Overview
Perform a full kitchen deep clean before leaving the cabin. This ensures the kitchen is ready for the next visitors.
Cleaning Checklist
Counter and Surface Cleaning
Clear all surfaces
Remove everything from countertops. Put away food, appliances, and utensils.
Spray and wipe
Use the all-purpose cleaner (under the sink) to spray all countertops. Wipe with a clean cloth in circular motions.
Backsplash
Wipe the backsplash behind the sink and stove. Grease tends to splatter here.
Dry surfaces
Dry all surfaces with a clean towel to prevent water spots.
Refrigerator
- Remove all food you brought — do not leave perishables
- Check expiration dates on any existing condiments
- Wipe shelves and drawers with a damp cloth
- Leave the refrigerator on and set to normal temperature
Communal condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.) can stay. Discard anything expired or nearly empty.
Stovetop
- Remove grates and soak in hot soapy water
- Wipe the stovetop surface with degreaser spray
- Scrub stubborn spots with a non-scratch sponge
- Rinse and dry grates, replace on stovetop
