Try this tip to keep the hardest-to-reach crevice in your kitchen spotless

Almost all kitchens have one thing in common: the annoying gap of less than 2.5 cm between the stove and the worktop. This narrow space is one of the hardest places to reach in the entire house, making it nearly impossible to clean without thoroughly rearranging major appliances.

However, since the worktop and stove are where most cooking and dirt occurs, this area urgently needs a thorough cleaning to remove all crumbs, drips and stubborn food residue.

Most people hate cleaning this small gap because you usually have to move the oven to get there, which is very painful and can be dangerous. Luckily, there's a foolproof trick: All you need is aluminum foil and you'll never have to clean the floor between the oven and the wall again.

How to keep aluminum foil between the stove and the countertop clean

1 . Measure the length of the tear and add 4 inches to the length.

2 . Remove a sheet of aluminum foil the same size as your measurement.

3 . Fold the strip of aluminum foil in half lengthwise.

4 . Fold the edges of the aluminum foil to create a shape that resembles an aluminum boat. There is no science to this step. Simply fold the edges to form the sides.

5 . Slide your aluminum can into the gap between the wall and the oven so that it rests on the floor, and move it into the shade so that casual observers cannot see it.

It's a bit like a grill for this little crack. The aluminum pot catches all the crumbs and drips. You just need to throw it away when it gets dirty and replace it with a new canister.
