Are you feeling it’s a losing battle when trying to keep your kitchen neat and tidy? Many families are using their kitchen space for homework, gathering, crafting, and working from home on laptops. Trying to keep this space clean and clutter free is a real challenge!
Here are 5 easy steps to help you gain control of a cleaner kitchen:
Run your dishwasher at night and empty in the morning
Falling into the trap of dirty dishes in the sink is so easy. Simply devise a schedule to empty and load your dishwasher and stick with it. If you load throughout the day you’ll have less chance of stacking dishes in the sink. Run the dishwasher at night before you go to bed and empty first thing in the morning.
Wipe down surfaces after every meal
If you get in the habit of wiping down the surfaces of your kitchen after every meal then cleaning won’t build up. Simply by cleaning counter tops and your stove surface after every meal makes it easier to do a deep clean later. With COVID still in the picture sterilizing with Clorox or similar product wipes keeps you and your family safe.
Keep things put away
It’s so easy to let your kitchen counter and table to become a catch all. If you used it put it in the dishwasher, if not put it back in a cupboard or drawer, where ever it belongs. The goal is to have a place for everything and keep everything in its place. Following this golden rule will eliminate clutter and a feeling of disorganization.
Organize your cleaning supplies
Save time by going through cleaning supplies (surface cleaner, rags, sponges, whatever you need) and place them together so when you begin to clean your kitchen you know where to find them. Discovering the perfect spot where everyone knows to look is key to cleaning successfully and more often.
Remove the Trash
Don’t make the mistake of cramming the trash can full to avoid taking it out. Avoid unpleasant odors by removing the trash after dinner. You want to avoid menacing bugs so remove the trash daily and can always give that job to a member in the family. This daily habit makes a difference in a cleaner and better smelling kitchen.
