Spring Cleaning: 7 Surprising Cleaning Tips for Every Area of Your Kitchen

Spring isn’t just about blooming flowers—it’s about reclaiming your space. And what better place to start than the heart of your home? A sparkling kitchen brings clarity, calm, and creativity to your everyday routine. Whether you’re prepping or guests or craving a fresh start, these seven pro-level cleaning tips will help your kitchen—and your THOR appliances—shine.

Start with a Declutter
Before deep cleaning, clear the clutter. Empty drawers, sort pantry items, and donate unused kitchenware. A tidy space sets the tone for a thorough clean—and makes surfaces easier to access.

Refresh Your Appliances
Your appliances do the heavy lifting—give them the care they deserve. Descale your dishwasher, wipe down the microwave interior, and deep clean your oven. For THOR stainless steel and black stainless appliances, use a microfiber cloth and stainless-steel cleaner to preserve the sleek look.

THOR Tip: After running a self-cleaning cycle on your THOR wall oven, follow up with a gentle wipe to remove any residue.

Degrease the Range Hood and Filters
This one’s often forgotten. Remove the filters from your range hood and soak them in warm, soapy water—or run them through the dishwasher. Use a degreasing cleaner to wipe down the inside and outside surfaces.

Deep Clean the Refrigerator
Empty every shelf and drawer, and clean surfaces using a solution of baking soda and warm water. Toss expired condiments and forgotten leftovers. Don’t skip the rubber gaskets—wipe them clean to maintain a strong seal.

THOR Tip: Adjustable shelving in THOR refrigerators makes deep cleaning easier. Remove bins and drawers completely to access hidden messes

Shine Up the Details
Polish hardware, wipe backsplash tiles, and clean glass cabinet fronts or open shelves. These finishing touches elevate your kitchen and highlight the details of your design.
