 | kosher cleaning agent |
|
Dear Rabbi, two weeks ago I got to know that I am Jewish. My flat is a mess. To become kosher I first want to clean and to get in order everything. For me it is very important to use a kosher cleaning agent - as a starting sign. Which ingredients are allowed or prohibited? Is it possible to bottling a part of my kosher dish-washing-agent (from Danel) for cleaning purposes? Thanks a lot for your answer. Idi |

I wish you the best in your new quest for kosher. Actually, cleaning agents are among the least problematic items from a kosher perspective. They are caustic and inedible. Nevertheless, for cleaning dishes, it is better to get one that doesn't state 'soap'. Soap is made from animal derivatives. |

Dear Rabbi, Thank you very much. I feel relieved. My countertops are of wallboard with a veneer-imitation surface. My sink is made of dark brown very hard and thick plastic - when I touch it, is feels a bit like ceramic. To clean the 3 countertops and the one sink: is it better to use cloths or sponges? Is it better to use a caustic agent or a kosher non-soap-dish-washing-agent? Is it better to use one or three cloths/sponges for the sink - as it comes into contact with water of all three areas? May the sponges be in one of two materials: soft part and hard part? Is it better to use soft sponges or hard sponges? Shall the hard sponges be elastic or non-elastic? Thanks in advance. Idi |

The type of sponge does not matter. Either cleanser is ok as well. I recommend you look at our videos, especially the one on kosherizing a kitchen. |
