Cleaning your home can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into simple, affordable tasks makes the job much more manageable. No more stressing over dust bunnies or messy countertops—here’s how to tackle your kitchen and other key areas with ease.
**Let’s make your kitchen spotless!**
Start by checking the manuals of your appliances for specific cleaning instructions. For stainless steel surfaces, always use a soft cloth or sponge—avoid anything rough that might scratch the finish. Also, steer clear of general-purpose cleaners, as they can leave behind a film.
**Fridge & Freezer**
- Turn off the temperature controls to save energy.
- Remove all food and store it in a cooler or cold place.
- Throw out any questionable leftovers or expired items.
- Take out bins, drawers, and shelves, and wash them with hot, soapy water.
- Wipe the inside with a damp cloth and dish soap.
- If there's ice buildup, let it melt naturally instead of prying it away with sharp objects—it could damage the freezer walls.
**Cleaning Tip:** For tough stains, try scrubbing with a damp cloth sprinkled with baking soda. Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue.
**Dishwasher**
- Check if your dishwasher has a filter. If so, soak and clean it with hot, soapy water.
- Use a toothpick to clear the holes in the spinning arm.
- Clean the gasket (the rubber seal) with a soft toothbrush and hot, soapy water.
- Run an empty cycle on the hottest setting with a bowl of white vinegar on the top rack. The vinegar will spray and clean the interior effectively.
- If you have a non-stainless steel dishwasher with mildew, use bleach carefully. Avoid using it on stainless steel, as it may cause damage.
**Oven**
- If your oven is self-cleaning, remove the racks and follow the manual’s instructions. After the cycle, wipe the inside with a damp cloth.
- For non-self-cleaning ovens, use an oven cleaner, and protect the floor with newspaper.
- Clean the racks with a scouring pad, hot soapy water, and a degreaser. Dry them to prevent rust.
- For the oven door, use a cloth soaked in boiling water and lay it over the open door. Let it sit, then scrub with hot, soapy water and white vinegar.
**Cleaning Tip:** Never line your oven with foil—it can stick permanently. Instead, use a baking sheet to catch spills. If something spills, sprinkle salt immediately to make cleanup easier later.
Don’t forget to clean the back and sides of your appliances every few months. Pull them out, wipe the area, and check for leaks.
**Don’t Miss These Easy-to-Forgot Areas**
**Walls**
- First, determine if the surface is washable. Wallpaper or paneling may need special care.
- Dust the walls first with a dry microfiber cloth or duster.
- Protect surrounding surfaces with towels or blankets.
- Use two buckets: one with cleaning solution and water, the other for rinsing.
- Start from the bottom and work upward with a lint-free cloth, frequently rinsing and re-soaking.
- Use a long-handled broom or step ladder for high areas.
**Windows**
- Remove the window screens and clean them one by one.
- Use two buckets—one with soapy water, the other with water and a bit of vinegar.
- Wash the glass with a cloth, changing the water when it gets dirty.
- Rinse with the vinegar water and a clean cloth.
- Use a squeegee or microfiber cloth to dry the glass.
- Scrub the window tracks with a toothbrush and soapy water.
**No Matter the Room, Make It Manageable**
- Break the task into small parts. Tackle one room each day.
- Ask for help—assign chores to others who can assist.
- Declutter as you go. If you haven’t used something in a while, consider donating it.
Keep your space fresh by tidying up regularly and getting rid of unused items. It feels great!
