How to Speed Clean Your Kitchen in Less than 15 Minutes + Free Printable via Clean Mama

Sick of spending your evening in the kitchen cleaning? This is my nightly kitchen cleaning routine and the method I use any time I need to get the kitchen cleaned up in a hurry. The secret to getting the kitchen clean in the least amount of time?  Having daily cleaning tasks and a simple cleaning routine. Grab this month’s FREE cleaning checklist here. And you might be interested in the 6 things I do every day to keep the house clean. Having a simple daily cleaning routine is a huge timesaver. Better yet, it makes speed cleaning an easy and effective way to clean up. This checklist isn’t for deep cleaning the kitchen – like washing cabinets and appliances, but it works wonderfully for keeping the kitchen clean on a daily basis.

How about a couple simple and easy speed cleaning shortcuts you can use today? Start with number one and work your way through the process, print the free printable if you need a reference sheet.

  1. GATHER YOUR TOOLS
    Keep your favorite kitchen cleaning tools and cleaners in a caddy or container under the kitchen sink so you can grab them and clean anytime. My must-have caddy tools? Kitchen sink scrub, scrub brush, all-purpose cleaner, disinfecting cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, microfiber cloths, bar mop towels, sponge, and dish soap.
  2. SET A TIMER
    Setting a timer is a great way to motivate to clean quickly. Eliminate any distractions, set a timer for 15 minutes and see how much you can get done.
  3. QUICK DECLUTTER
    Start by collecting anything on the counters and kitchen table. Don’t take the time to put these things away right now, but put them out of the kitchen for right now.
  4. UNLOAD/LOAD DISHWASHER
    Did you know that it only takes 3-4 minutes to unload a dishwasher and put the dishes away? Don’t procrastinate on this one – just put the dishes away! If you have dishes on the counter or sink, load them in the empty dishwasher.
  5. CLEAN THE SINK
    Give your sink a little scrub and get it ready for the next day – you’ll be amazed how this simple task can propel your kitchen cleanliness.
  6. WIPE SURFACES
    Spray down any hard surfaces (counters, kitchen table) and wipe clean with a cloth or sponge. Wiping down counters and cleaning sinks is on my daily routine so this is fairly simple.
  7. QUICK SWEEP OR VACUUM
    If your floors need to be swept or vacuumed, concentrate on high traffic areas, corners, and visible dirt.
  8. PUT OUT FRESH TOWELS
    Don’t underestimate the clean look of fresh towels. Replace your kitchen towels with clean towels as you’re making your final sweep.

And that’s it! If you start putting this little routine into practice, your kitchen will be so much easier to keep clean – guaranteed!
