Clutter in the kitchen is no fun. We use our kitchens daily, so keeping them tidy is a constant battle, and it\u2019s so easy to accumulate things you don\u2019t 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\u2019re here to help! Here are some tips for de-cluttering and organzing your kitchen:<\/p>\n

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

NEVER:<\/strong>\u00a0 Toss it in the trash, or pile it in the donation pile.<\/p>\n

WITHIN THE LAST YEAR:\u00a0<\/strong>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

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH:\u00a0<\/strong>Keep it, but find a place for it.<\/p>\n

YESTERDAY:\u00a0<\/strong>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

Next step, is to end the clutter\u2026<\/p>\n

SORT:<\/b>\u00a0Decide where the item goes \u2013 trash, donate pile, storage, or right back in the drawer or kitchen cabinet.<\/p>\n

TOSS:<\/strong>\u00a0Everything that\u2019s in the trash pile goes bye-bye! If it has no use, then you need to get rid of it<\/p>\n

ORGANIZE:\u00a0<\/strong>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

PUT AWAY:\u00a0<\/strong>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":"
