The Most Effective Way to Clean Your Kitchen

You clean to cook, you cook and then you clean what you cooked.Is this how most of your nights in the kitchen are spent? All that cleaning might make you wonder if you are doing it right. In this instance, there really isn't a wrong way to do it, but like most things, there is a best way! 

Step 1: Clear It Out

The kitchen is not a place for debris like unread mail, toys and shoes. Before you really dig deep into your cleaning, make sure you clear the floor, counters and drawers of anything that doesn't belong. 

Step 2: Take Care of the Sink 

Take some dish soap and give it a few squirts into your empty sink. Once you are satisfied, fill the sink halfway with warm water and begin scrubbing the walls with a sponge. After the whole sink is coated, let the soap settle and do its job in removing grease and stains. 

Step 3: Dust the High Areas

Knock dirt and dust off of these neglected areas into a place where you can sweep them off later. Leaving these hard to reach areas alone will lead to a musty, allergy filled kitchen area. 

Step 4: Wipe the Stovetop 

Remove grill racks and set them aside in a safe place. Once your stove is clear, spray it down with some disinfectant and go to work. After you finish washing the dirtiest place in your kitchen- toss the rag, you won't be needing that again. Feel free to clean your grill racks too if they were the victim of some sauce overflow! 

Step 5: Wipe the Countertops 

This is the spot you really want to shine. If you have granite counters, the best course of action is to use a disinfectant wipe first. Begin by knocking all the crumbs to the ground and put some effort into scrubbing out those tough stains. Once this is complete, spray some granite cleaner onto your counters and wipe in a circular motion until they are sparkling. 

Step 6: Sweep

Put on your best Cinderella impression and sweep those floors! All of the dust and crumbs that you knocked onto the floor throughout the process aren't going to get up and walk away on their own.
