The Ultimate Kitchen Deep Cleaning Guide

From the stovetop to the baseboards, here's how professionals deep clean a kitchen — plus the spots most people miss.

The Ultimate Kitchen Deep Cleaning Guide

The kitchen is the hardest-working room in your home — and the one that benefits most from a true deep clean. Here's how the pros do it.

Start top to bottom

Work from upper cabinets and range hood down to the floors so dust and grease fall onto surfaces you clean last.

The deep-clean checklist

  • Degrease the stovetop, grates and backsplash
  • Clean inside and outside the oven and microwave
  • Wipe cabinet fronts and handles
  • Sanitize countertops and the sink
  • Clean inside and on top of the refrigerator
  • Descale the sink and faucet
  • Sweep and mop, including under the toe-kicks

Spots people miss

  • The top of the fridge and cabinets
  • Behind small appliances
  • The dishwasher gasket and filter
  • Baseboards and corners

A spotless kitchen isn't just about looks — it's about a healthier, better-smelling home.
