No, you won't find it on any calendar, but I'm declaring this as "Clean the kitchen week." Pretend your mother is visiting; or that you are moving to a new place and you don't want to take anything you won't use.
Monday: Refrigerator; toss the frosty frozen stuff; make vegetable soup from the tired left overs. The photo above is chicken broth, tomatoes left from summer (peeled), a quarter of a green pepper, some celery tops, chopped onion, and some left over brown rice. Consolidate or pitch. Wipe down the shelves. Clean the cabinet above (if you have one) and the floor below. Don't forget to vacuum the dust.
Tuesday: Gunky, sticky stuff--Stove top, oven and microwave.
Wednesday: Hard to reach stuff--get out a step stool. Shelves in cabinets, both wall and base; pantry if you have one; bookshelves if you have one in the kithen. Look at past due dates on staples; resort your can goods so you know what you have; toss discolored or old food items.
Thursday: Hidden away stuff--Drawers, including that junk drawer where you toss everything you don't know what to do with.
Friday: Shiny stuff--Counter tops, sink, faucets, pictures and mirrors (if you have them) floor.
Saturday: If you're employed, I guess you have to do Monday-Friday all in one day. Otherwise, take the day off.
