Many of us wake up in the morning and grimly look at our kitchen with dismay. By the time you have conquered the pile of dishes in the sink, half of your morning is gone and you have no time or motivation to do anything else such as cook.
Many families have forgotten the days of after school snacks and chit chat in the kitchen or making family memories around the table at dinnertime. Mothers think they do not have time to cook or fuss with the dishes and clutter that seems to collect there. But many would be surprised how a few simple steps can help you make this space a place you and your family will love being. The kitchen should be a space in each family home where precious memories are made.
If your kitchen has not been touched in a while, you may need to start your cleaning up process with a trash bag. Go through the fridge and toss everything that is expired or old. Clear off the countertops and get rid of everything that is trash. You will soon find that the mess has cleared greatly.
Next take one counter at a time and clear it completely off. Using warm soapy water, completely wash the surrounding area and neatly put everything back in its place. Do this repeatedly until each countertop has been completely cleaned. Do the same with your fridge and cabinets. This may take you more than one day, but remember, baby steps will get you to your goal!
The sink is really the most important part. Soak it in a water and bleach solution for at least an hour, drain it, and rinse it well. Then you are ready to scrub it till it shines! If your sink is stainless steel, use a brillo pad to get in each of those little cracks. When you are finished, wipe it dry with a towel and stand back to admire your work. Amazing! Your sink will look like new again!
Once you have gotten your kitchen clean, you need to try to keep up with it on a daily basis. Take those few extra minutes after a meal to wash al the dishes and shine your sink, and empty the dishwasher first thing in the morning. Those few minutes will make a world of difference in how the room looks and how you feel about it. You will find yourself and your family much more inspired to cook and spend time there.
Your kitchen should be a reflection of who you are, just as any other part of your home should be. Use colors that make you love and decorate to suite your taste. Surround yourself with things you love, keep the space clean, and you will love it! - 33383
