Are you ready for a clean and organized kitchen? I am! Though I could spend an entire day cleaning and organizing my kitchen, I’ve decided to break this enormous job into small, manageable tasks. My kitchen is disorganized right now and I’ve been meaning to set aside the time to tackle it. I procrastinate though and it never seemed to get done. With the new year upon us, I’m finally going to get the job done. I hope you’ll join me in this fun cleaning challenge: 30 days to a clean and organized kitchen!
I made a handy printable that can be placed on your fridge or household bulletin board. Every day, you’ll have a different cleaning and/or organizing task to complete. I tried to cover the areas that I need to do in my kitchen and hopefully it will cover the same ones you need to tackle as well.

I’ve been dreading tackling my kitchen for the longest time, but you have inspired me to get it done! I like that I can spread it out and not have to do it all at once 🙂 I followed the link to the oven cleaning, and that sounds like genius. I t also helps that I don’t own a toaster or a microwave so I know I will have catch up days if I fall behind 😛
Thank you!

This is a wonderful organizational tool! The kitchen is so tedious to clean as well as mind-boggling from the decisions to make from appliances, gadgets, glasses, dishes, etc. about what to keep versus get rid of. It helped me a lot as I’m not a organized person naturally. If you wouldn’t mind making one of these for both bathrooms, bedrooms and any other area of the house it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.

I love this idea of breaking the chores down to one thing. In the end, everything is taken care of and you still have time to do the usual chores. Thank you.
