Just cleaned out my 2 pantries

I remember the day/night we cleaned out the kitchen in March. I had already packed a lot during the previous year, but still, there was so much left to do, and now, I am still unpacking and moving things around to fit.

You have 2 pantries? I'm jealous. Just kiddin', good job!

I wish I had the motivation and the energy to clear out my kitchen.

First of all, I just woke up and am in the middle of my 1st cup of coffee so the eyes aren't quite focused yet. When I read your post, I though it said, 'Just cleaned out my 2 'panties.'

Since we are on the topic of cleaning, I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice. I just purchased a condo and want to have it cleaned and sterilized. I've called several companies and they clean but don't deep clean. They don't pull appliances from the wall and clean and scrub behind them. They will clean cabinets but not sterilize them. Since I am 68 and had a total knee replacement that never healed, I was hoping to get someone to do this but that doesn't seem possible so I will do it myself, little by little. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what cleaning products I can purchase that will accomplish my goals? I know there are oodles of products on the market but I want something that will really deep clean, especially the kitchen and bathroom. Any and all suggestions will be most appreciate. Thanks so much. docsgirl

Good for you! I know how good that feels.

I really need to do my one pantry. Maybe this weekend since Da (bad news) Bears have a bye week.

You gave away all your duplicate Lock & Locks????? That's one thing I'd NEVER do! You can't find them anymore! You only have one each? I can't even fathom that idea! Love ALL my L&L's!!

Did you call Service master? I am pretty certain they do deep cleaning. When we bought this house 4 years ago the builder left it very dirty - really bad - and we complained to them about wanting it spotless clean before we would sign the final papers - they sent a team from Service Master and they were here about 4 hours and did a fabulous job.

One of the up sides of being a snowbird is I have to totally empty the fridge and the pantry every 6 months. When we leave for Pa. anything that is in the pantry either hasd to go into a lock & lock or a ziplock bag to avoid getting ants while we are away. We also totally empty the fridge - clean it with bleach and leave it unplugged and open. We actually unplug all the appliances except the dishwasher in case of a bad storm here and power surges. Anyway, it is nice to come home to everything all clean and ready to be filled up and used.

I guess I am twisted today, I thought your post said you cleaned out "my 2 panties"!!!!
