One thing that we might not do as often as we should is deep clean and sanitize our kitchen. We often rush to put away groceries without taking the time to throw away the items that aren't good anymore. Sometimes the hardest part about conquering the kitchen chaos is not knowing where to begin. If you are in the midst of spring cleaning your lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks and need some tips on how to deep clean your kitchen, Mission Bay is here to help.
Start With Your Pantry
Take out all of the food that is in the pantry and place it all on your table or countertop. Check the labels and toss the items that are expired, stale, inedible, etc. If there are any items that you know your family won't eat, set them aside for donation. Wipe down the shelves with soapy water or kitchen cleaner. When putting the items back into the cabinet, create a separate area for the open items, arrange like items together and put the oldest items in the front and the newest in the back.
Clean Out Your Refrigerator
After you conquer the pantry, you can then move on to the fridge. Empty the refrigerator and freezer and place the items on the table or countertop. Toss any items that are expired, moldy, inedible, etc. Wipe down the shelves with soapy water or kitchen cleaner. Remove the produce drawers and wash them well. Put the food back and arrange like items together. Remove any excess magnets and unneeded papers and clean and polish the exterior.
Organize Your Cupboards
Remove all items from the storage cupboards or shelves and place them on your countertop or table. As you're removing items, toss or donate any items that are broken, unwanted, unnecessary or that you haven't used in over a year. Set aside any seasonal items that only get used once or twice a year to be placed with other seasonal items in storage. Wipe down all shelves with soapy water or kitchen cleaner. Determine whether you can rearrange any of your storage areas to make your kitchen more efficient. When placing items back into the cupboards, group like items together.
Organize Your Kitchen Drawers
Remove all the items from the drawers and place them on the counter or table. Just like with the cupboards, as you remove the items, toss or donate any items that are broken, unwanted, unnecessary or that you haven't used in over a year. Set aside any seasonal items that only get used once a year to be placed with other seasonal items in storage. Wipe down all drawers with soapy water or kitchen cleaner and wash any drawer organizers. Determine whether you can rearrange any of the storage drawers to make your kitchen more efficient. Group like items together when placing items back into the drawers.
Clean The Appliances
Wipe down the microwave inside and out. For the dishwasher, clean and polish the exterior. Don't forget, however, that the item that cleans the dishes also needs to be cleaned, so wipe down the inside of the dishwasher as well. Follow manufacturer's instruction for running the self-cleaning cycle on the oven, as well as, clean and polish the exterior. Clean and polish the stovetop, and wipe down small countertop appliances such as the toaster and blender.
