Transcript:How to Do a 15-Minute Kitchen Cleanup

Hi, I'm Indira with Cinderella's Cleaning Services in Houston, Texas, and today I'm going to give you some tips on how to clean your kitchen in 15 minutes.

Gather Supplies to Do a 15-Minute Kitchen Cleanup

First, you're going to need to gather some supplies. You're going to need some dishwashing soap, an all-purpose cleaner like a 409 or Windex, you're going to need a sponge with a rough or semi-rough surface.

There's a lot of options for you out there, and we're going to need a microfiber towel to help in the cleaning of the counter. Some people prefer to use a broom; we use vacuums for all our floor surfaces, including kitchens.

Soak Dirty Dishes for a 15-Minute Kitchen Cleanup

We're going to prepare the hot soapy water, so that we can we soak our dirty dishes in; start laying your dirty dishes inside. Meanwhile the water runs and the dish is soaked, I'm going to take advantage of it and put away some of the stuff left on the counter.

Now that the dishes are soaked we can wither put them in the dishwasher for a quicker clean or you can hand wash them, just make sure that the dishes don't have anything, stuff stuck on them. Now we're going to finish clearing up the counter.

Clean Counters and Floors to Finish the 15-Minute Kitchen Cleanup

So now that we've cleared the counters, we're going to give it a quick clean and this is not going to be a detailed clean, because we're trying to get it done in 15 minutes.

Now we're prepared to vacuum. You can also choose to use a broom, but I feel that the vacuum helps pick up more of the dust that is sitting any corner that the broom might not pick up.

Now that we finished vacuuming, it's time to take out the trash. Once you take out your trash, you're done. And this was a quick way of how to clean your kitchen in 15 minutes.
