The kitchen tends to be the gathering place in every home. Unfortunately, it also often winds up being the messiest. It doesn't have to be this way. By changing up a few habits and taking just a little time out of your day, your kitchen can get clean and stay clean. Dishes The dishes can be the worst problem in the kitchen. The best way to keep dishes from taking over the sink, the counters and the kitchen table are to clean them up as you use them. Train your family -- and yourself -- to always put dirty dishes straight into the dishwasher. If you don't have a dishwasher, fill up the sink with hot, soapy water and put your dishes straight into it after eating. Clean the dishes and put them away and then enjoy your evening without guilt. Floor The floor is another area of the kitchen that gets out of control quickly. A daily sweep is usually enough to keep the floor looking great and only takes about five minutes. Mop about once a week, adding it to your calendar if that helps. Another great trick for keeping the floor clean is to place a couple of area rugs by the sink and the stove. When the inevitable spills occur, just toss the rug in the laundry or shake it out in the back yard. Counters It's easy for counters to get cluttered up quickly with appliances, knick knacks and homewares. Simply storing most of your items in the kitchen cabinets will help to reduce the clutter and will make your kitchen look cleaner. Wipe up spills as they occur to prevent stains. If you have been working with raw meat, spray down the counters with disinfectant and wipe them clean with hot water immediately. Cabinets You can give your whole kitchen a complete makeover just by replacing your cabinet doors, especially if they are old or stained. Give your existing cabinets a little love by cleaning out all the items you never use and donating them to your local thrift store. While you are at it, throw away any expired food you have hanging around. Organize your remaining items in a logical manner and show your family so that they know where to put things. Once you have a system in place, keeping the kitchen clean will be a breeze. Plus, once you make it a habit, you may not ever have to think about it again.
