Ashley suggests using "warm soapy water with Dawn Dish Soap or Citrasolv" for heavy grease. Use a scratch-free sponge and elbow grease. For stubborn drips, carefully use a plastic scraper or razor blade. Magic erasers can be used cautiously, depending on cabinet material, to avoid damage.

Ashley suggests using microfiber towels to quickly clean spills, keeping counters clutter-free, and "putting the kitchen to bed" daily by loading the dishwasher, sweeping, and organizing. These habits ensure a consistently clean kitchen environment.

Ashley highlights high touchpoints and floors as commonly overlooked areas. She advises using "a store-bought all-purpose cleaner and microfiber towels/mop heads" for efficient cleaning. These tools effectively trap dirt and bacteria, ensuring a thorough post-event cleanup.
