Collapse ▲During this pandemic, many have found themselves spending a significant amount of time at home cooking. The CDC has specific information on how to clean and disinfect for COVID-19. If you are not dealing with COVID-19 disinfection and cleaning needs at your home, there are still items you can address to keep your kitchen healthy. Making a habit out of regular cleaning makes chores easier.
Here is a list of cleaning suggestions for your kitchen:
| Regularity | Task |
| Daily | Wash dishes, wipe kitchen work surfaces (countertops, cooktops, sinks), sweep floor, empty trash |
| Weekly | Check refrigerator and discard spoiled food, mop floor, scrub kitchen sink, disinfect kitchen cleaning sponges, wash and rinse kitchen trash can |
| At least every 3-6 months | Wash kitchen cabinetry, thoroughly clean refrigerator and microwave |
| Yearly or as needed | Clean out and wash cupboards, wash walls and woodwork, wash curtains/window covering, clean oven, wash light fixtures |
