Preparing for Valentines Day

So, you’ve decided to make an effort this year. There’s someone you believe deserves to be spoilt and you are going to cook them your fabulous signature dish. There will be candles, there will be wine and there will be romance…

There’s a lot to organise to make sure the evening is perfect and making sure your house is sparkling clean will be part of that. It will be a real shame if your special guest sees dirty tableware and is put off the gorgeous meal you’ve made.

Start with making sure the cutlery and crockery is clean. While filling a sink with hot water, pour in some dishwashing liquid.  Now you can use a traditional cleaning product here like Blendwell Chemicals Greendet. Alternatively, you can opt for an eco-friendly product like Enviroblend Greendet love the planet at the same time.

You don’t need to use a lot of either of these cleaning products – just a small squirt to create some foam. Now you don’t want too much foam as this will actually make cleaning more difficult. To clean your dishes you should use a cloth or soft sponge. Abrasive sponges should only be used for really stubborn dirt. Even your cutlery can be scratched by a sponge so you will want to be gentle (while still being tough on dirt). If you’re struggling to get a pot clean, first try soaking it with really hot water a squeeze of dish washing liquid and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then try to clean.

If you have double sinks, you should fill the other sink with warm water to rinse your cleaned dishes. Leave the dishes to drip dry a little and then give a final wipe with a clean, dry cloth before packing away.
