The kitchen works harder than any other room, which is why it gets messy fastest. Our cleaners use the same five-step routine at home, and it takes about fifteen minutes.
The five steps
- Load or run the dishwasher and hand-wash anything left in the sink.
- Wipe counters and the stovetop while spills are still fresh.
- Clear the table and put away anything that does not live on the counter.
- Give the sink and faucet a quick scrub and dry with a microfiber cloth.
- Sweep the floor and take out the trash if it is more than half full.
Do this every night and your weekly clean becomes maintenance rather than a rescue mission.
