How to Clean your Kitchen in 20 Minutes a Day for 30 Days
Twenty minutes a day isn't much time. It is, however, enough of a window during your day to tackle your kitchen from top to bottom. We're not talking about simple wiping down of surfaces — we're talking all-out dusting, de-greasing, baseboard-wiping, oven-cleaning goodness. In just 20 minutes a day? Want to see how it's done?
1. Adjust to your own schedule.
This method works wonders for a two-person household with a large amount of dishes and wear and tear in the kitchen. If you have eight kids, there's a good chance this number might need to go up a little (but then again, you have eight kids, so put them to work!).
Likewise, if you don't have 20 minutes all together, break up the tasks so you can do things in parts. Maybe add 10 minutes to your morning routine and 10 minutes after dinner.
2. Take care of the dishes, floor, and surfaces.
The list below assumes that you'll be taking care of dishes, sweeping, and giving things a quick wipe-down every day anyway. These basic chores being done each and every day are essential to the plan (and your sanity) below. P.S.: Give yourself a break when necessary; no one will know if you don't sweep your floor every single day.
3. Set a timer.
Everyone gets distracted easily. When you're at home there are doorbells ringing, text messages flying, kids calling your name, work emails winging in. It's no wonder we often feel buried under chores! Sometimes we just don't get to them. Set a timer for five minutes. When it goes off, set it again. If you get derailed during that time, the ding! will help bring you back and refocus.
