Additionally, clean your microwave and oven, both inside and out, as both can accumulate food debris and crumbs.

Finish off with the floors and walls, which can accumulate a lot of dirt and grime. Sweep or vacuum the floors and then mop them. Use an all-purpose cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water. For your walls, consider a mixture of vinegar, water, and baking soda.
