Regular cleaning in the kitchen is important for aesthetic reasons and for health. If we neglect cleanliness, food scraps or crumbs can attract insects. A clogged drain can make it impossible to wash dishes, and the resulting smell is unpleasant.

Hazel McKinnie and Claire Jenkins form a well-known TikTok duo that shares quick and thorough cleaning tips with internet users. Hazel and Claire run a cleaning company, so they know a lot about methods for keeping a home clean and shiny. Their account on the mentioned social media platform, @theweescottycleaners, is followed by nearly 100,000 users. The experts recently tackled a commonly forgotten kitchen spot requiring regular cleaning.

Clean the sink thoroughly. Here's the experts' advice

Although the sink initially looked clean, after lifting the plug, TikTok users saw the grime. Few people realize that food particles can accumulate in this spot.

- You will be shocked when you see what's inside - warned one of the experts, whose voice can be heard in the video.

Hazel and Claire advise using a metal strainer to lift the drain plug, which serves as a "key." After unscrewing the mentioned part, it becomes clear how much debris is inside!

The cleaning experts also emphasized placing a bowl under the sink pipes - when rinsing with water, it's likely that some fluid may leak during the cleaning process. Then, proceed to clean the inside of the drain using cleaning agents available in your home.
