Spring Cleaning:Kitchen

I finally got to the kitchen today! Yeah! I'm so glad to have the worst and dirtiest rooms in the house behind me. :-)

I cheated a little and did a few of the kitchen jobs along with dining room and laundry room tasks. such as- cleaning the trash cans at the same time I cleaned the laundry trash cans and laundry baskets and washing the window, blind and curtain at the same time I did the dining room's. It just made more sense that way!

Here's my finished list for the kitchen:

• washed out trash cans
• cleaned woodwork, doors, walls, base boards
• cleaned out cabinets and drawers-not many so this was an easy job!
• cleaned outside of refrigerator, stove and dishwasher
• wiped counters
• cleaned sink
• cleaned above stove
• cleaned stove top, burner coils, burner pans
• cleaned oven
• washed window and blind
• washed curtain
• swept and scrubbed floor
• washed rugs(with bathroom rug for later in week)

This really didn't take me that long; it's a small space and a room that I try to keep up with throughout the year. Sometimes I do better than others.:-) It's amazing how much better these rooms are smelling after being thoroughly cleaned!

Rooms I have scheduled for spring cleaning later this week:

• bathroom
• bedroom
