Kitchen Cleaning

It’s known as the heart of the home and we all love visiting it to see what’s cookin’ figuratively and literally. So, it should always look terrific, however it is a place where great messes can be made. Here are our secrets to tackling kitchen tasks and keeping it gorgeous.

I've been going through one heck of a kitchen renovation, and it's pretty much done (yay!).  I am so pleased with the results, and it's been such a joy to set up and cook in a kitchen that feels like 'me'.  We purchased and installed all new cabinets (glass...
It should not come as a surprise that the most crust-laden place in my kitchen is...That gap between the stove and the counters! How hideous is this mess?  No one thinks to deal with it, but springtime is a great time to pull it out and get a quick little...
Some consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home - the perfect place where families get together and share memories that will last a lifetime.. my neighbour considers the kitchen the perfect place to cook macaroni and cheese, in his underwear, at 11:30 on a Saturday night..and...
Just as the bed sets the tone of the bedroom, the kitchen sink does to the kitchen. If it is dirty and piled high with dishes, the kitchen will look like a mess, even if the whole rest of the room is clean. But keeping the sink clean and shiny is...
A few weeks back we made a video all about washing dishes using your hands. Following this, I received 73,240 requests for a video on washing dishes using your dishwasher, and because we here at Clean My Space do absolutely everything that we are told, here is a video all...
There are only two things in this world more monotonous than hand-washing dishes: watching grass grow, and watching paint dry. However, for most of us, washing dishes is a tedious reality. Even if you have a dishwasher, you still have to deal with items that aren't dishwasher safe, along with...
For those of you who brown bag it everyday, you probably are quite familiar with the plastic container. For those of you who have ever used one or worse, microwaved some delicious spaghetti sauce in one of these - you also know what a pain they are to keep clean. The...
Toasters, the unwanted wedding gift, the college dorm necessity, and the perpetuator of our addiction to carbs. Anyway, that aside,we get asked all kinds of toaster cleaning questions.  And, I can’t blame you, because the toaster is this compartmentalized gadget that gets placed neatly in a corner and all the...
You can find a microwave in just about every kitchen these days, and a lot of those microwaves need a good cleaning! Because microwaves are used so often, they get dirty really fast. At my house, we use our microwave at least twice a day. That’s 14 times a...
My fridge is disgusting, help! That's a comment we get quite often, so often that we decided to make an in-depth tutorial on how to clean your fridge properly.  Now I'll warn you, it's not a quick job (if done properly).  You can do some quick little cheats which take...
Dishwashers are NOT self-cleaning, at all.  In fact, they are little storage containers for your dirty little secrets.  Further, you can't get a good clean load through when your dishwasher is dirty.  They are known to harbour fungus, along with old food and proliferate bad odours throughout your clean...
We spend good money upgrading our homes. Gorgeously designed homes; sigh.  We dream about them, pin ideas about them to our most treasured Pinterest boards, gawk at our neighbors' renos and take an extra long time shuffling down the aisles of home renovation stores.  We are literally obsessed with beautifying...
If you are cooking for the holidays, I want some. Send me a care package. We always complain that we eat too much but it does happen only once per year (that's the real reason LuluLemon pants exist).  And you know you've pinned like 2,398,439 recipes that you want to...

Day 3 | Safely Dispose of Cooking Grease I've heard that a plumber's rate triples on Holidays, and there's no surprise that clogged pipes occur most often during this time. Fats, oils and grease seems harmless, but indeed it is not.  When in liquid form, it is being beckoned by the kitchen...
Cream of Tartar sounds way fancier than it really is. In fact, it's known in the scientific community as Potassium bitartrate, but sounds way classier as cream of tartar.  Don't you feel a little more bourgeoisie now?  It kind of sounds like a 19th century toothpaste that royalty used. I...
