We all love a sparkling clean kitchen, but between work, family, and everything else life throws at us, finding the time to deep clean can be challenging. Whether you're prepping for guests or just need to get things in order quickly, speed-cleaning your kitchen is a handy skill. With the help of Nellie's planet friendly products, you can blitz through your kitchen cleanup in just 15 minutes. Here's how to do it:
1. Gather Your Nellie's Cleaning Essentials
Before you dive in, make sure you have all your Nellie's cleaning products ready to go. This will save you time and prevent distractions while you clean. Here's what you'll need:
Keep your favourite Nellie's products in a caddy under the sink for easy access when you need to clean in a hurry.
2. Set a Timer and Get Motivated
Set a 15-minute timer to keep yourself on track. This creates a sense of urgency and helps you stay focused on the task at hand. For an extra boost, put on a 3-5 song playlist to keep you energized and moving as you clean.
3. Quick Decluttering
Start by clearing the kitchen counters and table. Gather any items that don't belong in the kitchen and place them in a basket or box to be put away later. The goal is to clear as much surface space as possible, so don't get sidetracked by organizing just yet.
4. Fill the Sink with Warm Soapy Water
Plug the sink and fill it with hot water. Add a small amount of Nellie's Dish Butter to create a rich, sudsy solution.
5. Scrape and Soak the Dishes
Scrape off any leftover food into the trash or compost. Place the dirtiest dishes at the bottom of the sink to soak. This step will make washing easier and faster. Large pans and bowls can be filled with soapy water and left on the counter to soak.
6. Gather and Dispose of Waste
While your dishes are soaking, do a quick lap around the kitchen to collect any trash. Toss everything into the garbage or recycling bin and take out the trash if it's full. This helps you start with a clean slate.
7. Wash Dishes by Hand or Load the Dishwasher
If you have a dishwasher, load it up with the dishes that have been soaking and run a load with Nellie's Dish Cubed. For those without a dishwasher, use your Dish Butter and Forever Brush to hand wash the remaining dishes. This powerful and planet friendly dish soap cuts through grease and grime effortlessly, making it perfect for quick cleaning.
8. Wipe Down Countertops, Appliances, and Sink
Spray Nellie's All-Purpose Cleaner onto your countertops, appliances, and sink. Wipe everything down with your Swedish Dishcloth, focusing on visible areas and high-touch surfaces. Resist the urge to deep clean; you're aiming for a surface level clean that still makes an impact.
9. Finish with the Floors
Sweep the kitchen floor to pick up crumbs, dust, and debris. Don't forget to swap out your kitchen towels for fresh ones, and take out the trash if you haven't already.
10. Admire Your Work
