Your kitchen is the heart of your home, but it can also be the hardest space to keep spotless. With a few smart steps, you can deep clean your kitchen quickly and efficiently:
Step 1: Clear the Counters
Remove everything from countertops, including appliances and decor. Wipe surfaces with a disinfecting cleaner to remove crumbs, spills, and sticky residue.
Step 2: Tackle the Sink and Faucet
Scrub your sink with a gentle abrasive cleaner and don’t forget the faucet handles. Running hot water while scrubbing helps remove grime and soap buildup.
Step 3: Clean the Appliances
-
Microwave: Heat a cup of water with lemon juice for 2–3 minutes, then wipe down.
-
Oven: Use a commercial cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Let it sit, then scrub and wipe clean.
-
Refrigerator: Remove old food and wipe shelves with a mild soap solution.
Step 4: Cabinets and Drawers
Wipe down cabinet fronts and handles. A quick declutter inside drawers keeps utensils and gadgets organized.
Step 5: Floors
Sweep and mop last, so any dust or crumbs fall onto the clean floor.
