Because I have so many recipes on my site, my kitchen really gets a work out. Some days I cook and bake five or more recipes and that can really take a toll on my cook top and sink.

Recently, I’ve been testing recipes for an upcoming bacon series (yes, BACON!) and you know what kind of mess that can make.

As a busy mom, it’s hard to find the time to take my kitchen apart and clean it from top to bottom. This is where the 15 Minute Renovation comes in.

It’s amazing what a quick 15 minute renovation can do to your home. With Mr. Clean products, you can give your home a quick face lift with very little effort.

Armed with my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and Mr. Clean Concentrated Multi-Surface Cleaner, I set my timer for 15 minutes and started tackling my cook top and sink.

First, I filled the sink with hot water and added some Mr. Clean Concentrated Multi-Surface Cleaner. I let that sit for a bit while I attacked my greasy, bacon-laden cook top.

For the cook top, I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean up the splatters. It really worked wonders on the cook top grates, too. Cleaning the cook top took me about 10 minutes.

With that done, I moved over to the sink. I drained the sink and used my Magic Eraser to scrub the bottom, sides and top. I also tackled the drain and stopper – this area always gets particularly gross.

I gave everything a quick rinse just as my timer went off!

Not too shabby for 15 minutes, huh?! Who knew I could be so productive?!

Here are a few more 15 Minute Renovations to help spruce up your home and make it look new and fresh.
