Kitchen Cabinets 101
I can't wait for spring... which may seem weird after such a mild winter. I'm most looking forward to cleaning with the windows open and revisiting my garden. Based on the last few new clients I've been introduced to, they feel the same way. People are starting to reorganize parts of their home, and schedule deep full cleaning, as well as book for regular bi-monthly cleaning.
Yesterday, I spent five hours cleaning out, washing, and relining the kitchen cabinets of another great client. Armed with gloves, sponges, Mr Clean Magic Erasers, a bucket and some Lysol all purpose cleaner I got to work.
This specific client lives alone (her son is at college out of state and visits frequently), and aside from using the microwave, and occasionally reheating things on the stove, doesn't cook much. Going through the kitchen, I started on the upper cabinets and worked my way around the room, and then did the same thing for the lower cabinets and drawers. Pulling out all items, wiping down if necessary, or washing the more dusty items. Scrubbing the cabinets clean, and then laying down clean liners was therapeutic and gave me time to consider how to most efficiently use the space.
Here are just a few before & after pics (if anyone knows how to turn edit photos, let me know- I'm getting a cramp in my neck!):
This one is my favorite (probably because I'm such a hot beverage addict!):
Previously she had all of her k-cups in a rubbermaid bowl and the original boxes. She was wasting so much time digging through her mess, it was totally stressing her out! Now everything is labeled and organized so even pre-caffeine, she'll be able to maneuver quickly!
