Cleaned the kitchen today. As you can see, it's a small kitchen, so I don't have a kitchen table. I usually eat at my desk (I know, I'm a monster) so I cleaned that since it serves the same functional purpose. Used a vinegar spray on almost everything, and baking soda paste on the tough stuff.

I love cooking in a clean kitchen!

I used seventh generation dish soap to wash dishes and baking soda to scrub the stove top. Floors were mopped with distilled water in my bissel steam mop. All other items were water and manual scrubbing power.
