Cleaning Countertops and Other Flat Surfaces

You wiped down the countertops after making a great meal. But then you put your hand down on something sticky. So, you must have missed a spot. Ugh.

Well, we’ve got some tips and tricks that’ll have you successfully cleaning flat surfaces like these, no matter your level of vision. Right off the bat, you should try and keep all your cleaning products together in a container like a bucket or caddy. Put it in an easy to get to spot near the areas you’ll use it in. This way, you won’t have to search for the items you need. And you’ll be less likely to pick up the wrong thing. If your cleaning products all look the same, you can check out the labeling workshop for ways to keep track of what’s what.

To clear off the countertop before cleaning, you’ll use a systematic, grid-like approach; front to back, left to right. Start with making a loose fist, then move it front to back over the surface.
