FAQ
How often should I clean my kitchen?
Wipe counters and do dishes daily. Mop and clean the stove weekly. Deep-clean the fridge and oven monthly.
What order should I clean a kitchen in?
Clear surfaces, then top to bottom: cupboards/shelves first, then counters and stove, then sink, then floor last.

Clean as you cook. Wash prep dishes while things are simmering. Wipe the counter as soon as you serve. The kitchen never gets bad if it never gets a chance.
