​The kitchen is the heart of the home—but it’s also one of the fastest places to collect grime, grease, and germs. Whether you cook every day or just warm up leftovers, a clean kitchen makes your whole home feel fresher, safer, and more inviting.
​
At Juanita’s House Cleaning, we’ve cleaned hundreds of kitchens across Los Angeles County, Irvine, and San Diego, and we’re here to share our go-to step-by-step method to get your kitchen sparkling clean!

​🧼 Step 1: Clear & Declutter

​Start by removing anything that doesn’t belong on your countertops:
  • Dishes
  • Appliances you don’t use daily
  • Trash and recycling
  • Mail or clutter
Tip: Put on your favorite playlist to make this part more fun!

​✨ Step 2: Tackle the Dishes

​Wash and dry dishes or load them into the dishwasher. If anything has baked-on food, let it soak while you clean the rest of the kitchen.

​🧊 Step 3: Clean Out the Fridge

​Throw away expired or spoiled items. Wipe down fridge shelves with warm, soapy water or a mix of water and vinegar. Don't forget the handles—they’re germ hotspots!

​🧽 Step 4: Wipe Down Surfaces

​Spray and wipe:
  • Countertops
  • Cabinet doors
  • Backsplash
  • Appliance exteriors (microwave, coffee maker, toaster, etc.)
Use a gentle all-purpose cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water. For grease buildup, a dab of dish soap helps cut through the film.

​🔥 Step 5: Clean the Stove

​Remove burner grates or drip pans and soak them in hot soapy water. Wipe the stovetop with a degreaser or baking soda paste for tough spots.

​🍽️ Step 6: Microwave Refresh

​Microwave a bowl of water with lemon slices for 3 minutes. The steam loosens buildup—just wipe the interior clean with a cloth afterward.

​🧹 Step 7: Sink & Faucet Shine

​Scrub your sink with baking soda and a few drops of dish soap. Rinse, then polish it with a microfiber cloth for that extra shine. Don’t forget to wipe down the faucet and handles.

​🧺 Step 8: Take Out the Trash

​Empty the trash can and disinfect the inside and lid with an antibacterial wipe or spray. Add a dryer sheet at the bottom to help absorb future odors.

​🧼 Step 9: Sweep & Mop the Floor

​Sweep or vacuum your kitchen floor to pick up crumbs and dust. Then mop using a floor-safe cleaner, paying extra attention to corners and under the cabinets.

​✅ Step 10: Final Touches

  • ​Replace kitchen towels with clean ones
  • Light a fresh-smelling candle or turn on an essential oil diffuser
  • Step back and admire your sparkling clean kitchen!
