Buying checklist
What to look for before you buy, from professionals who use these every day.
| Product | What to look for | Our team's tip |
|---|---|---|
| Degreasers | Food-safe, works on tiles and chimney filters, no strong fumes | Warm the surface slightly; grease lifts much faster. |
| Countertop cleaners | pH-neutral for granite and marble; avoid vinegar and lemon on stone | Acids etch marble permanently. Test on a hidden corner. |
| Steel and copper cleaners | Non-abrasive paste or liquid | Rub along the grain of steel to avoid swirl marks. |
| Drawer organisers and liners | Washable liners, adjustable dividers, measured to your drawers | Measure before you buy: Indian modular drawers vary a lot. |
| Storage jars | Airtight, clear, stackable, with labels | Store masalas away from the hob to keep colour and aroma. |
