2. Kitchen Deep Clean: Beyond the Counters

The kitchen requires a focus on grease, grime, and food safety. Moving appliances and cleaning hidden spaces are key to a truly clean kitchen.

1. Appliance Appreciation

Clean the oven interior with a targeted oven cleaner or a natural paste of baking soda and vinegar. Degrease the stovetop and range hood filter. Run a cleaning tablet or vinegar cycle through the dishwasher and coffee maker. Don't forget to vacuum the refrigerator coils to improve efficiency.

2. Cabinet & Drawer Details

Empty all cabinets and drawers. Wipe down the interiors with a multi-surface cleaner to remove crumbs and spills. Before replacing items, discard expired food, duplicate utensils, and mismatched containers. Use shelf liners for easier future clean-ups.

3. Sink & Fixture Sanitization

Disinfect the sink with a cleaner designed for stainless steel or ceramic. Use an old toothbrush and disinfectant to scrub around the faucet base and handles. Soak drain stoppers in hot, soapy water.
