Breeze through the spring cleaning season with this essential checklist to make your kitchen sparkle.
Spring cleaning the kitchen can be a dreaded task, especially when it isn’t quite as fun as sorting through the clothes in our wardrobe or the knick knacks in our drawers. Scrubbing down a grimy sink or digging through spills in the fridge? It’s no surprise we often put this task off till the last minute. But fret not: we’ve compiled a handy checklist that’ll leave your kitchen spotless in just six steps. Plus, we dish on the cleaning essentials from Bosch (at a discount!) that’ll shave time off your kitchen cleaning sesh.
1. Start by decluttering

Before diving into the nitty-gritty of scrubbing and wiping, start by decluttering your kitchen. Tackle one section at a time, from countertops to drawers. Do you really need that avocado slicer you bought on a whim? Are there expired items piling up at the back of your fridge? If there are items you haven’t used in the past 12 months, it might be time to toss or donate them. Remember, less clutter means less to clean – it’s a win-win!
2. Deep clean your appliances

Your appliances have seen you through your culinary adventures. Now, it’s time to give them the deep clean they deserve. Give your fridge a facelift by taking everything out and wiping down the shelves and drawers. Want to keep it smelling fresh for longer? Once cleaned, pop in the Bosch fridge deodoriser.

The fridge isn’t the only oft-used appliance; rid your oven and microwave of grime by wiping them down thoroughly. If you’re in need of a little extra help, cart out Bosch’s cleaning gel spray that’ll make it a breeze to get every nook and cranny clean. Psst: the spray can be used on gas hob tops, grill trays and any other enamel or stainless steel surfaces too.
Have a dishwasher? This popular appliance is a godsend when you’re not keen on spending time by the kitchen sink. But, it requires regular cleaning. Take the stress out of maintaining your dishwasher by using the Bosch machine cleaner, which removes grease and stains from its entire interior in a jiffy.
3. Scrub down all cookware

When was the last time you thoroughly scrubbed all your pots and pans? If you can’t remember, well, it’s a sign to start cleaning. From overlooked stains to the charred remains of your last feast, give your cookware some TLC by ensuring they’re spotlessly clean before the festivities. Then, it’s time to wok and roll with squeaky clean cookware.
4. Clean the decks

Your countertops have seen spills, splatters and sizzles through the year. Add them to your kitchen spring cleaning agenda; it’s time to restore your surfaces to their former glory by ridding them of grease and dirt. Clean them with a mixture of water and vinegar. Or, grab a hob cleaner and degreaser from Bosch for particularly tricky stains. Take it from us, a little help from Bosch’s expert solutions makes the task go by so much quicker.
5. Don’t forget the sink
We know, cleaning the sink isn’t a glamorous task, but it has to be done. If washing by hand doesn’t cut it, stock up on Bosch’s essential sponges for all your cleaning and scrubbing needs. And for stainless steel sinks, the Bosch microfiber e-cloth set is here to save your sink from dirt and grime, without harming the surface.
6. Say yes to gleaming floors
Your kitchen floor has probably seen a fair share of food crumbs and spills in the past year. A good vacuum sesh is a start, but for a deep clean, mop your way to a sparkling space. Depending on your floor type, use an appropriate floor cleaner or a DIY solution of warm water and a splash of vinegar. Don’t forget to get those corners and dusty spaces under your appliances!
