When it comes to
spring cleaning the kitchen I prefer to take it in bits and pieces rather than
attacking the whole room at once. It is
the only room I actually do in increments because there are so many parts to it
- appliances, cupboards and cabinets full of stuff, drawers, the pantry and
then floors.
Everything out! |
I've been
systematically working my way through the kitchen. Right before we went on vacation I spring
cleaned the refrigerator and the pantry.
I've made it through all of the drawers and cupboards. Now it was time to do the cabinet under the
sink. I can't believe it has just been
over a year already since I renovated under there. You can read about that in this post.
It was a super easy
and I had it done in less than ten minutes.
I pulled everything out. Sprayed
down the inside of the cabinet with some Mean Green cleaner and wiped it out with
a wet rag.
Then I emptied out
the bin I keep my cleaning supplies in and wiped it out. The supplies went back in all neat and
organized. I even combined a few things
like the sponges into a recycled Ziploc bag.
I scrubbed out the
bucket I use as a trash can and lined it with a fresh bag, tossed out the trash
and added two cardboard containers and an empty vinegar jug to the recycle
bin. Then I put everything away inside
and called it good!
Since renovating the
cabinet last year this task is so much easier and faster to get done. It is also stays a whole lot cleaner and nicer
under there too. I am so, so happy I
decided to redo the cabinet like this.
I wish you could motivate me. I so need to do this.
ReplyDeleteI used to dread it so much under there. I can't tell you enough how much better this chore is. :)
DeleteI thank you for the peel and stick tile idea a while back. When we bought the lake place we had a weird corner cabinet that had carpet (yes carpet) glues to the shelves. Even though I had removed the carpet and scrubbed and scrubbed it still felt icky. 10 squares of tile and it is like a whole new world!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesome?! I'm glad you tried it and it works well for you. Carpet? Hmmmmm.
