Haha, crumbs in the toaster tray? That's next-level picky. Reminds me of when my parents had their kitchen inspected after renovations—inspector actually pointed out dust on top of the fridge. Who even thinks to clean there? Now I'm paranoid about what else I've never noticed... maybe behind the dishwasher or under the sink cabinet. Good luck tomorrow though, sounds like you're way ahead compared to most of us!

Haha, you'd be surprised how often inspectors notice stuff like that... but honestly, don't stress too much. They're usually just ticking boxes. Sounds like you've already covered more than enough bases. You've got this!

Haha, inspectors seriously have a radar for the weirdest spots. But honestly, dust on top of the fridge is the least of your worries. If they're nitpicking that, you're probably in pretty good shape overall.
But real talk—if your kitchen's still a disaster and you're short on time, prioritize the big stuff first. Clear counters, empty sink, wipe down appliances. Inspectors tend to zero in on clutter and obvious grime way before they start climbing ladders to check fridge tops. Trust me, I've seen some kitchens that looked like a tornado hit them, and the inspector barely blinked because the surfaces were clean and clear.
Also, quick pro tip: lighting matters. Open up blinds or curtains, turn on all your lights—bright spaces naturally look cleaner and more inviting. It sounds silly, but it genuinely helps distract from minor imperfections.
And hey, if you have an extra five minutes (and you're feeling ambitious), grab a damp cloth and swipe over the top of the fridge anyway. It'll take you literally seconds, and you'll feel like a cleaning ninja afterward. Plus, you can smugly point it out if the inspector tries to get picky again.
Bottom line though: don't sweat it too much. Inspectors aren't expecting magazine-level perfection—they just want to see that you're maintaining things reasonably well. You've got this covered already, I'm sure.
Haha, gotta disagree a bit here—inspectors can be surprisingly picky about weird spots like fridge tops or even ceiling fan blades (ask me how I know...). Sure, clutter's the biggie, but inspectors see clutter all day long. It's those random, overlooked details that sometimes stick in their minds. Quick wipe-down won't hurt...and might save you from another awkward dust-shaming moment.
True, inspectors do have a knack for zeroing in on those obscure spots. I'd also suggest checking under appliances—crumbs and grime tend to gather there unnoticed. It's tedious, sure, but worth the extra few minutes to avoid any awkward surprises.
