The Ultimate Guide To A Clean Kitchen

The revolving door around here has to be the Kitchen!  I spend most of my time there, especially in the winter.  And now Nick is building me a new one.

No, I don’t mean he’s remodeling the one we have (sad face).  He’s building me a canning kitchen in the basement!  Yay!!

When we bought our home, it already had a canning stove in the basement and a canning closet.  But they hadn’t seen any attention in a LONG time.

My parents replaced their counters and sink, so they offered them to us.  And so started a new project!

I am ecstatic to have this space and can’t wait for the finished product.  But this now means, I have two kitchens to keep clean!  Thinking about that gave me a bit of a panicky feeling in my gut.

One kitchen can be enough to drive someone crazy!  Sometimes I feel like within minutes of getting it sparkling, it looks like the end of a rush in a restaurant kitchen!

So I decided I needed a plan!  A “keep it clean plan!”

I sat down and compiled the Ultimate Kitchen Cleaning Checklist!  I asked readers, family and even the daycare kids for their thoughts on how to keep up with cleaning the kitchen(s).

The end product was a daily, weekly, and monthly to-do list just for the kitchen.  I follow my daily list, and add one to two items from each weekly and monthly lists to my daily to-dos.

Now I have absolutely no excuse to let these tasks slide!

I have laminated my checklist (bonus! I love my laminator) and it hangs on the fridge.  Everyday I complete all of the daily tasks and one or two of the weekly and monthly tasks.

I’ve also left a few spaces blank in case I think of something I missed, in the future.
