season of extravagant dinner parties, pie cook-offs and family potlucks. In a
nutshell, it’s a time where many of your loved ones will be spending lots of time in
your kitchen. So it’s no surprise that you are wanting your kitchen to look
top-notch when the festivities begin filling up your calendar. Getting your kitchen
up to par, does not mean your holiday season has to become the season of
headaches. Here are some easy tips to ensure your kitchen is fine-tuned for
hosting the perfect dinner party and bullet proof for major cleanups or accidents
later.
Give your appliances a good touch-up.
Checking your microwave for spaghetti sauce splatters or remnants of Easy Mac
is a simple clean that is often overlooked. To avoid a self-clean cycle going
extremely wrong, use a wet rag to clean inside your oven. Test-run your
dishwasher to make sure it can handle a large amount of dishes. Use white
vinegar and a sponge to remove any residue left on the door and door gasket.
Double-check your home’s safety mechanisms.
If small children will be attending your events, you’ll want to make sure your
kitchen is not only party ready, but childproof as well. Ensure all electrical plugs
are covered, glass items and lamps are placed away from table edges, and
stairways or other potentially accident-prone areas are blocked off. Make sure
your fire extinguisher is stored nearby, your smoke detector and CO2 batteries
are good, and your first-aid kit is fully stocked.
