There is only me here now so I clean as I go but do a top to bottom clean every 3 months.

I regularly clean the sink and oven after use, I do need to vacuum and mop more often, one a week does not cut it. :-/

Great tips… sometimes I do just finish the dishes and all I want to do is sit down but agree that a few extra minutes each time can save hours later. Thanks for the reminder!

I know most of this is just common sense but why didn’t I think of this. Thanks for the tips

Thank you for the tips/informative article.

It’s a habit to clean up kitchen as you go in our household, everyone knows how important it is to keep it nice and clean – very basic to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I go along with all you say and the first 3 are very easy for me to do. The wash/vac floor is a huge problem for me as I have slate tiles with a finger tip deep groove around each one – still haven’t found a reliable machine to suck up the water and dirt in the grooves. And these days I am beyond getting down on to my hands and knees to wipe it up with a towel.

Wow I wish I could get away with vacuuming an mopping every three days in this house

I already do all that. I like having a kitchen neat and organized. I want my bench top to be clutter-free too.

I like the first few ideas – but vacuum and mop every 3rd day??? Not in my house!

I do these now thanks to this article. Cleaning is so much easier!

For a start, I would not hang pots etc to collect grease, oil splatters, +dust if you don’t rinse them before using them..

The floor is cleaned twice a day maybe more, as for the rest the kitchen is kept clean as it is one of the rooms that effect our health.

Four common sense cleaning tips here. When I want in depth cleaning done, hubby does it, he has a better eye for detail then me

I don’t understand point 2- I don’t usually put these things in the dishwasher? Totally agree on cleaning the floor although it coukd be done 3 timesa day in my house and to the untrained eye would still look like it was done a fortnight ago

Thanks for sharing! Great read and interesting!

Cleaning tips……always come in handy

Works really well…

so true…else u spend 1 hour cleaning it on a special basis

I keep a long handled brush & dustpan hanging on the side of the fridge. If you use this every night to clean up droped food & crumbs, it takes half the time to mop the floor.
