Order in kitchen cabinets pleases the housewife's eye and reduces the time spent searching for the necessary item. General cleaning of the kitchen takes up a whole day. It makes more sense to constantly maintain cleanliness without spending a lot of time on it.
Simple steps will help you restore order and maintain it.
Remove everything unnecessary
Inspect the contents of the cabinets critically. When was the last time you used a waffle iron or coffee set? Do you really need that many plates and cups every day? If you take something out once a year, it's best to put it in the pantry. This will free up space for the things you need.
Get rid of decorative figurines and other accessories. They collect grease and dust, spoil the appearance of the kitchen, and are very difficult to clean.
The less unnecessary clutter there is in the kitchen and cabinets, the easier it will be to maintain order.
Sort the remaining items
When arranging things in closets, follow simple rules:
- the more often a thing is used, the closer it is;
- the heavier the device, the lower it is located;
- store similar items together;
- The longer the shelf life of the product, the further it can be placed.
Organize several storage areas: tableware, cooking, household appliances, groceries.
This way you won’t need to move the entire contents of the cabinet in search of the right pan. And spices will always be at hand.
Use additional storage systems
A small modification to the standard cabinet shelves turns it into a thoughtful storage system.Hanging shelves create additional surfaces for plates. Organizers sort cutlery and dishes.
Replace stacked storage with row storage. This will make it easier to get what you need and put it back in place.
Replace bags of spices and cereals with containers
Using bags is a recipe for chaos. Something spills out of them, it is impossible to store them in an organized manner. Products in unsealed packaging quickly absorb odors and moisture and lose their taste.
Give preference to rectangular containers. They make the most of space. Clear jars make it easy to find the ingredient you need.
The larger the container, the further to the wall it can be placed. With such a system, all products will be visible.
Eliminate “troubles” immediately
Try to immediately wipe up spills and spills. It will take seconds, but will save minutes during spring cleaning.
Crumbs will not spread throughout the apartment, the sticky spot will not dry out. This means you can clean up much faster.
Do a monthly deep cleaning
Go through your kitchen cabinets once a month. Get rid of chipped dishes. Throw away expired food. This way you will not only maintain cleanliness, but also protect your health.
During such an inspection, wipe all shelves with a damp cloth. Remove crumbs from corners. Wash cabinet doors to remove grease and dust.
These simple tips will make it easy to keep your kitchen cabinets organized.
