The One-Weekend Kitchen Deep Clean: A Room-by-Room Checklist

From degreasing range hoods to reviving grout, here's the order professionals actually follow.

Professionals always work top to bottom and dry to wet. Start with cabinet tops and light fixtures before you touch a single counter.

Range hood filters soak best in near-boiling water with a scoop of baking soda and a squeeze of dish soap. Give them 20 minutes, then brush.

For tile floors and grout, a powered scrubber saves your knees and your Sunday. If you'd rather hand it off, ScrubMAX Cleaning Services handles hard-floor care professionally.

Finish with a microfiber pass on stainless steel, going with the grain.
