Tips for a Clean Kitchen
Keeping a clean kitchen can be a daunting task. With constant traffic, and what seems like a never ending mess, it can sometimes seem as though it is impossible. As soon as you have cleaned your kitchen, and put everything away, someone would like a snack, or forgets to clean up after themselves. Here are some tips on how to keep a fresh and clean kitchen.
To keep a clean kitchen try to keep the counters as clear as possible. This is your work space when you are cooking, and it can be irritating to constantly have to move around decor, small appliances, or other clutter you may have gathered on the counter. Wipe down the counters to get rid of any crumbs, dust, or dirt that may have accumulated.
The fridge can be a danger zone when it comes to rotting food, forgotten take-out, and empty bottles. Pull your trash can up to the fridge and get rid of all empty condiment bottles and old food. After you have gotten rid of the old food, remove everything else from the fridge and do a wipe down of all the shelves and doors. Organize your drinks, sauces, dressings, veggies, produce, and meats. This can prevent your from having to take everything out of the fridge again just to find the margarine.
Clean your stove top to get rid of any spills or spots that may have been leftover from last night’s dinner preparation. The next task is the sink. Fill the dishwasher, remove items that have been sitting in the drying rack for a week, and put them away. Scrub your sink until it is a sparkling clean!
Before finishing your quick clean, swifter or mop the floors. The floors often get forgotten, but can gather crumbs, table scraps, dust, and dirt. Get rid of the trash, recycling, and you’ve got yourself a clean kitchen!
