Clean the kitchen

The next occasional task on my son's weekly planner is 'clean the kitchen'.  Before living on his own he helped with a bit of light housework at home but always under my direction.  He was keen to learn how to keep his new home clean and tidy himself.  He struggled to know where to start with cleaning tasks so I helped him by making a prompt list and a an approximate time to do the cleaning tasks.  

See the list of kitchen cleaning tasks above. I suggested he put aside 45 minutes for cleaning his kitchen.  He told me that he was able to stick to that time and it was a useful guide.  He cleans his dishes every day but the task of cleaning the kitchen is on his planner once a week.

I will come back to the topic of cleaning as that is a whole other post of its own.  Does this look similar to your kitchen cleaning tasks or routine?  Please share your what you would add or other ideas in the comments below.
