Last week I mentioned cleaning the bathroom with ADHD. This week I would like to explain my cleaning process in my kitchen. The kitchen is a hard task for me since it’s one of the rooms that get messy very often. I mean you have after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner. Oh let’s also not forget all the snacking during the day, especially when you have kids.
I’ll be honest here I only clean my kitchen once maybe twice a day. Just depending on how bad it looks. I usually clean the kitchen after the kids are in bed. I need to figure something better out however. Especially since school is out for summer, I let my kids stay up later.
I tried something different last night, and it did help a lot. I cooked dinner around 4:30 and it’s usually done around 5-6. Depending on the meal. Then after dinner 6:30-7pm depends on what I do. I usually need some resting time after I eat. Before I clean up. So after some rest then I start cleaning up. While I clean up… I tell my kids to work on their room. This way I have less distractions and less “mom can I have this or that?” Then I focus on the kitchen for 30 min.
So what to do in those 30 min. First I like to straighten the counters up. When the counters are a mess I feel like I can’t concentrate and I get overwhelmed. So I take all the trash of and throw it away. Put things where they belong, and grab all dishes and put them in the sink or by the sink. Once the counters and table are straightened up, I can then focus on dishes.
First I make sure all dishes in dish drainer are put away. Then I start washing as much dishes as possible within time. If I come to a dish that’s pretty hard to clean I put DAWN POWERWASH SPRAY and let it soak while finishing the rest of the dishes. If I still have a hard time cleaning it I either let it sit in hot water or spray it again with the POWERWASH.
Usually after this my 30 minutes are up. So then I check the kids room and get dessert ready. Then after dessert and the kids are finally in bed. It’s time to finish the kitchen.
Now I finish any leftover dishes along with dessert dishes. Then I use my all purpose cleaner to spray down the counters,sink, stove, and table and wash them off. Next comes drying the floor from all the splashes I made by the sink then I sweep the floor.
This is my general everyday clean. I’ll go over deep cleaning another day. Deep cleaning my kitchen takes me a long time to get done. This is because I do it in parts that way I don’t get too overwhelmed in the kitchen.
