What are the 6 steps of cleaning the kitchen?

Do the dishes and declutter

To give yourself enough space for thorough cleaning, it’s important to first get rid of the clutter. Grab a box, collect any items that don’t belong in the kitchen, and place it in another room to tackle later. Then, take everything that does belong here and put it back in its place. This includes putting your dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher. 

Next, collect all your towels, aprons, and dish rags, toss them into the washing machine, and start the cycle. Do the dishes that you previously put away or start the dishwasher.

Dust the surfaces

Start your way from the top, wiping down the flight fixtures, tops of shelves and cupboards, and the fridge, and work your way down dusting windows and window sills, shelves, and tables, all the way to the baseboards. Once done, follow up with a damp cloth to remove any stuck-on grime and grease from the surfaces. 

Tackle small appliances & cooker

Take your time to disinfect both the inside and outside of appliances such as microwave, coffee pot, toaster, juicer, instant pot, or air fryer. 

Soak your stove burners in warm soapy water and if they’re electric, gently spot-clean with microfiber cloth and soap, avoiding connection points. For glass stovetops, use Barkeepers Friend or a glass stovetop cleaner and a microfiber cloth to wipe thoroughly. 

Sanitize the sink

You can use neutral pH disinfectant spray to sanitize the sink. Spray your cleaner and let it sink for several minutes, scrub, and rinse with water. If the sink is stainless steel, dry the sink and use stainless steel polish. 

Tackle garbage

Take out the garbage and use an all-purpose disinfectant to wipe down both the exterior and interior of the bin, including the hinges, lid, and foot pedal. Put in a scented liner, and your bin will be odor-free. 

Finish off with the floor

Thoroughly vacuum your floors, including all the crevices and cracks around your kitchen. Use a microfiber mop to disinfect the entire surface, and – voila! Your cooking haven is all tidy and ready for new culinary projects.
