Reset counters each evening
Put food away, clear dishes, and wipe spills with a product suitable for the surface. Avoid abrasive pads on delicate finishes. A short evening reset helps stop yesterday’s mess from becoming tomorrow’s bigger task.
Give the sink some attention
Remove food scraps and rinse the sink after use. Clean according to the material’s care instructions, then leave cloths and sponges somewhere they can dry. Replace worn cleaning tools as needed.
Plan appliance cleaning separately
Wipe stovetop splashes once the surface is cool. For ovens and refrigerators, follow manufacturer instructions and discuss interior cleaning when requesting an estimate. Never mix cleaning chemicals, especially bleach with ammonia or acids.
