We are already making our way through March, and spring is that much closer. It’s the perfect time to refresh your kitchen. Over time, grease, dust, and clutter accumulate, making your beloved kitchen feel less inviting. It’s time to enact those dreaded words: spring cleaning. But we at KWCW know that a thorough spring cleaning not only improves hygiene but also helps you stay organized and enjoy a more efficient kitchen for months to come. In this article, we will offer some tips on how to make your kitchen sparkle again!
Before you start scrubbing, go through all your cabinets and drawers to remove expired food, unused gadgets, and mismatched containers.
KWCW Tip: Use shelf liners to keep cabinets clean and prevent spills from staining the surfaces.
Your fridge works hard year-round, so giving it a deep clean will help it run efficiently and keep food fresh.
KWCW Tip: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odors.
Cooking splatters and grease buildup can make your oven and stovetop look grimy.
KWCW Tip: A mix of vinegar and baking soda works wonders for removing stubborn grease stains.
Your kitchen sink is one of the dirtiest places in your home, so it’s important to give it a thorough scrub.
KWCW Tip: Pour a cup of vinegar and baking soda down the drain once a month to prevent clogs.
Small appliances collect dust, grease, and food crumbs over time.
KWCW Tip: Use a toothbrush to clean crevices and buttons on small appliances.
Your countertops and backsplash endure daily spills and splatters, so disinfecting them is a must.
KWCW Tip: A mixture of vinegar and water is a natural disinfectant for most surfaces.
Your kitchen floor collects crumbs, spills, and dirt daily, so a deep clean will make a big difference.
Pro Tip: Use a steam mop for a deep clean without harsh chemicals.
Almost every kitchen has a junk drawer filled with random items. Now’s the time to sort it out!
KWCW Tip: Keep a small container in the drawer for loose change and small odds and ends.
We love giving kitchens a fresh start through renovation, but you can do that on a smaller scale with spring cleaning. A clean kitchen not only looks great but also creates a healthier and more efficient space for cooking and gathering. By tackling these spring cleaning tasks, you’ll enjoy a refreshed and organized kitchen that feels brand new.
