Alright, lets clean this Kitchen...

Eventhough I am an at home mom, I do not spend my entire days

cleaning the house. It is definately not one of those things

I enjoy so much I want to do ALL the time!!

So I have come up with a few ideas to help me get through it.

The 2 rooms of the house that have to be clean at all times

is, the bathroom and the kitchen. Since this is a page

about the kitchen guess which room we're going to clean today.

You guessed it... The Kitchen!!!

Well, the kitchen, for me, has to be

clean ALL the time or I Freak! So, eventhough I

do clean it daily and I always disenfect, some

things seem to make the daily(usually 2x's) task

a bit easier and quicker.

OK...

For daily cleaning,

I dampen a clean dish rag with HOT water,

squeeze as much of the water out as I can, then

I spray my stuff (2 parts white vinegar and 1 part water)

on the rag and wipe every inch of the counter. I do not take

everything off of the counter, I simply lift, tilt, scoot or slide

it out of the way, and put it right back. I wipe everthing

off onto the floor. Then I sweep all the food, or whatevers

on the floor, to the carpet and pick it up with the

vaccuum(I do this in the bathroom too).

I use baby wipes to clean any grease or splattered food

from the walls and fridge(it sits next to the stove). Did

you know that wipies can clean just about anything? Try them they

work very well on lots of things(they do streak glass

surfaces). One quick thing about them...

they are AWESOME at cleaning bird poo!! Even off your car.

Ok, back to the kitchen,

Once, I have swept the floor, I take off shoes and/or socks

and preform the toesy test. I walk the floor and feel for

sticky, greasy or just dirty spots, I soak up anything standing

and then I get my box of wipes and wipe it clean.

I also use wipies to wipe down my cabinets. I spray the baseboards

and any open ares, like the small space between the stove and fridge

with Lysol.

Now, my kitchen looks fine, It is clean and I am NOT a freak!!

This usually only takes about 10 - 15 mins. That is, without the kiddos

hanging on me, or the phone ringing.

(SHHHHH!!! I know this is not a bathroom page or whatever, but,

for daily quick throughs I use the same basic process for the bathroom)
