Deep Cleaning Your Kitchen: Tips and Tricks

There’s no better feeling than a seasonal deep clean of your home. One of the most important rooms in your home to deep clean is your kitchen. From prepping, cooking, and serving meals to socializing and gathering, the kitchen is one of the most-used rooms in your house. Besides the fact that a sanitary kitchen is an essential aspect of food safety, it’s also the space that collects the most dirt, grease, and grime. While regular wipe-downs are necessary, you should leave the deep cleaning to professionals. 

Declutter to minimize dirt-collecting surfaces

Getting rid of or better organizing your cutlery, pots/pans, and pantry spaces is a great way to kick off your deep-cleaning season. Start by purging items you no longer need, use, or love. Once you’re left with the keepers, consider adding organization systems to help you maintain a cleaner kitchen throughout the year. Adding under-the-sink gliders, cookware storage solutions, and built-in spice organizers will help you keep a more hygienic kitchen. The pros at ShelfGenie can offer storage solutions that will help you keep things cleaner. 

Scour and sanitize your refrigerator

Let’s face it, the refrigerator gets almost as much traffic as your kitchen floors. From grabbing beverages to snacks and fresh veggies to last night’s leftovers, the refrigerator sustains you. With all that traffic, though, it accrues a lot of food debris, spills, and bacteria. So, beginning your deep clean with the refrigerator is a great starting point. Hiring cleaners to remove shelves and drawers, wipe out debris and spills, sanitize, and reorganize is the way to go. Reach out to Cleveland’s The Maids for a quote today.

Scrub your stovetop, oven, and hood

It’s recommended that your stovetop, oven, and hood, the head honcho of your cooking appliances, be deep cleaned every three months. Beyond setting your stove to its “clean” setting, that smelly setting that leaves your house wreaking for days, the oven must be hand-scrubbed for best results. Hire cleaners such as The Maids and leave the elbow grease to them. Besides other deep-cleaning services, they can help you turn the inside and outside of your stovetop and oven into the immaculate appliance it once was. 

Make windows and light fixtures sparkle

Windows, window treatments, and light fixtures are some of the worst culprits for collecting grease and grime in the kitchen. They’re also the most tedious places to clean. Working with professionals such as Assured Window Cleaning will efficiently and expeditiously restore these surfaces to their original sparkle in no time. Professional cleaning with these reputable home pros will remove nasty contaminants that could spoil mealtimes and gatherings.
