The kitchen is the heart of your home — and one of the hardest rooms to keep truly clean. Grease splatters, food residue, and moisture create the perfect environment for bacteria and odors. Here's how to deep clean your kitchen like a professional.
Appliances: Inside and Out
Refrigerator: Remove all items, toss anything expired, and wipe down every shelf and drawer with a baking soda and warm water solution. Don't forget the rubber gasket around the door — it traps crumbs and mold.
Oven: Remove the racks and soak them in hot soapy water. Apply a paste of baking soda and water to the oven interior, let it sit overnight, then wipe clean. For stubborn spots, a little white vinegar does wonders.
Microwave: Heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3 minutes. The steam loosens caked-on food, making it easy to wipe away.
Dishwasher: Yes, your dishwasher needs cleaning too. Run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar on the top rack, then sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and run a short hot cycle.
Countertops and Backsplash
Wipe down all countertops with a cleaner appropriate for your surface material. For tile backsplashes, scrub grout lines with a baking soda paste and an old toothbrush. Seal natural stone counters annually to prevent staining.
Cabinets and Drawers
Remove everything from your cabinets, wipe down the interiors, and reorganize as you put items back. Clean cabinet fronts with a degreaser — kitchen grease film builds up on surfaces you'd never expect.
Sink and Faucet
Scrub your sink with baking soda, then sanitize with white vinegar. Polish the faucet with a microfiber cloth. Don't forget to clean the garbage disposal — drop in ice cubes and citrus peels, then run it with cold water.
Floors
Move the trash can, step stool, and any rugs. Sweep or vacuum first, then mop with a floor-appropriate cleaner. Pay special attention to the areas under the refrigerator and stove where crumbs accumulate.
