Being a Maid of Honor or bridesmaid is pretty costly, since you have to buy a dress and often shoes and jewelry, too. Some generous brides will offer to foot the cost, but that’s pretty rare.

Cleaning Kitchen Checklist

The kitchen is a special place for every woman. It is also probably the one room that requires a lot of cleaning to keep it comfortable and fresh. We have prepared for you some ideas how to get organised and follow the cleaning activities to help you keep your kitchen clean and healthy place.

What You Need to Do to Clean the Kitchen

The cleaning in the kitchen could be separated by the different surfaces and areas that need to be treated. You may clean the different categories each day.

Large appliances

This is probably the hardest part of the kitchen cleaning – to get the cooktop, oven, vent hood and the refrigerator cleaned. For every appliance you need a special cleaning product. The problem is that you keep and cook your food in those appliances and we would recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, as they are rarely completely cleaned. Check for some homemade cleaning solutions that could clean the oil from the cooktop and the oven. The refrigerator could be cleaned with water and vinegar mixture. For the vent hood you may use commercial cleaner as it is not in direct contact with the food.

Surfaces

There are many different surfaces around the kitchen and different materials. You need to use appropriate cleaning product for every surface to avoid damaging it. Make sure you clean the countertops and backsplashes, cabinets, faucets and sinks, cutting boards, dishwasher and floors.

Small appliances

The small appliances also need eco cleaning as you are using them daily to prepare your food. Find appropriate green cleaning products for the toaster, knives, microwave, coffeemaker, kettle, coffee and spice grinder, stand mixer, wooden utensils and garbage can.

Windows

The windows in the kitchen will need to get cleaned more often that the windows in the other rooms because of the temperature condense. After cleaning the windows make sure you clean the draperies also. See below how to take care of the fabrics in the kitchen.

Fabrics

You will have different types of fabrics in your kitchen – draperies, furniture upholstery, and carpets. The fabrics may get harsh stains from food and beverages. You need to use appropriate cleaning products to remove the stains and keep the fabrics clean and fresh. We would also recommend using professional cleaning services for the household fabrics at least twice a year.

This will ensure your carpets, upholstered furniture and draperies are perfectly clean and all the unpleasant kitchen stains are removed.
