This is about focusing on the spots that make the biggest difference so your kitchen feels fresh again. Pick a few tasks, work through them at your own pace, and let the rest wait.

🌟 KITCHEN RESET TIPS

Focus on one appliance or surface at a time.
Let cleaners sit so you are not scrubbing unnecessarily.

A clean kitchen makes everything else feel easier. Once the post holiday mess is gone, cooking and cleanup feel lighter and more manageable. A simple reset is often all it takes to get back into a good rhythm.
