Kitchen

Your kitchen is more than a place to prepare, cook and eat meals. It is a place where you can bond with your family. You will have an easier time getting your kitchen cleaned and organized if you clean off the big appliances first. You will also need to de-clutter your kitchen by putting small gadgets away. Make sure that you wipe down your countertops and clean behind your appliances.

Bathroom

It can be difficult to keep your bathroom cleaned because it is used multiple times per day. However, the key is to deep-clean your bathroom and make a plan for keeping it clean. You will also need to address any humidity issues in your bathroom. Additionally, organize all of your toiletries.
