The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it’s also the space that collects the most dirt. Grease, food splatters, fingerprints, and hidden germs can quickly build up if the area isn’t cleaned properly.
That’s why following a kitchen cleaning checklist and using professional cleaning techniques makes all the difference.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to do a kitchen deep clean step by step, just like a professional cleaning team would.
1. Start with Decluttering
Before you begin cleaning, clear countertops, put away dishes, and remove anything that doesn’t belong in the kitchen. A clutter-free space makes cleaning faster and more effective.
2. Clean Appliances First
Professionals always start with larger surfaces and appliances:
- Microwave: Clean inside and outside using a mixture of warm water and vinegar.
- Stovetop & Oven: Remove grease with a degreaser or a baking soda paste.
- Fridge: Empty shelves, throw away expired food, and wipe down all surfaces.
👉 Pro tip: Do a deep clean of each appliance at least once a month to keep your kitchen fresh and hygienic.
3. Don’t Forget High-Touch Surfaces
Handles, switches, and cabinet doors collect more germs than you think. Don’t skip these spots in your kitchen cleaning checklist.
4. Clean Countertops and Sink Like a Pro
- Countertops: Use the right cleaner for your surface (granite, quartz, marble, or laminate).
- Sink: Scrub with baking soda or a disinfectant, including faucet and drain.
👉 Tip: The sink is one of the dirtiest areas in the kitchen—always finish by sanitizing it properly.
5. Finish with the Floors
The floor should always be the last step. First, sweep or vacuum, then mop with a disinfecting solution. This way, no dirt from above falls onto a freshly cleaned floor.
