Kitchen Cleaning

I can’t imagine not having this around.

At least for now.

There’s nothing more annoying than a bathtub accumulating water from a clogged drain. (I mean, if you wanted a tub full of water, you’d probably just take a bath, right?) But before you call a plumber for help with your shower drain or a clogged sink, you can do a little DIY plumbing in your bathroom. You’ll only need a few things: a rag, a wet-dry vacuum, and maybe a screwdriver.

There are the things you clean regularly, and then there are the things…you don’t. Sometimes it’s because you dread it, and something it’s because they just don’t need attention all that often.

This year, we’re on a mission to help you tackle spring cleaning on your time. Each weekday until April 13, we’ll guide you through a plan to clean and organize different areas of your home, but you’ll have the flexibility to choose exactly what to work on and how long you have to dedicate to the job. Sign up with your email so you don’t miss a spot! Spring really is the perfect time to dig in and refresh your space.

Even if you clean up every time you cook, there will always be food bits and residue — think crumbs and grease — that are pesky pros at working their dirty ways into every crevice and cranny in your kitchen, not to mention clinging stubbornly to surfaces. Even if things look clean overall, there are certain spots that are easily forgotten in the day to day. Zero in on these three spots and choose one (or more) to tackle this weekend.
