The first step is to clean the counter tops of any clutter. It could be junk mail Cheap Za'Darius Smith Jersey , notes to family members, grocery bags, cookbooks, or any number of items. Find these items a home whether it be the trash can, or the shelf where they belong. After you have cleaned off the counters, fill your sink with hot water and some dish soap. Put things in the hot water that need soaking. These can be items like your glass turntable from the microwave Cheap Matt Skura Jersey , perhaps a crisper drawer from the fridge, or the spoon rest on the stove.


Next step is to empty out the refrigerator. Throw out any food that has expired. If you have storage containers that you have emptied the food out of, throw those into the sink to soak as well. Clean the refrigerator shelves, starting at the top and working down to the bottom. You can use a paper towel, or a cleaning rag. Spray the towel or rag with some nontoxic all-purpose cleaner and wipe away.


Now you want to dust up high in the kitchen, knocking the dirt and dust to the floor. We’ll get to that later. The handiest way is to use a simple telescoping duster and start up above your sink. Work your way around the kitchen Cheap Ty Montgomery Jersey , cleaning the tops of cabinets, upper corners, and even the light fixtures. Don’t forget the top of the refrigerator. When you make it back around to the sink, you are ready for the next step.


Next you will want to clean the upper cabinets along with any items you may have on your kitchen walls. If you have a mounted microwave, it needs to be included. Use the nontoxic all-purpose cleaner and spray down the inside of your microwave. You will need to let it set for a couple of minutes. Using a damp, soapy rag or cloth Cheap Maxx Williams Jersey , you need to wipe down the exterior of your microwave. If it is stainless steel, do not use the soapy rag, simply dilute some white vinegar and use a cloth to wipe away any fingerprints. Then wipe the doors and of the upper cabinets you’ve cleaned, making sure to get the pulls as well as any frames, hooks, or vent grates as you go around the kitchen. If you have a backsplash Cheap Ronnie Stanley Jersey , clean it with a fresh damp, soapy cloth.


The microwave has sat long enough with the cleaner; wipe the all-purpose solution from the microwave using a dry cloth. If you have crumbs or such, just knock them out on to the floor, as we will get to that later. Spray the stovetop with your all-purpose cleaner. I suggest you let it sit for a few minutes. While the stove top has cleaner sitting, you can wash up the items soaking in the sink, or if you want Cheap Marlon Humphrey Jersey , you can load them in your dishwasher. Don’t drain your sink just yet.


Using a clean soft cloth, wipe the stove top clean letting any crumbs fall onto the floor. Switch out the cloth from the stove in case there is grease; you don’t want to transfer it to anything else. Clean the appliances on the counters, from top to bottom. Put the drip trays or crumb catchers in your sink of warm soapy water, then rinse and let them dry before putting them back.


Using a cleaner which is recommended for the surface of your countertop, Scrub your counter tops in small circular motions. Now clean the doors of the fridge, dishwasher Cheap Mark Andrews Jersey , and oven. Use a rag or cloth dipped in clean sudsy water. Use diluted white vinegar if the doors are stainless steel. Pay close attention to the handles and edges. Don’t forget the folds of your refrigerator seals.


Clean your lower cabinets with a damp, soapy cloth. Drain the water from the sink and rinse it out with hot water. Clean your sink with a mild abrasive cleanser, rinse with hot water and remember to wipe down the faucet and handles.


Empty the trash, cleaning the inside of the trash can before you replace the bag. Cleaning wipes are good for this. Next you sweep the floor with something similar to a Swiffer Sweeper. Remember to get up close to the baseboards and under the cabinets. Pull out appliances so that you can clean under them. Use a mop bucket and mop, or a steam cleaner and start in one corner of the room and work your way around. Dump your mop water down the toilet or outside. You do not want to use the sink and cause any cross contamination.


Now the your kitchen is clean and you’ve earned a rest!
