Bits of this get done most days. A more thorough job, once a week. I went to town and deep cleaned everything, including stuff I’ve been putting off.

My weapons of choice:

1) Natural sponge with scrubber - sink and hob
2) Dish cloths - surfaces and floor
3) Dustpan and brush - floor
4) Tooth brush - nooks and crannies
5) Lodge pot scraper - hob
6) Bristle brush - table
7) Bucket with hot water and Castile soap - floor and table
8) Baking Soda - hob, sink
9) Soft drying cloths - hob
10) Homemade all-purpose cleaner* - surfaces

* 60ml white vinegar
* 150 ml water
* 40 ml surgical spirit (alcohol)
* 20 drops of essential oils
* 300 ml glass bottle

Did a ton of cooking over the weekend and had to clean up after, so I figured it would be a good time to photograph for a BB. It's amazing how dirty a kitchen gets after just a weekend! I used hot water and elbow grease for nearly everything, but there were some spots on the stove that I scrubbed with a baking soda/water paste and elbow grease.

I had to get a lot of pictures for this one, I have four separate areas of counter space (left of stove, between stove and sink, right of sink, and on the opposite side of the kitchen).

I did the cleaning with a sponge with an abrasive side, a palm sized scrubber, and a very dilute mix of water and dr bronner's unscented castile soap for the sink, stove top and counter tops
Everything was dried with a hand towel.
