Award Winning Atlanta House Cleaning Expert Offers Kitchen Cleaning Tips for this Holiday Season
As the holiday season gets info full swing, incorporate these quick and easy tips from Atlanta House Cleaning Expert Raina Raflo to quickly clean your kitchen so that you have more time to spend with your guests.

CHAMBLEE, GA, December 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Once you have had your home cleaned by an expert maid service to prepare for holiday guests, the last thing you want to do is spend all of your time maintaining the sparkle.

One of the most troublesome areas is the kitchen. You need to use the kitchen to prepare the holiday feast, but you want it to be clean and orderly when your guests arrive.

Raina Raflo, Atlanta house cleaning authority and founder of award-winning cleaning service Sponge & Sparkle Inc. shares six easy kitchen cleaning tips to help you quickly clean up so that you can spend more time with your guests.

Tip # 1 - Keep your counters pristine

Cover the counter with butcher or wax paper before making a mess; and just fold up the paper with the scraps and toss it away when you're done.

Tip # 2 - Prep your dirty dishes on the go

Fill your sink with hot soapy water - as you work, toss in the tools and dishes you've used and let them soak. When it is time to load the dishwasher, a quick drain and rinse is usually all that is needed.

Tip # 3 - Keep scraps out of the way.

Keep a bowl beside your cutting board. (If you compost, use two bowls - one for compostable, and another for non-compostable scraps). Toss scraps into your bowl(s) as you work. When you are done, empty your scrap bowl(s).

Tip # 4 - Clean in stages.

Once you are done with the food prep stage, put your dishes into soapy water. Put away any items you don't need for the cooking stage. Do a similar deck clearing at each stage to make working easier and buildup lighter.

Tip # 5 - Stave off stickiness.

Line your baking and roasting pans with foil or parchment paper to save scrubbing later. Coat measuring utensils with non-stick spray so sticky ingredients like honey and peanut butter will slide right out and clean up easily.

Tip # 6 - Use your downtime wisely.

While the water is boiling, the oven heating, or onions are softening in the pan, handle those small-dose kitchen cleaning tasks like loading or emptying the dishwasher, wiping spills, or sweeping.

Remember, as host or hostess of holiday gatherings, you don't want to be locked in the kitchen. Use these tips to get your kitchen clean quickly so that you can socialize.
