Kitchen cleaning isn’t one-size-fits-all. From everyday upkeep to kitchen deep cleaning, different surfaces, mess types and household needs require different approaches for a cleaner kitchen. This hub offers practical kitchen cleaning tips and tricks to help you understand how to clean your kitchen, when to disinfect and how to choose the right method for your space.
How to choose the right cleaning method
Clean daily to manage grease, crumbs and everyday messes in active areas.
Disinfect when it matters most, to prevent the spread of cold and flu viruses or baceria, like after illlness, raw food prep or high-touch use.
Focus on the dirtiest areas first, including food-prep surfaces, sinks and handles.
Adjust frequency by area, with some surfaces needing daily care and others weekly or monthly.
Choose methods that protect surfaces, check compatibility before using wipes or sprays.

Countertop Cleaning & Food-Prep Safety
Discover the best ways to clean and disinfect countertops like sealed granite, sealed marble, and quartz while keeping your food-prep areas safe.
We recommend using cleaner sprays and disinfecting wipes made for hard, nonporous surfaces like stainless steel, glass and sealed plastic. Clorox™ All Purpose Disinfecting Spray and Clorox™ Disinfecting Wipes work well on appliance exteriors; for surfaces that may touch food, follow label directions and finish with a potable water rinse.
The best order to clean the kitchen is to start by clearing clutter and taking out trash, then wipe down countertops, appliances and sinks and finish with the floor. Work from top to bottom and from cleaner areas to dirtier ones, disinfecting high-touch spots last so they stay clean longer.
Clean your kitchen daily by wiping down counters, appliance handles and the sink, and taking care of spills as they happen. Do a deeper clean weekly, including the stovetop, fronts of cabinets and floors, and disinfect high-touch surfaces more often after raw-food prep, cold and flu season or heavy use.
