Our kitchens are one of our most often-used work spots. Yet this also an area of the home that we want to look neat and tidy all the time. Here are some tips to help you keep your kitchen looking great.
- Use containers for everything. Keep items like tea bags, coffee pods and sugar in pretty containers rather than in the original packaging. This allows you to leave often-used items out on the counter while still maintaining a tidy look.
- Organize your kitchen into workstations with all the necessary tools at hand. A beverage station can hold your coffee pot, cups, coffee, tea and sugar. A cooking station at your stove should contain pots and pans, hot pads, a splatter screen and utensils. This organization helps you to save time when you’re cooking and keep the kitchen looking neater.
- Keep cleaning supplies close at hand. Keeping your kitchen clean requires little cleanups throughout the day. You’ll be more apt to perform these cleanups if you make it easy to get to your supplies. Keep the best kitchen degreaser available near your stove, so it’s easy to wipe off those grease splatters right away, for example.
- Clean out the pantry and refrigerator regularly. It’s easy to get busy and miss the rotting food in your refrigerator or the six-week-old loaf of bread in the pantry. But, old rotting food makes your kitchen look cluttered, and poses a health hazard. Set aside time each week to clean out both areas to keep your kitchen safer and clutter free. After cleaning out the refrigerator, clean the shelves with the best kitchen degreaser to prevent dirt and odor.
These steps are simple, but can make a big difference in the cleanliness of your kitchen.
