<human>:  What is the best way to clean my kitchen countertops?
<bot>: The best way to clean kitchen countertops is to start by wiping down the surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge and some mild dish soap or all-purpose cleaner. Once the surface has been cleaned, it can be rinsed with clean water and then dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. For tougher stains, a non-abrasive cleaner like baking soda can be used, mixed with water and applied directly to the stain. Finally, a light coating of cooking oil or mineral oil can be applied to help keep the surface looking clean and new.
