📍 Introduction

Kitchen cleaning, approached with the right attitude, can be downright fun. Yes, truly! With a little know-how & a strategic approach, your sinks & countertops can be sparkling quickly, efficiently, and relatively painlessly. 

Here are some reasons we enjoy cleaning the kitchen: 

* 😎 It’s more pleasant to work in a clean & tidy workspace

* 💪 Cleaning gets the body moving & blood flowing 

* 🦠 Removes gunk, shmutz, food leftovers, bacteria, etc.

* 🧘 Can feel cathartic & help the mind decompress 

* 🎧 Gives an excuse to listen to an audiobook or podcast 

* ⭐️ Leads to a feeling of accomplishment 

 📝 Notes, Tips, Tricks: 

* The kitchen is both a warehouse & battlefield - and thus requires operational tactics unique to its needs

* As a warehouse, it requires a system of organization. Items should ideally be grouped by type & stored near their place of use. 

* As a battlefield, having a plan of attack is critical. Disorganization leads to repetition and wasted time. 

* Kitchen cleaning is never really “done,” which makes it an excellent metaphor for life. Do your best, get it to an acceptable level of sanitation, & move on! 😎  

* Many cleaning products are toxic. Save harsh chemicals for serious messes & stains & check labels for details if you are in doubt. 

* A clean kitchen (and home) is scentless. The only smells should be food cooking or fresh flowers. 

* If you smell chemicals (e.g., bleach), air out the room. 

* Listen to your intuition. Let smell, sight & feel be your guide. If a surface feels grimy or smells stinky, it probably needs some TLC

* Keep the kitchen as sparse & organized as possible. If you know where items are, rummaging should take < 10 seconds. 

* Store most frequently used items in the most accessible places (e.g., eye level)
