Quick Kitchen Clean's featured image

Whether it's really hot outside (and sticky indoors to clean) or you want to finish your cleaning to get out and enjoy the sunshine, here is an approximately 12-minute cleaning guide for the kitchen. The house cleaners at MOLLY MAID would be happy to help some more!

De-clutter. Spend a minute or two removing clutter from countertops including dirty dishes. Fill the dishwasher, put items back in the cabinets, stash loose papers and mail in a drawer (or the recycle bin), and clear counters.

Dishes. Now that you've loaded the dishwasher with the dirty dishes from the counter, you can start the wash cycle.

Pre-treat. If you find hard-to-remove spots on the stove or countertop, soak with soapy water, then come back to it after a few minutes.  

Counters. Wet a microfibre cloth with all-purpose spray and wipe countertops back-to-front, brushing crumbs onto the floor (since you'll mop in a few minutes).

Appliances. Swipe the fridge, dishwasher and stove with a damp cloth, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth to avoid streaks.

Floor. Starting in a far corner of the kitchen, sweep your way out. Then give the floor a fast once-over with a water-dampened microfibre mop, again working your way out.
