Kitchen Cleaning Schedule

What to clean in the kitchen daily, weekly, and monthly — in the right order so you never re-dirty what you just cleaned.

Daily (5 minutes)

  • Wipe counters after cooking.
  • Do or load dishes.
  • Empty the bin if full.
  • Sweep visible crumbs.

Weekly (30 minutes)

  • Mop floor.
  • Clean stovetop properly.
  • Wipe outside of appliances.
  • Throw out old food from fridge.
  • Disinfect sink and taps.

Monthly

  • Deep-clean fridge (shelves out, wipe down).
  • Clean oven.
  • Run a dishwasher cleaning cycle.
  • Wipe inside cupboards.

Use the generator to share these tasks across the people in your household, with rotation so the same person isn't doing the oven every month.

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.

How do I keep my kitchen clean if I cook every day?

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.
