5 Simple Steps to Keeping a Clean Kitchen

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GiveItASparkle #CollectiveBias

If you’re anything like me, time is a rare thing these days. Especially when it comes to cleaning. There is no such thing as waiting to clean until we have some “free time” nowadays, and one thing we hate is a dirty kitchen. So in an effort to ensure our most used space of the house is always tidy, we devised a plan then headed to Target to stock up on essentials! Here are five simple steps to keeping your kitchen clean.

Make a schedule | First things first, decide when you are going to do the dishes, clean the counters, etc. so you don’t have to guess or can’t say “I’ll do it later” (because you know you won’t). We’ve always found it best to clean as you go to avoid large pile ups like take more time. DSC_0049

Have the right materials | While dishsoap is certainly a key player here, your sponge is your best weapon against dirty dishes and grimy counter tops. The NEW ocelo™ No-Scratch Scrub Sponges are my go to to keep everything clean! With the new non-printed designs, it’s easy to keep the sponges separated for their different tasks as well (counter tops, dishes, etc.) without getting confused.  While we were at Target stocking up on our clean kitchen supplies, we snagged these over in the home section with the other ocelo™ brand products.

Have a reminder | Keeping the sponge visible near  your sink is a great reminder to do the dishes every time you wash your hands. I’m one for simple looks, opting for vibrant solid colors rather than patterns, and the new ocelo™ scrub sponges provide just that. Now I don’t feel silly having it out on display, and am much more likely to grab it clean while it’s out rather than hidden away.

Keep it simple | Less is more. Really. The ocelo™ no-scratch scrub sponges are great for cleaning non-stick cookware and are tough on grease without scratching. They’re also soft enough for delicate glasses and mugs that need a more gentle touch. Stove tops and granite counter tops are also a breeze to clean with these sponges. Why have too many things when you can have product that does it all?DSC_0052

Make it fun! Another bonus to the NEW ocelo™ No-Scratch Scrub Sponges (non-printed) is that they come in fun colors at Target: teal, lemon, mango, and lime. As little miss continues to grow (and help!) this will be huge with her as the vibrant colors really keep her attention. But let’s be honest, I’m going to be more likely to clean when I’ve got cute sponges to work with as well 😉

Talk about putting the right foot forward and stocking up on all the necessary materials to keep your kitchen clean!
