Get countertop surfaces in a matte finish because the high gloss appearance will actually show dirt and grime faster.

Use lots of storage that is properly organized to keep appliances and food off the counters and in their correct spaces. When you have lots of work space to utilize that isn't cluttered you are a more efficient chef.

Vent your range hood outside so the grease and smoke doesn't fill up your kitchen. Grease that comes back into the room collects on every surface and leaves a breeding place for bacteria.

The backsplash of your countertops gets dirty for a number of reasons. If you have one that is easy to clean you'll be better off.

Your refrigerator should have glass shelves for easy cleaning and viewing of items inside. Regularly remove all fridge items to examine them for outdated materials, food that growing things, and wipe down the interior. Keep it fresh with a box of Arm and Hammer.

Undermount kitchen sinks allow you to scrape countertop debris directly into the sink without leaving crumbs stuck up next the side which can be unsanitary.
