Q: Meal preparation and eating can make a mess in the kitchen. One of the best ways to keep your kitchen clean is to clean food and dishes after each meal. That way, messes don't pile up, and you have a clean kitchen to work with at the start of your next meal. After each meal:  Clear the table Transfer leftovers to airtight containers and store them in the refrigerator or freezer Wash, dry, and put away all the dishes Run the dishwasher when it's full Clean spills, crumbs, and messes from the stove, floors, table, and counters Wash out the sink Another easy way to keep your kitchen clean and prevent stains, mold, and other problems is to address spills as soon as they happen. For food spills, use a spoon or cloth to clean up solid waste. Clean up excess liquids or sauces with a cloth. Spray the area with an all-purpose cleaner and wipe it dry.  When spills involve raw meat, use a disinfecting spray to clean the mess to prevent the spread of bacteria. Cleaning liquid spills from the floor is also important for safety, because a wet floor is a slipping hazard. A full dishwasher can mean that dishes start piling up in the sink, and this makes for a messy kitchen. To avoid this, empty the dishwasher when the dishes are clean, and return all the dishes to their proper places. That way, you can put dirty dishes from the sink into the dishwasher and keep the kitchen neat and tidy. Having empty counters is a great way to keep a kitchen looking neat and organized, and it also gives you more space for food preparation and other work. Here are some ideas for clearing cluttered counters:  Store small appliances like toasters and coffeemakers in cupboards Keep non-refrigerated produce in a fruit bowl on the kitchen table Designate a special drawer for random items that are often used in the kitchen, like pens, paper, and mail Find a permanent home for all pots, pans, and kitchenware Store all ingredients, including often-used flour and sugar, in the pantry The garbage disposal can harbor dangerous bacteria and offensive smells, but regular cleaning will prevent this. Clean the disposal at least once a week by:  Filling an ice cube tray with vinegar Pouring baking soda into the waste disposal Turning on the water and running the waste disposal Pouring the frozen vinegar cubes down the waste disposal Letting the disposal run until all the baking soda and cubes are gone Shelf and drawer liners are great for keeping a clean kitchen because they can be cleaned and replaced easily. Shelf liners are especially important in pantries where you store food, but they also protect the shelves in all your cupboards and pantries. To clean the liners, empty the shelf and spray an all-purpose cleaner on the liner. Wipe it down with a clean cloth. Allow the liner to dry before returning items to the shelf. The refrigerator is where you keep most of your food, so it's important for both safety and cleanliness to keep this appliance clean. Clean spills as they occur. Once a month, remove all the food from the refrigerator and freezer and wipe the drawers, shelves, and interior surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner. Wipe the surfaces dry and return the food. To absorb smells in the refrigerator, keep an open box of baking soda or a bowl of coffee beans in the refrigerator. Kitchen floors get messy very quickly with dust, crumbs, food particles, and other matter. To keep the floor clean, sweep or vacuum the floor in the kitchen every evening after the final meal, or each morning before breakfast. Sweeping regularly around the whole house will help minimize dust and allergens throughout the house as well. On top of daily sweeping, you should also mop the floor every week to keep the floor clean. Mopping will remove dirt, spills, sticky spots, and other messes from the floor. Fill a bucket with soapy water and use a sponge or mop to wash the entire kitchen floor. Allow the floor to dry fully before walking on it again to prevent slips and footmarks on the floor. Make sure floors don't present a trip hazard, e.g., if linoleum tears, replace it.
A: Clean up after each meal. Clean spills when they occur. Empty the dishwasher when the cycle ends. Clear off your countertops. Clean your garbage disposal regularly. Install shelf liners in your cupboards and drawers. Clean the refrigerator and freezer. Sweep the floor daily. Wash the floor weekly.

Q: You'll want something that sounds both professional and catchy. Make it both unique and search engine friendly so that your business will pop up when people are searching for the services you're providing.  Check to see if the name you picked out will make a good web domain name. Make sure it's available. Check to make sure the name you pick hasn't already been registered as a business.  Design a logo to go with your name. Make it look modern and sleek, since you'll want to print it on business cards, use it on your website, and use it in other promotional materials. You'll need to  register your business by filling out forms at the register of deeds office. If you're hiring employees, get an  Employer Identification Number (EIN) and fill out the proper tax forms. You may also need to get a license or business permit to operate a cleaning service in your city. Contact your local Small Business Bureau to find out more information. It's necessary to insure your business in case you accidentally cause damage to a client's home. This type of situation can sink a cleaning business that doesn't have basic liability insurance in place. The policy you choose doesn't have to be unaffordable. Talk to a legitimate and well-respected insurance company about covering your business activities for a price that fits into your startup budget. Because a cleaning business is a business based on physical services on-site at client properties, there are some fundamental things that you will need in order to start this kind of enterprise. Either save the funds to secure these items or create a borrowing arrangement that lets you start up your cleaning service with lower overhead.  Going into business with a partner and pooling resources is one way to approach funding if you can't swing it on your own and you don't want to take out big loans. You could also look into grants as an alternative option.

Pick a name. Get your business set up. Get liability insurance. Obtain start-up capital.
