Kitchen Deep Cleaning Plan: Step-by-Step Guide with Professional Products

A kitchen deep clean is a comprehensive process that helps maintain hygiene, prolongs the life of furniture and appliances, and creates a comfortable atmosphere for cooking. To make the process effective and less tiring, it’s important to follow a structured plan and use the right professional cleaning products. Let’s go through where to start, how to organize the cleaning, and what products will help you achieve the best results.

Preparation for Cleaning

Before starting, set the conditions to ensure the entire process goes smoothly and efficiently. Preparation includes assessing the scope of work, clearing surfaces, and selecting the right cleaning products. Step-by-step:

• Inspect the kitchen and identify the dirtiest areas.

• Remove all unnecessary items from surfaces, including dishes and food.

• Clean out the fridge and cupboards, discarding expired products.

• Prepare gloves, sponges, brushes, and detergents.

For a versatile start, Chistolain Universal is an excellent choice. This concentrate is suitable for most hard surfaces — from plastic to stainless steel. It has antimicrobial properties and leaves no streaks. Use a 0.1–0.5% solution for daily cleaning and 0.5–1.5% with a 15-minute contact time for disinfection.

Cleaning Ceilings, Walls, and Light Fixtures

Always start from the top to avoid re-contaminating already cleaned areas. Steps:

1. Remove dust and cobwebs from the ceiling.

2. Wipe down light fixtures.

3. Clean the backsplash and upper wall areas from grease and residue.

To combat grease and soot on tiles and glass, Chistolain Soda Effect works well. This ready-to-use formula gently but effectively removes tough stains without damaging surfaces. Apply, leave for 5–15 minutes, then rinse with water.

Deep Cleaning of Kitchen Furniture and Cabinets

Furniture requires delicate yet effective care. Recommendations:

• Start with the upper cabinets.

• Clean both exterior and interior surfaces.

• Pay attention to handles and fittings.

For deep cleaning without damaging finishes, use Chistolain Universal in low concentration. For glossy surfaces, wipe dry with a soft cloth after cleaning to avoid streaks.

Cleaning Kitchen Appliances

Kitchen appliances accumulate heavy dirt and grease, requiring targeted products. Steps:

1. Clean the stove, including grates and burners.

2. Wash the oven and grill.

3. Clean the fridge inside and out.

4. Wipe down small appliances.

For standard dirt, Chistolain Antigrease is ideal. Use diluted (0.2–5%) or undiluted for tough stains. For old or stubborn grease, Chistolain Antigrease Extra is recommended — it handles smoke tar and burnt-on deposits while being safe for ceramics, enamel, and stainless steel. For ovens or grills, DAST Active Foam for Kitchens can also be used; it forms a protective film that makes future cleaning easier.

Cleaning Countertops and Work Surfaces

Since countertops are used daily, they must be cleaned not only of visible dirt but also of microbes. Steps:

• Clear the surface.

• Remove crumbs and grease.

• Pay attention to joints and seams.

For stone or stainless steel countertops, Chistolain Soda Effect or diluted Chistolain Universal are both safe and effective. They prevent dirt build-up and don’t leave residues.

Cleaning the Sink and Surrounding Area

The sink is a hotspot for bacteria, so it requires thorough care. Steps:

1. Clean the basin.

2. Treat the faucet and drain.

3. Wipe the surrounding area.

DAST Active Foam for Kitchens is perfect for the sink. If limescale or rust is present on the sink or faucet, use Chistolain Antiscale. Based on citric and orthophosphoric acids, it effectively removes scale and is safe for stainless steel and ceramics.

Floors and Final Touches

The final stage is cleaning the floor and putting everything back in place. Steps:

• Sweep or vacuum up debris.

• Wash the floor, paying attention to corners.

• Return items to their spots.

For the floor, use Chistolain Floor Cleaner. A 0.5–1.5% solution is sufficient for manual cleaning, no rinsing required. It’s also suitable for mechanical floor washing.

Clean Kitchen — Systematic Approach

Deep cleaning the kitchen requires planning and the right cleaning products. A step-by-step approach and professional solutions like the Chistolain and DAST product lines will help you achieve maximum cleanliness, save time, and extend the lifespan of your furniture and appliances.
