How to Deep Clean Your Kitchen in Under 30 Minutes

A deep-cleaned kitchen doesn’t have to take all day. With a little strategy and focus, you can tackle the mess in less than 30 minutes. Start by clearing off all countertops and putting away anything that doesn’t belong. Next, quickly wipe down all surfaces—counters, cabinets, and appliances—using a multipurpose cleaner or a mix of warm water and dish soap. Pay extra attention to greasy areas around the stove. Then, clean your sink thoroughly and run some hot water mixed with lemon or vinegar down the drain to freshen it. Don’t forget to sweep or vacuum the floor, followed by a quick mop if needed. Set a timer to stay on task, and work top to bottom to avoid re-cleaning areas. A focused approach saves time and still delivers that satisfying deep-clean feeling.
