As the UK experiences a heatwave with temperatures exceeding 25°C, cleaning expert Nancy Emery from Tap Warehouse warns that certain neglected kitchen areas can become hotspots for flies. While homeowners typically focus on removing rubbish and leftover food, Emery identifies three critical areas that require more attention: sink drains, pet feeding dishes, and unwashed recycling bins. She explains that food remnants in sink drains can attract flies, so a quick rinse or wipe with washing-up liquid after cooking can help maintain cleanliness. Pet food bowls should be cleaned daily to prevent leftover food from attracting pests. Additionally, unwashed food packaging in recycling bins can emit unpleasant odors, especially after barbecues, making it essential to rinse items before disposal. By prioritizing the cleaning of these areas, homeowners can keep their kitchens fresher and less inviting to flies during the summer months.
