Grab your dish gloves, friends! Julie & Janis tackle routine kitchen cleaning that keeps your kitchen functional without Pinterest-level perfection. Spoiler: Your sink has more bacteria than your toilet seat.

The JJs 7-Step Kitchen Cleaning Routine

Step 1: Declutter First

  • Flat Surface Sweep with laundry basket
  • Move appliances (yes, even the coffee maker)
  • #Tidy12 Challenge: 12 minutes to clear surfaces

Step 2: Dishes & Sink

  • Do the dishes (faster than you think!)
  • Baking soda for sinks, Barkeeper's Friend for stains
  • Old toothbrush for faucet base
  • Replace smelly sponges

Step 3: Counters & Surfaces

  • Clean UNDER items (crumbs hide everywhere)
  • Wipe light switches, cabinet fronts, drawer pulls

Step 4: Stovetop & Microwave

  • Soak burner grates, wash knobs
  • Microwave Miracle: Water + lemon, 2-3 min = easy clean
  • Don't forget the vent cover

Step 5: Floors & Rugs

  • Daily sweep, spot mop traffic areas
  • Wash kitchen mat weekly

Step 6: Fridge Quick Pass

  • Toss ancient leftovers weekly
  • Wipe spills early, clean handle often

Step 7: Trash & Compost

  • Clean trash can weekly (day before garbage day!)
  • Empty compost daily

Daily Maintenance: 5-Minute Evening Wrap-Up

Wipe counters, rinse sink, sweep floor, put stuff away = peaceful mornings

Get Family Involved

Everyone who uses it, cleans it. Even teenagers can handle full cleanups!
