- Grab all of your needed supplies together . The customer should provide these.
Don't underestimate the value of this step. Trying to find cleansers, dishcloths, sponges, etc. not only eats up time, but increases the risks of distractions that let you forget what you were working on in the first place. Gather all supplies together before you begin.
- Run a sink of hot, soapy water.
If you have a double sink with a garbage disposal on one side, make sure to use the disposal-free side. Scrape off all the dishes into the bin or garbage side of the sink.
- Place dishes that need to soak into the water.
Try to choose the dishes that are going to give you or your dishwasher the most trouble to get clean. Put the heavily soiled dishes on the bottom. Large dishes like pans and bowls can be filled with hot soapy water and set on the counter to soak.
- While the dishes are soaking, go through the kitchen clearing out trash from your floor, countertops
- Put away all of the items that belong in the kitchen but are not in their proper places.
Don't allow yourself to get distracted by rearranging cabinets, drawers, etc. Simply place the items that are out back where they belong.
- Load the dishwasher or wash by hand.
After you have washed up,empty the dirty water and scrape the plate of food off into the disposal if it was previously blocked. Add the plate to the dishwasher.
- Wash down your countertops, appliances, and sink.
Don’t forget to clean out the microwave, chrome/white appliances . check the cupboard doors for marks .
- Sweep and mop, or vacuum.
- Take out the trash
If the trash is full, or tomorrow is trash day, take the trash outside and reline the trash container so that it is ready for tomorrow's trash.
- Have a quick look around the room and ensure that everything is clean and tidy.
