Why don't some ppl pick up after themselves?not doing that once in a while is understandable. but Every-Blooming-Day?? after brekkie there will be 1/2 a banana or half a mango('tis in season..YEY!!!) on the counter...then do they consume it during the day..Oh NOOO...it just sits there. why don't I clean it u ask? well because I am so tired of doing so and of telling that particular person!!! so it just sits there. then the next morning..another half a fruit grins at me from atop the counter. then there the issues of unwashed cups/plates dirty spoons(again on counter!). believe me it is not a welcoming sight(or site 4 that matter). and so much for the kitchen that was clean and the counter that was mess-less. GRRRR.

any idea as how to bring about lasting clean kitchen? (oh BTW..the person responsible for the mess is a 36 year old!)
