it means the washing up isn’t so high at the end. I also clean up spills quickly too, and it means they’re less stubborn to remove as they havn’t began to dry. Another great tip is leaving my kitchenware to soak for 20-30 minutes, and this saves me plenty of time washing up, after a quick scrub, they’re usually ready to dry up!
