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

while you clean. Okay, in today's episode like usual, we're going to start in the kitchen.

But if you're like me and you woke up to a clean kitchen this morning, go ahead and work in another priority area.

Usually when I say priority area, in my mind, I'm thinking about those front areas, like the

entrance of my home, the living room, I guess, bathroom.

But sometimes a priority area can just mean an area that you need to work in.

I mean, maybe the entrance of your home and your living

room is clean, but you really need to get some laundry going or work in your bedroom. So,

always use this episode however you want to. But we're going to start in the kitchen.

If you need to start a load of laundry, this would be a good time to do it because then it might be time to switch that into the dryer at the end of the episode, depending on how long

your washing machine takes.

Sometimes before a cleaning session, you might want to freshen up a little bit if you don't

feel presentable or light a candle. I know I talk about that a lot, but just a reminder. In the kitchen,

the first thing you might need to do is empty your dishwasher if it's not already emptied. Maybe you did that the night

before. Bonus points if it's already empty. That kind of gives you a head start. Once you empty it,

you're going to want to kind of pre-wrench things or at least scrape them off and reload it and start some dish water in the sink or perhaps

for whatever reason you're washing by hand some people prefer it some people their dishwasher's

not working right now or they don't have one so usually you're going to want to start with your dishes or another way to start would be throwing

away trash.

Sometimes I start with that, but usually there's not a lot of trash on my countertops,

so I end up starting with dishes and then I clear the countertops just before I wipe them down.

So go ahead and be working on dishes.
