Who this list is for
This checklist is for anyone tackling a focused spring cleaning project under the kitchen sink. If you want to clear out old supplies, check for visible leaks, and organize this often-neglected space, this list is for you. It’s meant for homeowners, renters, or anyone who wants a quick but thorough refresh.
How to use this list
Gather your supplies before starting: rubber gloves, flashlight, trash and recycling bags. Remove everything from the cabinet so you can see all surfaces. Use the flashlight to check for moisture or leaks—if you spot any, stop and arrange for service. Clean all surfaces with all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber cloth, then use disinfecting cleaner for any stubborn spots. Scrub with a non-scratch sponge or small brush as needed. Let everything dry before installing a waterproof shelf liner and putting items back in organized bins or a cleaning caddy.
What to skip
Don’t try to fix plumbing issues yourself—just note any leaks and contact a professional. Skip using harsh chemicals that could damage pipes or surfaces. Avoid overfilling the space when you put items back; clutter makes it hard to spot problems later. Don’t ignore expired or empty products—toss or recycle them right away.

After the clean
