End of Lease Cleaning Checklist: Kitchen Cleaning Tips
- Clean oven walls, racks, grill, and leave cleaned trays inside. To clean your oven without all the harsh chemicals, mix half a cup of baking soda with three tablespoons of water (adjust ratios as required until you have a smooth paste). Spread the paste on your oven walls, avoiding the heating elements in an electric oven. Let the paste sit overnight before removing, then spray with vinegar. The foam should form; simply wipe this away
- Remove stovetop stains and clean thoroughly
- Wash filters and clean range hood, ensuring the overhead light is working
- Clean dishwasher, including rubbers, door, and filter. For a sparkling dishwasher, our cleaning tip is to shake baking soda onto a damp sponge, and wipe around door seels, and remove food and stains. Adding a small cup of bleach to a cycle will also kill any bacteria, and leave the machine fresh and clean
- Clear food and debris from sinkholes, plugs, and taps
- If your kitchen sink is stainless steel, make it sparkle by wiping it down with a couple of drops of mineral oil and a soft sponge
- Clean garbage disposals by dropping in slices of lemon, a spoonful of salt, and a couple of ice cubes; the lemon deodorizes while the salt and ice remove built-up residues
- Wash all countertops, benches, and surface areas

- Clean inside the refrigerator and freezer, removing all food
- Clean behind the refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave
