4 Ways to Clean a Kitchen. Which One Does Your Neighbor Need?

1. Regular, Repeat Kitchen Cleaning

Here are a few of the items we clean when we do a regular kitchen cleaning:

*  We will polish and shine the kitchen counters and scrub the sink and the sink fixtures.

*  We’ll clean the inside and outside of the microwave, then we clean the stove top.

*  Of course the outside of all your kitchen appliances will need cleaning each time.

*  Your floors will be vacuumed or swept and then mopped.

*  Upon request we will empty the trash each time we are there.

2.  Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning includes everything in our regular cleaning, plus the stuff that doesn’t need to be cleaned every visit.

Here are a few cleaning items that could be included in a deep cleaning:

*  We can clean the inside of the oven.

*  We can clean the backsplash.

*  We can clean the inside, outside, and top of the refrigerator.

*  We can clean baseboards.

*  We can clean the stove hood (this can be really greasy).

*  If you need your silverware polished or other silver items polished (real silver) we can do that.

There is a lot more to deep cleaning a kitchen, but this provides an overview.

3.  Spring Kitchen Cleaning: Because Your Pantry Has Secrets

Spring cleaning is very similar to deep cleaning. With spring cleaning the customer usually provides a list of items they want cleaned.

A few of these that might be included:

*  We can clean the kitchen light fixtures.

*  We can empty and clean pantry shelves.

*  We can pull all of the food out of the fridge and freezer. Then we can super-clean the inside of the fridge. We’ll also throw away expired food if asked.

*  We can clean the inside of the dishwasher, including using a dishwasher cleanser.

4.  Move‑Out or Move-In Kitchen Cleaning

When you’re moving, the kitchen can be the hardest room to clean. People are exhausted from packing. Cleaning the kitchen, or any room, for that matter is the last. That’s where we come in.

Move‑out or move-in kitchen cleaning includes but isn’t limited to:

*  Cleaning the inside of the oven.

*  Cleaning the stove top and front of the oven.

*  Cleaning the fridge inside and out, including the top and underneath.

*  Wiping cabinets and drawers inside and out.

*  Cleaning inside and outside of drawers and the drawer fronts.

*  Cleaning cabinet and pantry shelves with an abrasive cleaner appropriate for the surface.

*  Cleaning the microwave inside and out.

*  Wiping back-splashes.

*  Cleaning baseboards if needed.

*  Sweeping and mopping.

If “it” needs it, we’re gonna clean it.

Personal Thoughts About Kitchen Cleaning:

I’ve done so many, many move out cleanings I’ve lost count.

Some thoughts that jump out at me are:

*  The tenant moved out a week before and the electricity was off. I had to go in and clean the fridge to look new even though it was filled with rotting food. Ugg. (FYI: Fridges get to smelling terrible if left closed and turned off).

*  Finding unopened ice cream containers in the freezer of one home. I took one of those ice cream containers home to enjoy.

How do I deep clean my kitchen?

I’m in a kinda hopeless situation and I really do need help. It’s pretty gross so sorry in advance

I fell in a little lock down depression and just didn’t have the energy to deal with any cleaning. Now I haven’t touched my kitchen for an entire year, there are rotten food in the fridge and a LOT of dead or alive fruit flies in there and smells horrible. Basically all my cookware and dishes are dirty and haven’t been touched for an year and the sink is so dirty I’m genuinely afraid that the next pandemic might start in my kitchen.

Now I’m feeling a little better and I really do need to get it cleaned. I just don’t know where to start, and I don’t know what should I be careful about.

I’m really worried about contamination or making myself sick by getting in contact with something, and I’m afraid that there will be stuff leftover un-cleaned and make me sick when I eventually use the kitchen. Should I clean it myself or should I use a cleaning service? Can someone please give me some advice?

Answer: graywoman7 – I would start by throwing away everything you can afford to. Keep nice knives and stainless steel cookware and flatware but anything you can replace just throw away. You’ll be able to make enormous, visible progress very quickly which will help with motivation to get the cleaning done.

Once everything is cleared out start in in the cleaning. One area at a time. You might need to soak rags or paper towels with soapy hot water and leave them on dried messes to soften it up so just do what you can in each area then go back over for the detail work. It’ll take some time, likely a full day. Put on movies or podcasts or music and try to enjoy yourself thinking about your nice new kitchen. Have a reward like a restaurant meal or buying new dishes for when you’re done.
