How often should you clean the kitchen?

Counters, sink and stovetop daily; appliances and floors weekly; the oven, hood filter and fridge monthly. The checklist is grouped exactly that way.

What’s the most overlooked kitchen cleaning job?

The dishwasher filter and the range hood filter. Both trap grease and food and are easy to forget, which is why they’re on the monthly list.
