In most homes, the kitchen is the busiest room in the house, a hub of activity centered on meal planning, cooking, eating, and cleaning up. And in today’s busy world, it’s essential to be able to maintain the kitchen quickly and easily, so that you can get to all the other things on your to-do list.

Here are some ideas

•Stove and counter top
Wipe up any spills promptly—it’s easier to wipe them before the food has a chance to harden. After stirring soups and sauces, be sure to use a spoon rest rather than sitting the spoon on the stove top or counter top. This simple step eliminates the need for wiping the surface later.

•Table
Keep paper towels handy for cleaning up spills, especially when dining with young children. Use a special tray or plate for condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or salad dressing. When the condiments are placed on the tray after each use, the tray catches any stray drippings, and minimal wiping of the table will be needed.

•Floors
Floors can be the most challenging part of the kitchen to keep clean. To prevent tracking, wipe up any spills immediately with damp cloth or paper towel. Using kitchen mats at key points, such as in front of the sink and stove, can simplify the task of keeping the floors clean. They are easy to toss into the washing machine, and will help minimize the need for mopping the floors.

With these simple steps, you can make kitchen cleaning easy and spend more time on the rest of your life!
