We all get busy and our piled plates sometimes stay dirty a little longer than we’d like. Ok, maybe that’s not the greatest metaphor, but for me it works. Especially in the kitchen. I know I’ve been talking a lot lately about how busy I’ve been. I’m not complaining, just letting you know what’s going on with me right now. So, right now I’m thinking about getting the most out of my kitchen cleaning routine.

We cook most of our meals from scratch at home, so that means a lot of dishes. Between the cooking, the dishwasher and the handwashing it seems like that’s all we ever get done in the kitchen. I recently discovered Palmolive® Multi-Surface and realized I can clean up a lot in the kitchen in a short period of time with just this one product! For a busy bee like me, this news is greatly welcomed.

Here are five spots in the kitchen I’ve sped up cleaning by using Palmolive® Multi Surface. Just mix up a bowl of water with some Palmolive® Multi Surface, and you’re ready to clean up several hot spots in the kitchen in minutes. I don’t even need to pull out a pail and several bottles of cleaners for this. Or, if you’re handwashing dishes, you already have the soapy water ready to go.

1. Windows: Kids, pets and everyday dust and dirt make my windows look fantastic! Can you sense my sarcasm? A quick wipe down with water and Palmolive® Multi Surface followed by a dry rag or paper towel will leave your kitchen windows sparkling. At least until the next child or animal presses their nose on them. It’s bound to happen, and with this quick cleaning routine, I’m okay with that.
   

   Yuck, the camera really shows the dirty truth about my window!

2. Countertop Stains: Specifically what I’m thinking of are those annoying droplets of heavily died liquids such as concentrated drink mixes, food colorings or gelatin. Sometimes they leave a brightly colored stain on my counter that a regular wipe down won’t clean. Just squeeze the Palmolive® Multi Surface directly onto the stain, covering all of it, then let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe it down afterwards and you’re good to go!
   

   You can see the orange dye under the Palmolive® Multi Surface on the counter. It removed it completely!

3. Cupboard Edges: In our house sadly the grease from stovetop cooking settles on everything, even with the use of a vent. If we’re not paying close attention we can easily miss a spot where grease and dust settles. The outcome is scary, but easily remedied! Palmolive® Multi Surface easily breaks through the grease and it all wipes away easily.
   

   Again my camera did an excellent job of showing the grimy build up. It’s not so noticeable when you’re not up close and personal like this.

4. Inside the Microwave: This is my favorite cleaning method. Put some of the water and Palmolive® Multi Surface mixture into a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave it on high for a few minutes to heat the water enough to produce some steam. This will help to loosen the grease, grime and splatter on all sides of the inside of the microwave. Just wipe it all away when done.
   

   My microwave was due for a wipe down. Thanks to this method it’s less scrubbing for me!

5. Refrigerator Surfaces: The fridge is one of the most frequently visited appliances in my household. Everyone is grabbing the door handles and getting water from the dispenser. Just a quick wipe down of these surfaces can help stop the spread of germs.
   

   Get some extra mileage out of the Palmolive® Multi Surface and plunge some of those water safe magnets in the your soapy water for a good disinfecting.

These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg. I have a lot more ideas for using Palmolive® Multi Surface and that list is growing daily. I love that it allows me to use one product to clean so many surfaces, speeding up my cleaning routine. This makes more time for the rest of my to do list, which in turn gives me more quality time with family throughout the day!

I found Palmolive® Multi Surface at Walmart. Pick yours up there too!
