We use our kitchens daily, so keeping them tidy is a constant battle, and it&#8217;s so easy to accumulate things you don&#8217;t need. Sometimes you just have to get rid of some things to make your kitchen appear cleaner, and make it more efficient for you when prepping meals, serving them, and cleaning up afterwards. Have no fear, we&#8217;re here to help! Here are some tips for de-cluttering your kitchen:<\/p>\n<p>First you have to decide what to keep, sell or donate, store, or toss? You\u2019ll have to ask yourself \u2013 \u201cWhen have I last used it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cNever\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Toss it in the trash, or pile it in the donation pile.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cWithin the last year\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 Toss or store it, depending on what it is. If it\u2019s something you only use seasonally, then store it in a separate container and mark it (e.g. \u201cHoliday Cooking Tools.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cWithin the last month\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Keep it, but find a place for it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cYesterday\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 If you use these everyday, you\u2019ll need to put these clean and within reach so there always ready when you need them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sienaplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-05-at-10.16.03-AM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1879\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sienaplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-09-05-at-10.16.03-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-09-05 at 10.16.03 AM\" width=\"596\" height=\"441\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next step, is to end the clutter&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sort<\/strong> \u2013 Decide where the item goes \u2013 trash, donate pile, storage, or right back in the drawer or kitchen cabinet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toss<\/strong> \u2013 Everything that\u2019s in the trash pile goes bye-bye! If it has no use, then you need to get rid of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organize<\/strong> \u2013 Clean the spaces in your shelves, and fridge. Clear away dirt and crumbs. If items are dirty or dusty toss them in the dishwasher or hand clean so they can be returned to their proper place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Put Away<\/strong> \u2013 Put storage items away, donations go in donate pile, and everything else that\u2019s left should be organized so that it can be easily accessible. This might include reorganizing the dishes a little or your silverware so that the items you need most are in front or are at eye-level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clutter in the kitchen is no fun.
