15-Minute Kitchen Cleanup
by Marcia Ramsland
Cleanup can be done faster than you think. And there are only five steps to
complete it in 15-minutes!
1. Clear the table and
leave only the centerpiece. Load the dishwasher, collect hand-wash items, and
put the leftovers away ASAP. Get the whole family involved to speed up the
process. (Time: five minutes)
2. Set up a rotating
family schedule for dishwashing. Wash the remaining pots and pans right after
the meal before they get crusty and take twice as long to get done. (Time: five
minutes)
3. Wipe off the table
and the kitchen counters. (Time: one minute)
4. Put the dried dishes
and the drying rack away as soon as possible. A kitchen always looks messy if
dishes are continually drying on the counter. (Time: two minutes)
5. Empty the garbage and
clean the floor as needed. (Time: two minutes)
Total time spent in
cleanup: fifteen minutes. Now you’re finished for the evening and can do
something else you enjoy!
