In order to clean your kitchen like a pro, you must begin by emptying out your cupboards and drawers. Next, gather all of the items you will need to complete the task. These include wipe cloths, rags, sponges, dish soap, and a selection of natural cleaners.

If you have any stubborn stains that still need to be tackled, make sure to grab some extra stain remover. Finally, always have some large bins or bags on hand to discard any trash or items that need to be thrown away.

Start With the Upper Cabinets

Start with the upper cabinets. Cleaning kitchen cabinets ensure that larger items, such as cookie trays, large dishes, and other breakables, are secure and out of the way. This prevents any potential for damage.

Starting with the upper cabinets ensures that the dust and other particles generated from cleaning the upper cabinets are not scattered across the floor or lower cabinets as you move down.

Proceed to the Stove

Proceed to the stove, which is a commonly used appliance in the kitchen and can attract an abundance of grease and dirt. Ensure the stove is given a thorough scrub down.

Use an appropriate grease-cutting cleaner to really get into the tough-to-reach areas of the stove, such as around the knobs and between the burners. This will also tackle any latent bacterial buildup.

Move to the Countertops

You can now focus on wiping down the countertop and eliminate any germs and bacteria that may have been lingering. You can also organize any food items or dishes here that you may have left out prior to scrubbing down the stove.

By moving to the countertop after cleaning the stove, you can ensure that your kitchen is completely clean.

Clean the Lower Cabinets and Compartments

Lower cabinets collect food crumbs, dirt, grease, and gunk that can accumulate over time. A good deep clean will help to rid the cabinets of these contaminants.

Cleaning these regularly will help to maintain their lifespan. Don’t forget to clean the lower cabinets and compartments.

Hit the Sink

The sink has a lot of bacteria and germ buildup because of the things you’ve cleaned. Make sure you clean this thoroughly and use a non-abrasive cleaner and a brush to scrub off any remaining dirt, soap, and other residues.

Finish Off With the Floors

Finally, do a thorough sweeping, scrubbing, and mopping of the floors. All the dirt and grime build-up is here, so it’s best to use a good and effective cleaning solution to do a really nice clean-through of the floor.
