Ahh, the kitchen. The work horse of the house. Always filled with people and dirty dishes. But it doesn't have to be! Here are 8 easy steps I put together to get your kitchen clean and sparkly. This is all-natural cleaning too. No chemicals, no worry about un-safe substances around your family. PLUS there's a free checklist you can get in the post too.
First, gather your supplies. You'll need:


DIY natural cleaner


Lemons


Vinegar


Mason jar


Spray bottle


Sponges


Rags


Broom


Steam Mop
To make a natural cleaner: Cut the rind off the fruit and put it into a mason jar. You can use however much you want, but a cup is a good amount to use. Cover the rinds with 2 cups of white distilled vinegar and let this sit, covered in a dark, cool place for a month. Shake up the bottle every week to mix it. At the end of the month, strain out the rinds and transfer the liquid to a spray bottle.
1. Wash and Put Away Dishes


2. Clean Up Clutter


3. Clean the Oven


4. Clean the Refrigerator


5. Steam the Microwave


6. Sanitize the Dishwasher


7. Wipe Countertops and Sink


8. Sweep and Wash the Floor


That's it! For more detailed tips and instructions on each step, see the full post on my blog and happy cleaning!

    I am glad that I came across this information because I know how to keep my kitchen floors looking nicer for longer.Sweep or vacuum the floor daily. This removes loose dirt, food crumbs and other pieces of debris that can accumulate on tile floors. Dirt that is allowed to sit in wet areas can quickly turn into hard-to-remove grime.You should also sweep or vacuum the floor before mopping or cleaning it.Run a dry cloth duster or dust mop over the floors after they have been swept.
