It is hard to believe we are in  the second week of the month.  This also means we are in Zone 2 The Kitchen.  There’s a valid reason for this to be in week two of the month.  Week Two is always, always a full week and with the Kitchen being ‘The Heart Of The Home’, we need to give it our best attention this week.  I like to work it into my Weekly Home Mambo that I break the seven tasks into days.  Some of the tasks don’t take much time at all.  This is then the day that I focus more on touching up the zone we are currently in.

I could give you a detailed list of things to do that during the month may not get it’s best attention in the Kitchen on a daily basis, but I am not.  There are all kinds of lists everywhere on the internet to find.  Instead, I am leaving it up to you.  It is your kitchen and you know where the spills happened and the last time you wiped down your cabinets or even wiped off the top of your refrigerator.  Zone work is simply this: wiping door nobs off, the refrigerator handle, spills from cooking, an extra effort in scrubbing the floors.  Maybe you are like me and have very hard water.  I like to bring out the vinegar to remove the mineral deposit build up on the faucet and around the sink.  If your trash can hasn’t been cleaned out for awhile and it stinks, throw some kind of cleaner in the trash can to soak.  While you are at it, wash your broom bristles and dust pan.

It really is simply taking the time to decide what is most important to you and look for ways to overlap a few tasks like the trash can example.  Zone work is NOT meant to tear you Kitchen completely apart and scrub down.  We have a month long event for this that happens twice a year.  Then you can really get into the details if you want.

We use our Kitchens for so many things.  Give this space the attention it deserves.  So goes the Kitchen does the rest of the home seem to be easier to take care of when you are comfortable in your Kitchen.
