The kitchen is the hardest-working room in any home — and the one that most needs a proper deep clean. Here’s a room-by-room approach that tackles every corner. For help with deep clean kitchen step by step in the Wellington region, Nice Work Cleaning Co. is your trusted local team.
Step 1: Clear Everything Out
Remove everything from benches, cupboards and the fridge. This is the only way to properly clean behind and beneath appliances and get into the back of cupboards.
Step 2: The Oven
Mix baking soda and water into a paste, coat the inside of the oven and leave overnight. Wipe out the next morning with a damp cloth — no harsh chemicals needed. For stubborn burnt-on grease, a dedicated oven cleaner works well.
Step 3: Rangehood and Filters
Remove the rangehood filter and soak in hot water with dish soap for 15 minutes. Scrub with a brush, rinse and dry before replacing. Wipe the rangehood exterior with a degreaser.
Step 4: Cupboards Inside and Out
Wipe inside cupboards with a damp cloth, paying attention to crumbs in corners. Wipe door fronts and handles with a degreaser — kitchen cupboard doors accumulate cooking grease surprisingly quickly.
Step 5: Fridge
Remove all shelves and drawers and wash in warm soapy water. Wipe the interior with a mix of warm water and white vinegar, which deodorises as it cleans. Don’t forget the door seals — these harbour mould.
Step 6: Sink and Taps
Scrub the sink with baking soda, rinse, then polish taps with a microfibre cloth. Pour boiling water down the drain to clear grease buildup.
Step 7: Floors
Sweep or vacuum thoroughly, then mop with a suitable floor cleaner. Pay attention to the area under the toaster and around the bin — these spots collect crumbs and debris.
