I personally use chemicals to clean my kitchen. It is faster for me and requires less effort.
About how often, the easiest is if you clean every time you make it dirty, but I don’t always have the time for that. Whenever I have a spare minute and I notice it is not looking nice, I try and do some cleaning and arranging.

I use baking soda for cleaning the sink. I use baking soda for cleaning pots and cooking materials, even the spoon with rusts. I use sand for some cooking pots that has a lot of charcoals.

The only product that works is the Terro liquid ant bait.
It is extremely expensive, but after using it, my house is free of ants.
There will still be ants coming from my neighbors to build nests in our house, but that happens once a year or more.
My first small bottle of ant bait lasted me for 5 years, until it is not that effective anymore.

@JoDee That is what I did. It grosses me out when I have them and there is usually so many of them. I clean everything off my counter and window sill. They are usually crawling up the back splash and in the sink. I cleaned out the sinks and killed all of them that I could find. Then I sprayed the window above my sink and all along the back…[Read more]

@morgoodie, yes and I was surprised when I went to put my bread loaves in bags, the ants were all over the bread!! I hadn’t even seen any prior to that!! So, I’m nipping the ant problem in the bud before they get out of control. So today, I’m doing some deep cleaning in the kitchen!! 😉
I have read that borax will do the job. I just use the ant traps. I seem to always get the teeny tiny ants around the sink and counter. I don’t get them in the cupboards themselves which I am glad. This year like you I just sprayed and have not seen them since. They drive me crazy when I find them.

The other day after I made some home made bread and was waiting for it to cool , I discovered there were ants on the cupboard!! It seems like last summer I also encountered ants on the counters. I tired vanilla, I tried vinegar to keep them away to no avail!! So, this year instead of fighting them, we bought some spray that will kill ants and…[Read more]

I like to use vinegar and water to keep my faucets shiny (and sinks when I have stainless steel sinks.) I also use vinegar and water to keep my stove top (the controllers) clean and shiny. To disinfect counter tops I use a mixture of bleach and water.
