Time-Saving Kitchen Cleaning Tips

Speed up your kitchen cleaning routine with these tips from the experts.

 At Merry Maids, we love cleaning; it’s what we do, but we know we’re a little abnormal for this. It’s certainly not everyone’s favourite thing to do. And even if it is, you still want to make the most of your time.

Unfortunately, cleaning your kitchen can be a mammoth task, sucking the time out of your day with ease.

Thankfully, the experts at Merry Maids UK have years of expertise needed to offer some tried and tested methods to save time when cleaning your kitchen. In fact, we asked Gina Glendinning and her team at Merry Maids Wakefield for their solutions, and have compiled them here for you.

In this blog post, check out these top three time-saving kitchen cleaning tips used by professionals in our homes and yours.


Clean as you go

One cleaner finds that the best way to save time when cleaning your kitchen while ensuring high standards is by cleaning up after yourself when cooking, so you leave less to do when you’re doing the big clean.

“I always find it is easier to wipe down the worktop as I go, for instance, as I finish preparing dinner, as I finish cooking dinner and as I load the dishwasher. This way, I never seem to have a huge amount to do at the end of the day. If you spill something, wipe it up immediately, as if you leave it, your worktop may stain, or the spillage will be stubborn to remove.”


Keep your cupboards tidy

Try to organise as much of your kitchen equipment as possible. If you keep items in cupboards, your work surfaces are clear, and cleaning is much quicker. It might be hard, but sometimes organising your kitchen might be the best form of cleaning you do!


Check the sink

Believe it or not, your kitchen sink is one of the dirtiest places in your home. In fact, one study revealed that 47% of kitchen sinks had coliform bacteria, while 27% tested positive for mould!

Swill it every time you use it and remove waste, that way when you come to clean the sink, it should be stain-free and quick to clean.
