Work surfaces
For countertops, arguably one of the largest areas to keep clean in your kitchen, choose quartz, stainless steel or wear-resistant laminate as opposed to marble or wood. Those options provide stain resistance and are super easy to clean.
Doors and cabinets
Doors that have a smooth flat surface or have a gloss finish, will make daily cleaning and wiping down much easier. If you have painted cabinets, use a gentle cleaning solution so you don’t damage the paint - the same goes for kitchen walls.
If your kitchen cabinets or walls are in need of a new lick of paint, look for specialist paints that include anti-bacterial properties and are more durable against grease and cooking stains.
Utility rooms
If space allows, utility rooms are great to keep dirty laundry and muddy boots away from food preparation areas - keeping your kitchen clean and more hygienic.
A dedicated space for your washer and dryer, coats and all the items and gadgets you don’t want on display in your kitchen - sounds like bliss!
