1. Separate Place for Regular Used Items

In every kitchen, there is always a set of regularly used items like utensils, appliances, and grocery items. Make sure that, there is a separate place for those items in your kitchen cabinets. After every use of those items, place them back in the same place. If we create a place for every kitchen needs then there will be no more messy kitchen.

2. Follow a Night Routine Every Day

At the end of the day, once the work is done make sure that all the used items are back in their place and nothing should sit on the countertop. Always wipe the countertop using any kind of disinfectant and keep your kitchen clean and fresh for the next day. Most importantly, always double-check the kitchen before going to bed. This night routine helps you to keep your kitchen clean, neat, and bad odor-free.

3. Avoid Placing Appliances on the Kitchen-Counter

It is very tough to organize and maintain the kitchen clutter-free especially finding a place for every kitchen item. Allocate a proper place for cookware, a drawer for cutlery stuff, cabinets for containers, plates, appliances, and groceries.

4. Keep Kitchen Tools Together

In every kitchen, there are small kitchen tools like lemon squeezer, potato masher, peeler, and many others. By keeping all kitchen tools together in a tray or a basket - the kitchen looks less cluttered and most importantly you can access them easily for regular use.

5. Put Your Dishes Away

Once you are done with cooking, immediately wash all the vessels and keep them out for drying. After drying, place all the items in the same place. This routine gives you some free space near the sink area and this routine will be very useful for those who do not have a dishwasher. This routine will be very useful to maintain a clean and clutter-free kitchen.

6. Minimize the Decor

Usually, decoration brings life to the home. In the kitchen, too much decoration gives a little clumsy look. So, kitchen decor should be minimal and simple. Instead of decoration, you can give attention to your kitchen wall painting and use kitchen-themed rugs. This kind of decoration gives a spacious look to the kitchen.

Bottom Line

Am sure these simple tips and routines will help you to maintain your kitchen clean and clutter-free. A clean and clutter-free kitchen is not a tough job or a dream anymore. Always follow a set of routines according to your kitchen set up to maintain it.
