No time to clean your kitchen? No problem!
We all lead busy lives, so we don’t always have time to clean and tidy our kitchens. If only it could be done in just a couple of minutes; wouldn’t that be perfect? Well, it can be done! Follow these tips if you don’t have a lot of time on a daily basis, but do want a clean kitchen!
These tricks will help you to keep your kitchen nice and tidy.
10. Install adhesive hooks
Adhesive hooks are your best friends: you can stick them wherever you want and you don’t need to drill into a wall for it. Stick a few hooks onto a kitchen cabinet or on the wall. These hooks are ideal for hanging kitchen equipment, oven mitts or towels. Your kitchen will immediately look tidier.
9. Clear out your fridge
Take a few minutes to clean up your fridge. Throw out everything that’s passed its expiration date or that has been open for a long time. Quickly wipe your fridge with a cloth. It’ll look nice and neat again.
8. Clean up your drawer
Everyone has one of these: a gadget drawer that’s just one big mess of small gadgets, things you needed to put away quickly and things you won’t ever need again in your life. Take a moment to tidy it and throw away everything you won’t use again. Want to make it even tidier? Use small containers within the drawer to store things in and make sure it stays tidy.
7. Set up a meal plan
Think of what you want to eat this week and buy the ingredients all in one go. That way, you know exactly what you’re doing when you get into the kitchen to cook. We can guarantee you this will mean less of a mess when you’re done.
6. Plastic bags
It’s a staple eyesore in a lot of households: what seems like about a hundred plastic bags in the kitchen. You save them because you figure you can use them again and it isn’t very eco-friendly to throw them out right away, and before you know it you’ve got a ton of them. Make sure you have a couple of plastic bags left to use, but throw out the rest of them. Promise yourself you will always take a plastic bag with you and never buy a new one again!
5. Clear out your appliances
Many kitchens have a couple of appliances that are either used very often or hardly ever. Give away all of the appliances you never use or find a good place to store them, out of sight.
4. Tupperware
You’ve got about 30 plastic containers to store leftovers in, but you only ever use the same five or so. Sound familiar? They’re an eyesore every time you open the kitchen cabinet and they take up so much space! Fix this problem by simply throwing out the containers you no longer use. Or maybe someone else would like to take them off your hands.
3. Check your spice rack
Spices don’t keep forever: at some point, they expire. So, check what spices you have in your kitchen cupboard or spice rack and throw out the spices that have expired. Tidy the rack while you’re at it; actually add that salt to your salt shaker instead of leaving it in the bag.
2. Throw out food
It’s not just your fridge and spice rack that could do with a bit of tidying: the pantry needs a good clear out every now and then as well. Check all of the pots and cans for their expiration date and throw out what’s passed said date. The same goes for small amounts of pasta or rice that are left over and you won’t be eating anymore anyway.
1. The final touch
Take a few minutes to tidy your counters. Clear away all of the small things on there, like elastic bands, caps and coupons. Clear them away properly (don’t just throw them in a drawer) and you’ll see your kitchen looks a lot tidier already. Remember to only leave those things on the counter that you actually use on a regular basis.
