Cleaning the kitchen is so much more than just loading the dishwasher and wrapping up leftovers. It's the one room that's constantly in use, and full of specialty items to clean. But if you've been putting off deep-cleaning, now's a great time to start. With our roundup of simple cleaning hacks, your kitchen is going to be the cleanest on the block.

The citric acid in the unsweetened packet deep cleans the dishwasher, leaving it sparkling, and ready to tackle whatever dirty dishes you load next.
