House cleaning services offer you the facility to keep your house well maintained and organized. But for that you need to know in which way you should arrange the assets in your home.
Two main reasons to keep a clean pantry are money and stress. It seems as though the more food you accumulate,
the harder it can be to find what is needed to get dinner on the table. Likewise, food will often go bad after sitting unused for a long period of time, hence more money you’re spending at the grocery store. After all, having a well organized pantry is just part of good house cleaning. Regardless of whether you are a gourmet chef or a parent throwing together a meal on the go, making the kitchen an easier place to navigate just makes the work flow easier.
Below are ten useful tips for getting that old kitchen organized:
1. Remove all items from the kitchen, being sure to check expiration dates and outdated products. Set aside all items that are nearing an expiration date so that they may be used sooner than later.
2. Sort your foods into categories: Beverages, breakfast items, fruits, veggies, baking supplies, dinner items such as sauces and seasonings, snacks, condiments, and quick meal ideas like canned goods, pasta, and rice.
3. Clean the pantry itself with Windex and disinfectant.
4. Return your items to the clean kitchen separating by categories designated to shelf placement.
5. Reserve locations for opened and unopened packages of snacks.
6. Purchase a few tasteful containers with which to hold some of your things. One for pastas, another for beverages, and so on. This method allows you to better determine quantities of things prior to heading to the store.
7. Label the individual shelves so family members and friends are able to return them to their correct location.
8. Label baskets as well! This only helps the process of putting things away.
9. Add a dry erase board to the inside of the pantry door. In this way, you will be able to make notes when things need to be restocked or are running low.
10. Use the floor space to store larger packages such as pet food, cases of water or soda, or paper towels. You may even decide to add a wheeled pet food container that can roll in and out as needed. If so, be sure to choose a container with a tight lid so as to keep pests and pets out.
And there you have it! With an organized pantry, you will be able to dedicate even more time to family and other household activities, alleviate stress and even save a little coin as well!
