"Spills and splatters are a kitchen eyesore that nobody wants to see - but tackling them is not just an aesthetic issue. If ignored, dry debris and food crumbs might serve as a midnight feast for a wide array of insects and rodents. Wet spills, meanwhile, can cause you to lose your footing as you juggle hot pans by the stove. As tempting as it might seem to deal with it later, kitchen spills demand your daily attention."
"There are the daily spills and splatters and there is the long-term grease that quietly coats your cabinets and walls. The only way to keep up with all the different elements that require cleaning is to devise a schedule that allows you to tackle each at a reasonable rhythm. Instead of attempting to completely overhaul the space once a year,"
Reframe kitchen cleaning as proactive maintenance to avoid large annual overhauls. Dirt, debris, and grease accumulate at different rates, so adopt a schedule with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly tasks. Address daily spills, sweep high-traffic areas, and mop greasy spots to prevent pests, slips, and long-term buildup. Long-term grease can quietly coat cabinets and walls, making scheduled degreasing important. Regularly paced cleaning reduces the need for intensive deep cleans, helps preserve expensive appliances and design elements, and saves time and money through small, consistent efforts.
