So I set out to tell you all how to get a clean house in 7 days. Silly me, I forgot that I have crazy OCD when it comes to cleaning the kitchen or the bathroom...and decided to do the kitchen first. So what I did instead was come up with a 7 day schedule, spending 30-45 minutes each day cleaning, to get my kitchen spotless. I have to say, I'm very happy with the results! I might just do this for the rest of the house. Then maybe I can do a 7 days to a clean house...or for keeping a clean house :)
My kitchen was pretty neglected when I started. I had just spent a day preparing 20 days worth of meals so all my dishes were dirty...definitely in need of some serious cleaning!
Day 1: Do all the dishes, clean out sink and drains, clean all hard surfaces, sweep and mop floor. (I mop at least once a day, with baby girl around the floors are always a concern.)
Day 2: Clean stove burners and grates- I used this no scrub method found here, and I highly recommend it!!
Day 3: Clean cabinet doors, drawers, and walls
Day 4: Clean out microwave- I used this super easy method here. I used to hate cleaning my microwave until I found this! And clean out/organize cabinets.
Day 5: Clean out fridge. I mean, clean clean. Lol. I threw out old food, and completely scrubbed it out. I don't do this often enough :)
Day 6: Scrub baseboards. And clean out/organize drawers.
Day 7: Relax, and look how clean your kitchen is!!
**I also cleaned all hard surfaces, swept and mopped everyday. It only takes about 5 or 10 minutes. And once I was caught up on the dishes it was pretty easy to keep the clean ones put away and the dirty ones in the dishwasher. I love preparing freezer meals, the only dishes I really have anymore are plates and cups from meals.**
