- Pick up everything that doesn’t belong in the kitchen and put it in a laundry basket.
- Fill the sink with soapy water and soak any dishes that need to be washed by hand. Stack anything else in the dishwasher.
- While the dishes soak, spray the counters with multipurpose cleaner, leave for a couple of minutes and wipe them down with a clean cloth.
- If you notice any splatters on the cupboard doors or stove top, wipe them down as well
- Wash the dishes in the sink and air dry.
- Sweep or vacuum the floors to pick up any crumbs.
Mop the floors once a week, and once a month thoroughly wipe down the front of each appliance and all cabinet doors.
Get some good kitchen habits:
- Don’t put it down, put it away!
- Have ONE messy drawer – you know, the one with rubber bands, novelty drinking straws and fridge magnets from your last holiday!
- Wipe up spills straight away, do the dishes while dinner is cooking and put ingredients away once you have used them.
- Keep all your cleaning equipment in one handy basket.
- Use wax paper to keep the tops of your overhead kitchen cupboards clean. The paper acts like a magnet to collect dust and grime – just change it a few times a year.
- Wipe down your cook top every time you use it - do the same with your oven and microwave.
- Use a smaller bin which is easy to empty rather than a large one where smelly rubbish can be hanging around all week.
