Kitchen countertops are often overlooked areas to focus on cleaning, but they are very important. It goes without saying that any deep kitchen cleaning must focus on countertops for a proper kitchen cleaning.  This not only includes a disinfecting cleaning, but working on decluttering and organizing your countertops. 

A high quality house cleaning in Loveland CO is not always easy to accomplish, especially during this current pandemic. Homeschooling children and working from home put much more stress on your home, making it that much more difficult to keep in a clean state. 

For more relevant tips to help during this time, you can read all about quick kitchen cleaning routines, how to keep your glass tables sparkling, and how to clean up for guests. 

How can I declutter my kitchen counters?

One of the most important ideas to remember when it comes to clutter and organizing is that staying on top of things is much easier than trying to constantly clean up a mess. Developing smart cleaning habits will greatly decrease the amount of cleaning you actually have to do.

Important decluttering habits include:

• Washing your dishes, silverware, and glasses right after use
• When you are in a hurry, putting dishes in the sink or dishwasher
• Storing accessory appliances inside a cabinet, instead of on the countertop
• Designating a place for mail, newspapers, and magazines, instead of letting them spread over the countertops
• Utilizing a specific drawer for miscellaneous small items that easily get scattered over countertops
• Have organized pantry areas so excess food boxes, fruits, and other non-perishable items don’t pile up out in the open

Is there a process to follow to clean my countertops?

The more open and decluttered your countertops are, the easier they will be to consistently clean.  Kitchen countertops should be cleaned quite frequently, potentially daily, depending on the daily usage.  

A simple process to follow:  

• Every evening after dinner, do a quick organizing and declutter of the counters
• Use a disinfecting spray that is safe for your counter and do an evening wipe down
• Make sure to get all crumbs and debris cleaned up, and thoroughly dry and buff the counter with a microfiber cloth to prevent streaking 
• Always use the most mild cleanser possible for your surface so as to not damage it.  Be very careful with any natural stone, as harsh and acidic cleaners can break it down causing damage and a pitted surface.

Why is it important to clean kitchen countertops?

Now that we are dealing with the historic covid-19 pandemic, disinfecting high use areas is even more important.  In addition to viruses, disinfecting countertops is crucial to prevent the spread of food borne diseases and bacteria from raw meat and other foods coming into contact with countertops.
