Cleaning and sanitizing your kitchen is easy, effective, and inexpensive, because everything you need is likely in your kitchen!

You Will Need

  • Sponges
  • Soapy water
  • Bleach
  • A towel
  • Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide
  • A microwave oven
  • A dishwasher (optional)
How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Put things away

Step 1: Put things away

Put away all food, dishes, silverware, and small appliances.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Remove all food and soil particles

Step 2: Remove all food and soil particles

Remove all food particles and other soil types that are visible on surfaces using a sponge, soap, and warm water.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Clean handles

Step 3: Clean handles

Wipe down all cupboard knobs, refrigerator door handles, and stove handles with fresh soapy water.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Re-wipe with bleach

Step 4: Re-wipe with bleach

Wipe down the same surfaces, this time with one capful of household bleach in a gallon of clean, lukewarm water.

Mixing soap and bleach together can be toxic. Mixing bleach with soap and food particles also lessens its effectiveness.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Wipe dry

Step 5: Wipe dry

Allow all food contact surfaces to dry, or dry them with a clean, dry towel.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Clean cutting boards

Step 6: Clean cutting boards

Clean and sanitize plastic cutting boards in a dishwasher or with soapy water, and then sanitize with straight vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.

Don’t put wooden cutting boards in the dishwasher.

How To Clean and Sanitize the Kitchen: Clean sponges

Step 7: Clean sponges

Clean sponges by wetting them and putting them in a microwave for one minute or running them through a dishwasher cycle. Never microwave a dry sponge.

Each year over 550 food-borne illnesses are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40 percent of which are attributed to restaurants.
