Nothing says "good morning!" like a clean and sparkling kitchen. Achieving cleanliness in the face of an endless parade of hungry family members is another matter.
Spray Surfaces
Empty the garbage can, and replace any can liners. Pre-spray
all counters and the stove top before you begin to clean using a degreaser or a
multisurface spray cleaner. Move around the room and spritz flat surfaces
lightly.

Wipe Down All
Surfaces
Wipe down walls and backsplashes, cabinet faces and the
fronts of kitchen appliances with a cleaner-dampened cleaning cloth. Use an
extra spritz of multisurface cleaner to remove fingermarks, smears and stains.
Clean Sink
Scrub the interior of the sink with a powdered cleanser or a
spray degreaser. Use a toothbrush to rout out dirt around sink rims and drains.
Rinse, then use degreaser to clean fixtures and the sink apron. Wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
Scrub Counters and
Wipe Clean
Back to the counters, this time to wipe them clean and dry.
Use a scraper to remove dried-on foods, and a small tile brush to loosen soil
where the backsplash meets the countertops.
Scrub Stove Top
Return to the stove top, and use the toothbrush to remove
softened food from around the burners, knobs and dials. Tackle stubborn blobs
with a scraper. Wipe dry with a fresh cleaning cloth.
Sweep Floors
Sweep or vacuum the floor, and then damp-mop. Pay extra
attention to the areas beneath the sink (water spots) and stove (grease). Shake
and replace any mats or rugs. Put away tools, cleaners and apron.
