Hi everyone, Ronnie here.

You're listening to Clean with me, the podcast about cleaning to listen to While You Clean.

So today what I'm going to have you do, once you freshened up and maybe lit a candle or turned on that wax warmer is start a load of laundry in your washing machine.

Unless you're kind of in a panic and expecting company, then laundry would kind of be on the back burner.

spent in the kitchen. And the average was definitely about 20 minutes, but the answers ranged from

10 to 30 minutes. One of the people that said 30 minutes washes by hand

and the other person is just a very clean person that would probably be doing a lot of

deeper chores, maybe that some people would consider weekly or monthly.

So, you know, in the scheme of things, 20 minutes is not that long to spend in the kitchen,

and it's probably enough time to get your kitchen clean if you have a dishwasher.

Also, I think some people with shorter answers like 10 minutes might be the type of

people who put things directly into the dishwasher and you know habits that can cut down on the

time spent in the kitchen. So let's get started in the kitchen.

One of the first things I do, and I don't think I've always mentioned this,

I've always mentioned this in past episodes,

is that I gather up any dishes from throughout the house, which usually that would just be
