Days 15-16: Spring into a Clean Kitchen – A Fresh Start for the Heart of Your Home!
Welcome to Days 15 and 16 of Spring into Clean with Staged for Living!
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and today, we’re giving it the deep clean and refresh it deserves. Ready to tackle the dust, wipe down surfaces, and create a kitchen that feels as fresh as your favorite spring recipe? Let’s dive into a two-day (it’s a doozy!) spring clean in your kitchen and make it a spotless, welcoming space for all your culinary creations!
Handy Tools:
Dish soap
Sink cleaner
Scrub brush
Oven cleaner
Simple Steps:
Straighten up the area, moving misplaced items to their designated spaces. Keep only what is useful or beautiful in the kitchen.
Follow the order in the laminated Worksheet 2: Step-by-Step Spring Clean Blueprint
Mark off tasks (with a dry-erase marker) that do not apply to this room.
Mark off each task as you finish it.
Clean the exhaust fan cover. Yuck!
Vacuum above the cabinets if they don’t go to the ceiling.
Clean pantry shelves starting at the top. Straighten as you go.
Clean the shelves in the cabinets. Line them with shelf liner if desired.
Clean the outside of the cabinets.
Clean backsplash.
Clean the top, inside, and outside of your refrigerator and freezer. Throw away expired food.
Empty the recycle bin and wash it.
Clean the stove and oven.
Run a phantom load in the dishwasher to clean it. Clean filter.
Scrub sink and counters.
Put out fresh towels.
Throw dirties in the hamper.
Put related items together so you can find things easily.
When you finish cleaning the kitchen, erase all marks with a dry paper towel to get ready for the next space.
Staged for Living Pro Tips:
Split this clean into at least two days - It’s a lot.
Consider using linen napkins – And wash them. This cuts down on paper use.
Consider moving paper towels under the sink – Use dish cloths instead. This also cuts down on paper use and expense.
Wipe down counters, run dishes, sweep, and reset kitchen daily – This is my favorite daily routine because it makes such a difference in how the house runs and looks!
Put used sponges in dishwasher – I don’t love sponges because of the germs they carry, but if your use them, refresh them in the dishwasher with each load.
Remember to run your exhaust fan while cooking - Your house will thank you.
By the end of these two (or so) days, your kitchen will be sparkling clean and organized, making it a more inviting and efficient space for cooking and gathering. With everything in its place and surfaces gleaming, you’ll be ready to enjoy a fresh, functional kitchen for the season ahead!
Impressive job, friends! See you soon for the dining room spring clean!
