How to Deep Clean Your Kitchen Like a Pro

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.
