What do you typically clean first on a Saturday morning ? I start with my kitchen before moving to the living room.

Imagine going into someone’s home and seeing their kitchen was a mess I wouldn’t feel too comfortable about eating there. Here’s a few tips when cleaning the kitchen:
1. Thoroughly clean your dishes with soap and water.

4. Check the fridge & throw away any old food.
5. Sweep and mop the floors . Be sure to get in the cracks of those appliances !
