How to Clean an Apartment or House when You Move Out: In the Kitchen

You'll Want it to Appear that the Next Renters Could Start Cooking Right Away

Inside and out make sure that you wipe everything that might have spilled. If you have a large task with any of the appliances you might want to clean them the day before or a couple days before. Spill over of food that happen on the range, the hood of the stove should be cleaned too, or in the oven will have to be cleaned so prepare yourself for a bit of scrubbing if you had any spill over. If you had a food or beverage spill in the fridge make sure that you clean it up before you leave.

Cleaning the Cabinets and Drawers

As long as the inside and outside of the cabinets and drawers in a kitchen aren't dirty you should be able to leave them alone. If you feel that they are dirty a damp sponge or rag will clean them off pretty quick.

You can clean some of the things in the kitchen a few days before to lighten your load of the what you have to clean and don't forget that you will want to make sure that you don't leave anything behind. Keep in mind that the kitchen will not be the only room that you will have to clean before you move out.
