The kitchen is the hardest-working room in most homes — and in Las Vegas, it faces extra challenges from hard water, heat, and the grease and residue that build up faster in a warm climate where cooking, baking, and entertaining happen year-round. A periodic deep clean (beyond the daily wipe-down) keeps it not just looking good, but genuinely sanitary. Here’s a complete room-by-room checklist.

Appliances: Inside and Out

Appliance exteriors get attention regularly — the interiors rarely do.

• Oven — Interior surfaces accumulate baked-on residue that standard cleaning never reaches; a dedicated degreasing approach (or self-clean cycle followed by a thorough wipe-down) restores it properly
• Refrigerator — Pull out shelves and drawers for a full wash, wipe down interior walls and seals, and don’t skip the condenser coils — dust buildup there reduces efficiency and shortens the appliance’s lifespan
• Microwave — Interior splatters bake on quickly with regular use; a steam-and-wipe approach loosens buildup without harsh scrubbing
• Dishwasher — Check and clean the filter, wipe the door seal (where grime commonly hides), and run an empty cycle with a dishwasher-safe cleaner periodically

Countertops, Backsplashes, and Cabinets

Use a cleaner appropriate to your countertop material — natural stone, quartz, laminate, and butcher block all have different care needs, and the wrong product can dull or damage the surface. Backsplashes accumulate cooking splatter that needs more than a quick wipe, and cabinet exteriors — especially around handles and near the stove — pick up grease film that becomes sticky and dust-attracting if left unaddressed.

Sinks and Faucets: Where Hard Water Shows Up Most

Las Vegas’s notoriously hard water leaves mineral deposits on faucets, handles, and around the sink basin faster than in most parts of the country. A vinegar-based solution or a descaling product formulated for fixtures helps dissolve buildup — and a quick wipe-down after each use prevents new deposits from setting in the first place.

Range Hoods and Vents

Range hood filters trap airborne grease that, over time, becomes thick and sticky — and can even become a fire hazard if neglected for too long. Most filters can be soaked in hot, soapy water and scrubbed clean; the hood’s exterior and surrounding cabinet surfaces should also be wiped down regularly.

Floors: Grease Plus Grit

Kitchen floors face a unique combination of cooking grease and tracked-in desert dust. Sweep or vacuum thoroughly before mopping — mopping over loose grit just grinds it into the surface — and use a cleaner suited to your flooring material for the best results without dulling the finish.

The Often-Missed Spots

Behind and underneath appliances, inside drawer organizers, light fixtures and ceiling areas above the stove, and the often-overlooked space above upper cabinets all deserve a place on the deep-clean list — these are exactly the spots that, once addressed, make the entire room feel transformed.
