Monday’s challenge: Deep clean the kitchen

Published by Sarah Bray on April 7, 2008 in Cleaning and Organization. 0 Comments

My dad called a few days ago (must call him back!) and left a message that he, my mom, and my brother are coming to visit this weekend. Now I know they could care less what my house looks like, but this gives me a good opportunity to straighten up before they get here. I like a clean house too, you know.

So today I’m going to start in the kitchen. Here are my lofty goals:

  • Catch up on dishes from the weekend
  • Put stuff that has piled up on countertops back where it belongs
  • Wipe down countertops and actually get under and in between appliances, etc.
  • Clean the outside of the stove really well
  • Clean out the fridge
  • Clean out the pantry
  • Sweep and mop floors
  • Scrub grout on the floors1
  • Take some pledge to the table and chairs so that it smells really good and clean
  • Straighten office area

Whew! If I can get all of that stuff done, I will be SO proud!
