Looking after your kitchen

Your kitchen is the hub of your home and sees a lot of hard work, if you treat it right and give it a little TLC it'll last a long time – and stay looking great.

• Never chop food directly in your kitchen sink, or allow any sharp objects to grate against the surface.
• Grit can easily get embedded in the underside of plastic sink bowls that will gradually scratch and wear away your sink’s surface.
• Stainless steel sinks should be dried after use to prevent watermarks, and harsh or abrasive chemicals should not be used when cleaning.
• To brighten a dull stainless steel sink scrub it with a little bicarb of soda, then rinse with white vinegar followed by plenty of clean water. Finally, a buff with kitchen paper and a dab of olive oil should keep your sink shiny for many weeks.

• Remove grate, burners and rings and soak in a mixture of soap and hot water.
• Spray the hob with a multi-surface cleaner, following the application instructions.
• Wipe down the hob with a non-abrasive cloth, wiping away any debris, then buff with a dry cloth.
• Clean any remaining dirt from the burners, rings and grate with a soft pad.
• Dry burners, rings and grate thoroughly before replacing them.
• Wipe with a small amount of baby oil to bring to a high shine.
