Overwhelmingly Messy Kitchen and How I Cleaned It Up (7 Tips) | Homemaking with Denise

Hi Homemakers. Please don't be appalled when you see my totally out of control kitchen. I started to just clean it up and go but then I thought some of you might need to see that real life happens at my house too. Life isn't always neat like on an Instagram story. I hope it proves helpful and please...tell me what tip was most useful to you. Leave me a note in the comments.

Some awesome tips Denise , thanks for sharing 👍👍

You are so right, Denise! Family time is more important. I can think of the past when some of us were in the kitchen doing clean-up and we could hear a lot of laughter, teasing, jokes, etc, and we missed out on that fun. This was good information for newer homemakers and a reminder for those who are more seasoned. Happy 2024!

Very helpful you have a lovely family

I love your jean skirt! I'm one of those "wash your dishes before you wash your dishes" people, too!! Great tips for getting a kitchen that's a "hot mess" back to neat and clean!!! Tfs 😊❤️

Denise, this was definitely a great video! But all that extra cooking and cleaning was the number one reason why I didn't care to celebrate holidays for the last past two years! That allowed me to spend more time with My Children, because I didn't give all my precious time to cooking, and they were all on board about the whole situation.

Thank you Ms Denise. I am like you about my kitchen, and my home in general. I make sure that I always cleanup the kitchen while cooking, and that way it is not so overwhelming! I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I have gone to bed without my kitchen being spotless. I value the step by step tips that you demonstrated!!! You are an excellent Homemaker❤

Love this video! Great perspective!! Thanks Denise! 🩷

The one thing I wish I had is a dishwasher, I honestly think that's why I hate the kitchen having to wash dry and put away is a task. I noticed that we have the same cookware by Curtis Stone, it's my favorite and easy clean up.

Thanks for sharing! These videos are so awesome and encourage even us older moms!! These are also great for young moms/wives starting out. I’m reminded of Titus 3:2-5 in the Bible. Thanks again and God Bless!💜

Great tips. CookingatPam'sPlace said that most people load the dishwasher wrong. If the jets are in the middle half of them should face one way and the other half face the opposite way. She has also been doing useful food recalls. There have been more now than all the 44 years I've been alive.

Denise I am back again! I can't believe it. I had a major surgery I had to have my kidney removed so when I came home from the hospital I didn't get a chance to go in my kitchen when I finally did I wanted to cry I just went back upstairs until I got me enough strength and I went downstairs and clean my kitchen the way I wanted it to be clean my son really tried😢 I can't believe how you came into my life and help the sister out😂❤❤❤❤

🎉 Happy 2024 Mrs. Denise n family. Mam I truly am on board with you . Enjoying the Christmas festivities can be Very Enjoyable but let me say that afterwards WOW. REALITY (lol)! My Daughter treated myself n my bestie n her daughter n my granddaughter ALSO to the COLOR PURPLE Opening 😊. I must say that I enjoyed it n we all had a great time . My daughter bought VIP tickets that accommodated All of us with unlimited popcorn, soda n slushes n ice cream as well. Can you imagine that. I really enjoyed myself because I hadn’t been to the movies since the Pandemic 😢. But I’m glad I was able to down that quality time with my daughter, granddaughter n bestie n her daughter ❤. Ok Mrs. Denise, I’ve talked enough have a great rest of your day from Fresno California 😊

Great job!

❤ Our young home cooks need to know that life and family often throw our homemaking schedule off. It is Okay! The steps you gave are right on point. Thanks my friend for sharing .❤

This is great instruction. I can get overwhelmed and not know where to start first and can be all over the place when cleaning. This is so cut and dry. Thank you! So wonderful to have that special time with family. God bless!

Hey Denise! My whole house was a hot mess after Christmas cc& New Years so I can relate! Working on a whole reset throughout the month.

Thank you for sharing this kitchen cleaning tip btw, You weren't talking too much ... Enjoyed hearing the backstory!!

Wow, your hair looks so nice while you're cleaning the kitchen! I totally agree with putting on an apron to get the mindset for getting the job done, I've done that for years, I also use rubber gloves, my hands can't take the detergents like when I was younger. I'm going to look into those casserole/roasting pan cleaning pods! Bless you and your family in the coming year Denise, you are a blessing to us all!

Now and then, we all put the kitchen tasks on hold while people come first. Sometimes, I'm simply too tired to tackle it, and I simply tidy to the point of putting food away and piling dishes neatly in the sink, and take care of them in the morning. I'm a morning person, and late nights are difficult, but morning, I'm on it! Glad you had such an enjoyable Christmas with some of your sweet family. And Happy New Yearr!
