Hi everyone, Ronnie here. You're listening to Clean with me, the podcast about cleaning to listen to

while you clean.

Okay, today's episode is a speed clean, so I'm going to get you started right away,

and then I'm going to talk a little bit more about it while you're working.

The first thing you need to do is load your dishwasher.

You may need to unload it first.

You may not have a dishwasher.

If you don't have a dishwasher, obviously you're going to go straight to the next step, which is filling the sink up with hot soapy water. But first you're going to empty, reload, and run your dishwasher. This is a 20-minute speed clean. I'll admit that it takes a lot longer than that for me to

thoroughly clean my house. But for this to work, we've got to limit our time in each area

on each step. So I am only giving you five minutes in the kitchen today. So just look at it as a challenge. You're going

to need to move quickly. So you're going to need to empty, reload, and run your dishwasher.

If you have things in the sink, set them aside, perhaps on a towel, on your countertop.

Clean out your sink real quick and fill it up with hot, soapy water.

If your countertops are not clear, once your dishwasher is loaded, you're going to need to

throw away any trash, put away any food or anything that's out of place real quick, and just

wipe down those countertops either with

a sponge or a rag that has been dipped in that hot soapy water you're going to wipe down your

countertops and your stove top. Okay.

If you have enough time, if you're not just still on dishes or something,

you can also wipe down your appliances.

You might need a glass cleaning spray for that.

But the important thing is that you get the dishwasher loaded and your surfaces wipe down.
