Sometimes I feel as though all I do is clean my kitchen; and I don’t really like to clean.  I have two kids, a dog, and of course my husband and I dirtying it up all day long and sometimes it just never stays clean long enough.  I have found a few ways I can cut down on the time it takes me to get my kitchen clean and presentable.  Simplicity is key here.  I do deep cleaning on specific days and otherwise i move quickly.  The first thing I do is give myself a time limit.  This is how long I can spend.  It makes me move faster.  Next, I unload my dishwasher as soon as it finishes the cleaning cycle so it will be ready for the next load of dishes going in.  I don’t know how I would function without my dishwasher.  I find that the area that has the ability of getting messy the fastest is the sink.  Every product I use in the kitchen is dishwasher safe.  That is a must in my house.  As I use dishes throughout the day, I load as I go.  This gives me less to do at the end of the night after dinner.  I also use a spay bottle of 1 part vinegar and 1 part water to mop my floor.  I spray the solution onto the floor and then mop it right up.  This way I don’t have to wring out my mop each step of the way; and I don’t have to wait as long for the floor to be dry.  I also love the pre-moistened kitchen wipes.  I hope these suggestions help you spend more time with those you love and less time cleaning a dirty kitchen.
