Kitchens are the place of clutter, which can frustrate you while preparing meals. Neither you nor any one of your family members will love cooking meals in the cluttered home pantry. It is the place that is hard to keep neat and clean all the time. However, you can reduce the cluttering in your kitchen.
Here are some ways to de-clutter your kitchen:
Utilize the hidden storage space
In your home pantry, you have numerous small appliances such as a toaster and a coffee maker. These are the appliances you use frequently. So, you should store these small appliances in the hidden area of your home pantry from where you can easily take them out in the need.
Organize knife and spoon blocks
To de-clutter your home pantry, you should keep the counter space free from knives and spoons. Use a cabinet part or drawer organizer to keep your knives and spoons organized in a drawer. You can use a magnetic wall strip to hang knives and other cutting tools to make your counter top clutter-free.
Buy a few boxes for tea or coffee pouches
Tea or coffee pouches are the items that you need frequently if you love taking tea/coffee more than two times a day. After preparing tea or coffee, you leave their pouches or containers lying on the shelves or counter of your home pantry. You should have a bamboo tea box with several sections to keep your coffee/tea pouches organized.
Use the ceiling and walls
You can keep fruits and vegetables in hanging baskets if your kitchen layout allows. With this, you can avoid placing vegetable/fruit bawls on the kitchen counter top. You can install a suction cup holder close to your gas/electric stove. This holder will be an excellent place to put a cookbook or tablet in the home pantry for easy access while cooking meals.
Ensure to have a proper dustbin
Most of kitchen clutters are the outcomes from the lack of proper space to place waste items at the moment. By installing a dustbin close to the counter top, you can easily put compost, garbage, or left parts of vegetables in the same instead of leaving them lying on the counter of the floor of your home pantry.
Spend 5-10 minutes after each cooking
Keep in mind clutter draws clutters and a cleaner kitchen looks attractive. You can keep your home pantry clean most of the time by spending 5-10 minutes after every cooking. Whether you have prepared your breakfast/lunch/dinner or make tea/coffee, you should spend a few minutes in placing things in the place from you took them out for their use. By doing this, you can get what (cleanness) you want at most of the time in your kitchen.
Clean before you start preparing meals
Cleaning the counter space before you start cooking a dish can give a new and fresh look to your kitchen. You will love staying and cooking in your home pantry. For this, you need to remove the things from the counter you are not going to use now and clean previously used utensils for maintain the cleanness.
Ensure everything is at its place
To keep your home pantry free from clutter, you have to change your habit of leaving things lying here and there in your kitchen. Whether it is a lunchbox, purse, key, or something else, place it at its place. Place different containers of spices at their places back after their use in cooking meals. Avoid leaving unnecessary things in your home pantry if you are serious about having a clutter free kitchen.
Reduce the items in your home pantry
It is not necessary that the items you have in your kitchen are useful for you. Some of them may be useless or out of order. Take out some hours on a day to what is usable and what is not usable. Place the unusable items apart and hand over to garbage collectors to reduce the items in your house pantry.
Conclusion
A clutter free kitchen has a unique sense, apart from looking clean, attractive and being smell free. For this, you can organize every item in your home pantry by spending a few minutes after each cooking and removing useless things. Your proper care and management will be helpful for you in having a clean kitchen.
