PEP BB nest.sand.kitchen - Clean a Kitchen

My sister has a glass stovetop too and I mixed hydrogen peroxide with baking soda into a paste and that cleans the top better than any commercial/chemical cleaner she has tried. I used my fingers as the scrub brush then wiped it up.  It may or may not help your stovetop but I wanted to share.

Cleaned the kitchen yesterday...

Used baking soda, and the same dish soap used for the “wash dishes by hand” bb:
Soap is Biovert biodegradable plant based that we buy in 10l jugs through a bulk buying club.

I cleaned the kitchen after completing several cooking related Natural Medicine badge bits. These are before and after pictures of the following:

I didn't use any cleaners - just a rag and water.

To complete this BB I cleaned our kitchen sink, counters, table, stovetop, and floor.

I used no soap, just a terrycloth rag, a plastic scraper (very good for cleaning corners), and water.

I plan on making some wooden versions of the plastic scraper in the future out of scrap hardwood, but I'm not there yet.

I clean the kitchen two to three times a day because we have had ant and cockroach problems, the frequent cleaning certainly helps.

I figured if I was going to take pictures I may as well clean more than I usually do, so I used the opportunity to deep clean everything from the walls, the dish rack, our utensil hanger, and the drain. I also discovered that the caulking around the edges is going bad, which may be one of the reasons we have ant problems. I'll be re-caulking it as soon as I get an appropriate caulk. Is there a badge for that?

I used only water as a cleaner.

Rainy day means cleaning day!

The cleaning solution used is a vinegar based product and is organic and environmentally friendly. I apologise for it being in Finnish but the direct translation is "Ecological Organic Cleaning Vinegar." As well as this we used some of the homemade rags from the make your own rags (https://permies.com/wiki/pep-bb-nest-sand-rag-clothes) BB and good ol' fashioned elbow grease.

A clean house means a clean mind.
