1. Clean as You Cook: Tidy up as you prepare meals by washing dishes, wiping counters, and putting away ingredients. This prevents a huge mess from piling up at the end. 2. Create a Routine: Stick to a daily cleaning routine with specific tasks, like loading the dishwasher after dinner or wiping down surfaces before bed. Small, consistent efforts make deep cleaning less overwhelming. 3. Declutter and Organize: Keep counters clear and organize kitchen tools so everything has a place. This reduces visual clutter and makes cleaning quicker and easier.
