Deep Cleaning Your Kitchen in the UAE: Grease, Odours and Safe Sanitising

The kitchen is where grease and bacteria build up fastest. A guide to cleaning the hob, cabinets and fridge with safe products in the UAE climate.

Why Does the Kitchen Need Special Attention?

The heat in the UAE speeds up the growth of bacteria on damp surfaces. Daily cooking leaves grease on the extractor hood, the hob and the upper cabinets. A quick surface clean every day is essential, but a deep clean every 2–4 weeks prevents grease and odours from building up.

Deep Cleaning Steps

1. Empty the cabinets and wipe the shelves inside.
2. Clean the hob and extractor hood — built-up grease needs a suitable degreaser.
3. Microwave: steam from water plus lemon loosens stains without harsh chemicals.
4. Fridge: take everything out, wipe the shelves and check expiry dates.
5. Drains: pour in a mix of baking soda and vinegar, followed by boiling water.

Family-Safe Products

Choose products without strong ammonia if you have children. Let the kitchen air out after cleaning. Never mix different products — it's a health hazard.
