If you cook often, you know your kitchen gets dirty pretty quickly. There is just no way around it with all the chopping, mixing, measuring, grease splatter, and dirty dishes. Cooking is messy business, and since cooking happens in the kitchen. Your kitchen tends to suffer too. Most of us who cook frequently tend to clean our kitchens fairly frequently too (though maybe not as often as they should be).<\/p>\n

Despite regular cleaning<\/a>, there are some items that just don\u2019t get cleaned well or that we\u2019ve given up for hopeless. There are always multiple ways to clean everything, and some work better than others, so we\u2019ve gathered seven of the most pain-in-the-butt kitchen items to clean and offered two different tricks to get them perfectly (and easily) spotless. If one doesn\u2019t work for you, the other surely will.<\/p>\n

Pan Gunk<\/h2>\n

If you cook at all, you have had those times when you end up with pans that have burnt on gunk that doesn\u2019t even resemble food anymore. You may question how the pan got in that state, but you never question quite how difficult it is to clean it up. You are in luck though. It just became a whole lot easier. You\u2019ll need some baking soda, cream of tartar, and dish soap for this trick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pan Gunk Take Two<\/h2>\n

This alternative method for getting the gunk off pans and other kitchen items still has you using baking soda, but you can skip the dish soap and cream of tartar in favor of hydrogen peroxide (you know, that stuff in the medicine cabinet for disinfecting scrapes and cuts). The reaction these too ingredients cause is sure to get that gunk up in no time, leaving you with sparkling clean plans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wood Cutting Boards<\/h2>\n

To keep your wood cutting boards clean, you\u2019ll need a lemon and some coarse salt. Scrub with both as per these directions<\/a>. It may seem strange, but this is by far the best way to clean those wood boards. Too much water can damage and warp the wood, and harsh cleaning chemicals can sink into the wood, so you want to avoid both.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cutting Boards Take Two<\/h2>\n

If your cutting board is plastic, don\u2019t worry. There is a tip for you too. This tutorial <\/a>uses several methods to clean and white plastic cutting boards. You can see the recipe for each method as well as the results.\u00a0Use these methods and brighten your board as well as disinfect it, leaving you with a cutting board that looks, as well as is, clean.<\/p>\n

Greasy Kitchen Dust<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s really hard to reach the top of the cabinets, or the fridge for that matter, but dust loves to accumulate up there. The easiest way to deal with this is not with a step ladder or long-handled duster. It\u2019s with wax paper. Line the top of your cabinets with wax paper, and the dust will accumulate there, making clean up easy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greasy Kitchen Dust Take Two<\/h2>\n

Even with the preventative measures outlined in the previous tip, there will be some areas that just get greasy and will accumulate greasy dust. Luckily, it doesn\u2019t matter what type of area this is or what material it is made out of, the cleaning method is the same and is equally as easy. Check out this tutorial<\/a> to see how to clean those places in your kitchen that still seem to get greasy.<\/p>
