Start your new life with a nice home, part 2!

Today, I decided to deep clean my home myself since I was teaching you guys how to. I want to do it WITH you so we're all on the same page. :)
I think you should always start with your kitchen when cleaning your house. It's just much much nicer to walk in to the kitchen when you cook when it looks and smells amazing. Then all you have to worry about are your dishes! Some people might be inclined to start on their living room, which is perfect if you have guests often, but my family really doesn't. My next post will be about the living room, because that's where I clean next.
A little bit of background on my home life: My husband and I are newlyweds, and in order to save money to have the house of our dreams, we moved from Florida (where I am from) to England (where he is from) to live with the in-laws. Because I can't work in this country, I am just a tourist, I help out by doing all of the household duties. There are six people in this house: My husband and I, his two brothers (aged 19 and 21), and my husband's parents. You can imagine how messy and cluttered it gets! I decided to help people using the knowledge I acquired about how to do this without going crazy!
The kitchen could be my worst nightmare. It gets hard to keep up with, not only because 1/2 of us don't eat meat (which causes chaos in the kitchen), but because here in England, it is very common to have the washing machine right next to the sink. So the kitchen gets messier faster than any room in our house.
Remember my last post about supplies? You need even LESS supplies to clean the kitchen.! Besides a mop and broom, you only need the following:

A few towels, dish soap, a couple sponges (one for cleaning up counter tops, tiles, oven, etc. and one solely for dish washing.), a feather duster, a pair of rubber gloves, and some ammonia-free window cleaner or white vinegar. For stuck-on stains, you can use baking soda and water mixed to a paste, but it's not completely necessary, sometimes the window cleaner will work!

I took some photos before cleaning the entire kitchen top to bottom. It may take you more than one day to do this (especially if you have a job, kids, or hobbies!), as it did for me. I will post the after photos, as well as what I did to clean them.

These are all the things I have to sort out. Now, it may look overwhelming, but as I said, don't stress about it if it's not done in one day! Work from top to bottom, right to left, and it'll go by faster than you think. For the first bit, just getting it decently clean and organized, go through cupboards and throw away anything that is out of date, donate nonperishable food you're not going to eat (that isn't out of date, obviously) to a homeless shelter, clean and sanitize counters, wash windows, and clear your sink of EVERYTHING. Clearing your sink (and cleaning it!) discourages you from throwing things in it. It's a focal point of your kitchen, it'll make you feel better once it's all done. I'll go in to more details later!
