How To Cleanup Your Kitchen In 15 Minutes: Your Guide to Housekeeping In-Between Maid Services.

- Kitchen

A day can be completely eaten up cleaning the kitchen. After breakfast, lunch, and dinner, your kitchen can look like a disaster area in need of federal attention. After a long day, few of us want to spend time scrubbing a room that is just going to need it again in 8 hours. Yet we all know that if we leave our dishes and countertops until the morning, we'll need an ice pick to scrape off the dried-on food. Use this method to keep your kitchen running smoothly without making you feel rundown.

Here's How:
Grab all of your needed supplies.
Don't underestimate the value of this step. Trying to find cleansers, dishcloths, sponges, etc. not only eats up time, but increases the risks of distractions that cause you to forget what you were working on in the first place.

Run a sink of hot, soapy water.
If you have a double sink with a garbage disposal on one side, make sure to use the disposal-free side. Keeping the disposal side free will allow you to scrape leftovers down the drain quickly while you work.

Scrape off all the dishes into the trash or garbage disposal.
If step 2 has blocked your disposal, scrape the dishes off onto a dirty plate.

Place dishes that need to soak into the water.
Try to choose the dishes that are going to give you or your dishwasher the most trouble to get clean. Put the heavily soiled dishes on the bottom. Large dishes like pans and bowls can be filled with hot soapy water and set on the counter to soak.
