pocket. Put a whisk broom in your other back pocket. Use it to
brush dirt out of vents, corners, and away from walls and
appliances that the vacuum doesn't reach. Estimate the number
of cleaning cloths you'll need and transfer them from the tray to
your apron. At first, just guess by grabbing eight to ten cloths; as
time goes on, you'll know how many you need. Finally check the
illustration of you and your fully loaded apron. You're ready to
move on.

Setting Up
Put any trash containers just outside
the door or in the doorway, making
sure they are out of the way (as
much as possible) of the team
member who will empty it. (Follow
these directions even if you're
working alone, since it is work you
will do later and you want these
items out of your way now.) Also,
lay any throw rugs outside the door
flat on the floor or carpet. That's flat: F-L-A-T. No corners tucked
underneath. No rumpled mess. You're expecting the person
vacuuming to do the rug, so don’t slow him down with a
rumpled rug. Similarly, the person collecting the trash is not
going to take the time to rummage around the kitchen on your
behalf. That's your job as the Kitchen Person. If you save
someone else on the team a step, you are saving yourself a step.

Cupboards, Counters and Fingerprints
You are now going to start cleaning your way around our
sample kitchen, moving to the right, working from high to low and
from back to front as you go. Get in the habit of looking all the
way to the ceiling each time you look up to check for cobwebs.
Above the counter are cupboards, and since they are the highest,
start with them. Usually all you have to clean are the
fingerprints near the handles. Fingerprints need Red Juice, so
grab your spray bottle from your apron loop and spray the
prints lightly. Replace the spray bottle on your apron loop as
you wipe the area dry with your other hand.
