Now this took longer than I expected but I forgot to multiply my estimate with 3.
I used baking soda, a retired toothbrush, soap, a wipe cloth, broom, dustpan, warm water and elbow grease.

Edge case submission
Here is the kitchen cleaning process. I usually use DR.Bronners. Not sure exactly how eco-friendly it is, so I went Sans-DR Bron! I used vinegar and water mix, along with some lime juice and baking soda. Also the good ole' fashioned steel wool on the pans.

Hello!

I cleaned a communal kitchen and dining room. We just used water and a lot of scrubbing rags, no chemicals.

I cleaned the kitchen using hot water, sugar as an abrasive to clean the stainless steel sink, a micro-fiber cloth and a broom for the kitchen floor. I cleaned the cloth using Ecover Washing up Liquid which I have described in previous BBs.

The stove always looks a bit mucky as the glass top has been discoloured by years of heating. I've tried previously to change this but it's seemingly permanent.

The floor is hard to show as we have wood-print lino in this house. I swept up quite a big pile of stuff (I also have the BBfor sweeping the floor on a separate occasion - I do it a couple of times per week) and then gave it a mop.

The table is actually not in the kitchen as our kitchen is very small. It is in the living/dining room though and we eat from it. I tidied it up, dusted and gave it a wipe down with some warm water. I did the same for the counter tops.
