I love to cook, so I want to keep my kitchen clean and neat as often as possible. But recently, I got busy with work and had no time to prepare a meal. After my deadlines, I decided to make delicious food for the week. That’s when I realized how messy my kitchen was. Everything was on the countertop, and I had little space to do meal prep. Good thing I saw these awesome tips by Joshua Becker on Youtube. Now, it looks refreshing, and all the items are in order. Read on or watch the video below to learn how to declutter your kitchen in 6 easy steps.
1. Relocate anything that doesn’t belong to your kitchen
Scan the kitchen and identify the things that don’t belong in the room.
2. Declutter the items in the kitchen
A great place to start decluttering your kitchen is by looking at duplicates. How many spatulas, coffee mugs, plastic cups, knives, pots, and plastic containers do you actually need? Identify your favorites, keep them and take everything else out of that space.
3. Physical boundaries
Notice the physical boundaries in your kitchen. Maybe there is enough space in your cabinet, but you just put too much stuff inside. Think how many pots, pans, utensils, or dishware you can only keep in your kitchen storage.
4. Identify homes for what’s left
Identify where you can put the remaining items. Where are you going to put the pots, pans, appliances, and junk utility drawer? Think about the organizers you need to make it a functioning space.
5. Clear countertops
If you do the hard work of getting rid of things you don’t need, you’ll find spaces for items other than those visible on the counter. When you do, your counters will feel more inviting, open, less distracted, and clutter-free.
6. Go through old food
If you have a pantry closet, go through it. Get rid of the expired food, and the food you’re not going to eat anymore.
