Is your kitchen clean and tidy before you go to bed?

[Fireworkstonight]

My kitchen is a disaster zone but I will tidy it up and load the dishwasher before bed tonight. I could leave it till the morning but I wouldn’t feel right. Are you the same?!

Nope. If there’s a few dirties in the sink but the dishwasher is on I’m completely relaxed about that. Dishwasher will be emptied first thing and the residual bits slung into it.

Yes! Every night unless I’m extremely tired or sick. I hate walking into a messy room.

Dishes clean and surfaces wiped and usually tidied. I don’t feel compelled to sweep the floor every day.

Always. I couldn’t stand waking up to a messy kitchen. You never know how your morning will go so I think it’s best to leave as little as possible to do the next day so I can at least have my coffee first in peace.

Yes. Always.

Yes, there's nothing worse than getting up in the morning to an untidy kitchen.

Probably 90% of the time. Sometimes I leave baking dishes or pans to soak overnight, and I don't worry about the odd mug or spoon.

Yep, we tidy and clean our kitchen every night! Mostly because we’ve only recently had it done and we are very paranoid about staining the white quartz countertops

I’m quite a tidy cook so I do most of the cleaning up as I go along, though.

I am that annoying person who tidies as I go. There's never any dishes lying waiting to go on the dishwasher. I usually spend 15 mins after tea cleaning up so by the kids bedtime, there's nothing left. I've also got a robot hoover/mop which is a godsend

Yes. However I'm not fussed if our mugs from the evenings cuppa are in the sink. Years ago I wouldn't go to bed with anything in the entire house out of place or a tea spoon the sink.
I would Mop floors before bed every night Dust all skirting and picture rails. :/

Yes always tidy before bed. I hate cooking smells so I don’t want anything lingering, I’d like it all as clean and fresh as possible!

Usually, yes. DS sorts the dishwasher and if he hasn't done it for any reason, the stuff to go in is stacked neatly on the side.

Yeah. It's a tiny kitchen so it gets cluttered really quickly, and I have to make 5 lunchboxes and everyone's breakfast in there in the morning, so it's a ball ache if I have to clear the sides first. I've learned to do future me a favour by just getting it over with at night.

Yes all the downstairs rooms are cleaned and tidied before bed (I don't want any potential night time burglars thinking somebody beat them to it)

Oh I am a messy cook! I can’t tidy as I go along. Also I don’t do the floor but I put the dishes in the dishwasher, wipe the surfaces, throw the rubbish in the bin and put any food lying around in the fridge.

Yes, spotless. There’s nothing worse than coming downstairs and it’s a tip.

Yes unless I’ve had people over for dinner and they’ve left late or slept over, only then will I leave it until the next morning.

If the dishwasher is full but there’s pans left over, I leave them out and sort in the morning. But always as much as possible in the dishwasher and switched on if necessary

Mostly not, then again I'm an exhausted sole earner / lone parent without any support so I give myself a bit of a break. It's clean intermittently. That's good enough for me.

Always.

I hate coming down in the morning to mess to do.

Yes! I tidy as I go and I keep it spotless after every meal and every day. I find it soothing and I like to live in calm

Always! I call it my closing shift!

Can't go to bed unless it's all sorted, feels so peaceful knowing it's done.

Yes, I am the same! It doesn't set me up right for the day if I walk in to get breakfast first thing and it's a total mess, not a clean bowl / spoon / surface etc.

Clean and tidy kitchen (and other rooms for that matter), calm stress-free start to the day.

Yes always

Pans washed in sink. Everything else in the dishwasher.

I used to lay up on for breakfast when the children were at home.
