5 Decoration Suggestions On Kitchen Cleaning

Kitchen-a space carrying fireworks on earth, is also the most messy place in the home!

A good kitchen design can reduce the pressure of cleaning! If you have high requirements on hygiene, you should consider the practical problems in the future when designing kitchen for decoration ~

Kitchen countertops

The countertop is the facade of the kitchen and is often used. Contaminated and damaged kitchen countertops usually have problems such as scratches, cracks, high temperature, bleeding or deformation.

When we choose the countertop material, the direction is clear:

1). use "natural stone" with caution.

Representative materials are marble, granite, etc.

Using these materials to make the back of kitchen countertops will cause many problems. Because marble has a porous structure and weak strength, it is almost impossible to avoid scratches and bleeding.

Granite is wear-resistant and oil-resistant, but its price is unfriendly, so it needs to be maintained. It is not recommended for ordinary families.

2). "Quartz stone" is the first choice for cost performance.

Acrylic artificial stone and quartz artificial stone are two common materials in modern kitchen decoration, but many people have stepped on the pit, saying that the artificial stone countertops bought at home turn yellow and crack in a few days, which is actually not normal.

Theoretically, acrylic artificial stone is actually adding aluminum hydroxide to the resin. The characteristics of this material are that it is not easy to bleed, and the table top can have no joint. At the same time, it has high plasticity, arbitrary radian and shape, and it is tough and not easy to crack.

Note: However, due to the high cost of aluminum hydroxide, some merchants will add calcium carbonate to the materials.

Quartz stone has higher cost performance, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, water resistance and stain resistance.

Basin and sink selection

Basins and sinks  are important sewage systems in kitchens. Clean water sources are used for cooking and cleaning, but polluted water sources tend to breed stench and mold.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the selection of counter basin and the use of glass glue in decorating kitchen.

1). Choose drop-In Sink

Whether it's an top-mount or a undermount, there will be a problem of cleaning dead corners. Especially the glass glue at the edge seal is the place where stains are most likely to breed.

The drop-in sink refers to a type of sink with the edge flush with the table top. The installation method is to make holes in the table top and polish it according to the scale, so as to ensure that the table top and the edge of the sink are kept on the same horizontal plane.

In this way, there is no gap between the countertop and the basin, and the problems of bacteria and color bleeding are naturally eliminated. However, this design process is complicated and expensive.

If the budget is not enough, you can choose the neutral, waterproof and mildew-proof glass glue, which is also the best alternative.

2). Quartz stone is the best material for the basin.

We talked about the material quartz earlier, so I won't repeat it.

The problem of stainless steel basin is that scale is easy to appear, and it is not easy to clean. If it is not selected, it is easy to deform. If the requirements are not very high, stainless steel is also the most popular choice, but we must pay attention to selecting stainless steel basin with quality assurance. The problem with ceramic pots is that they are fragile and easy to crack, so they are not suitable for use in places like kitchens.

The advantages of quartz stone basin are heat resistance, water resistance and wear resistance, but don't buy inferior quartz stone basin.

3). Install garbage disposers

Kitchen garbage can be easily crushed from kitchen to garbage disposal, which can prevent bacteria and mosquitoes from breeding.

4). Telescopic faucet.

You can wash every corner of the basin in all directions by installing a telescopic faucet.

It should also be noted that telescopic faucets should be freely rotatable, which is more practical.

Selection of walls, floors and cabinets

1). Floor tiles are antiskid and wall tiles are antifouling.

The basic requirements of the kitchen floor are: anti-skid, dirt-resistant, waterproof and wear-resistant. Don't use polished tiles. If you come into contact with oil and water, polished tiles will become very smooth. It is dangerous to slip.

Glazed tiles can be selected as wall tiles. This material has smooth surface, strong anti-pollution ability, and is not afraid of oil pollution penetration.

2). Cabinet panels should be easy to clean and durable.

There are many materials for door panels of cabinets in the market, such as PVC, melamine and acrylic ... However, from the point of view of easy cleaning and durability, HPL, acrylic, blister panels and metal plates are all good choices.

If there is no requirement for pattern and decoration, you can choose a flat, smooth and less decorative frame, which is not easy to produce dead corners of grey layer and is convenient for cleaning.
