10 Ways to Clean A Kitchen

According to Homeforward you should do the following if you want a clean kitchen:

1. Gather the supplies you need: trash container, recycling bins, basket or bag for things that don’t belong in the kitchen, dish soap, disinfectant and other cleaners you normally use, dishrag or sponge, scrubber for stuck-on food, broom and dustpan, mop or old large towel.

2. Fill up a sink with hot, soapy water. (If you have a double sink with a garbage disposal on one side, make sure to use the side without the disposal. Keeping the disposal side available will allow you to scrape leftovers down it quickly while you work.) Scrape the food off the dishes into the trash or into the garbage disposal, and place dishes that need to soak in the hot, soapy water. Put the most heavily soiled dishes on the bottom. Large dishes like pans and bowls can be filled with hot soapy water to soak.

3. Put away ingredients and kitchen supplies into cupboards or the refrigerator. Dispose of old leftovers from the refrigerator and wipe up any spills inside the refrigerator. Slide your refrigerator out from time to time and sweep behind it.

4. Clear and clean the stove top and wipe down the front of the stove. If necessary, clean the oven by scraping any burned food out onto a piece of newspaper. Then put a small glass bowl with 1⁄2 cup full-strength ammonia in the oven overnight and wipe the oven out the next day.

5. Clear counters and wipe them down with disinfectant. Move the appliances that are on the counter and wipe under them, then line them up neatly again.

6. Wash and put away dishes.

7. Scrub the sink and wipe down faucets. (Hint: to remove rust stains from sinks and tubs, pour a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on the stain and sprinkle with cream of tartar. Let sit for half an hour, then wipe off and rinse well.)

8. Pick up trash and empty the wastebasket into a trash bag for removal. Separate bottles, cans, and containers into recycling bins.

9. Pick up all items that belong in other rooms and place them in a bag or box.

10. Sweep up and mop.
