Okay, I do this every night before I can go to bed (this is what my mother taught me):
1. Clean (wipe down) the stove, including removing the burner rings and washing those and around the rings.
2. The fan hood and backsplash.
3. The oven door glass--inside and out.
4. After doing the dishes, clean the sink with Comet (always Comet). Even with a DW, there are still dishes I do by hand that need to be put away before I can go to bed.
5. Change the dish towel for a clean one.
6. Change the hand towel (no wonder I'm always doing laundry).
7. Make sure the sink is rinsed well--refresh the dishcloths by pouring bleach in the sink and then floating the dish cloths overnight.
8. Sweep the floor.
9. Mop the floor.
10. Turn off the light and declare the kitchen closed for the night.
Besides all of the above, I now clean the inside and outside of the microwave (didn't have one of those when I was growing up until I was in my teens).
Run the dishwasher but first put the sink strainers and dish cloths in it--I skip the bleach routine every other night.
Wipe down the fridge.
Put away all appliances/pans/other stuff from the basement.
Bleach cutting boards.
Declare the kitchen closed for the night. Oh--my mom did that too.
