Straightening your kitchen cabinets and getting everything clean doesn't have to be a headache. It will only take a few hours and is not a hard task. Set aside a day when you can devote this time to getting it done right.
First of all, take care of all the normal cleaning routines, like getting the dishes into the dishwasher and putting away any clean ones. Then give the kitchen a good scrubbing. Grab some anti-bacterial cleaner and wash the counters, tables, cabinet faces and the walls. Take up the kitchen mats and shake them outside to remove dust and crumbs of food. The sweep and mop the floor.
Take the mats and shake them outside to remove crumbs and dust. Then wash them in the washer on a gentle cycle. Hang to dry. Hanging outside is best if possible; if not, over a bathroom shower rack will be fine.
Since the counters are clean now, you can safely take out glasses and mugs and put them on the countertop. Rearrange these by putting them in rows. Placing them upside down will keep dust out. If you decide to store them upside down, always make sure that they are completely dry before you put them away. If they are wet at all, moisture will get trapped and mold will form.
As for pots and pans: take them all out and clean those cabinets. Try to store these by stacking smaller ones into larger ones. Then place the lids nearby. The same can go for frying pans. The largest pan can go on the bottom and the others layered on top.
If possible, use a separate cabinet for baking pans and cake pans. Try to do as much stacking as possible here as well. The shapes will all be different so it won't be as easy as with the pans. But try different combinations until you are utilizing the space the best way.
Baking sheets, pizza pans and oven roasters should all fit in the drawer under the stove. It is really not a good idea to store pans in the oven. You never know when you or somebody else may forget the pans are in there and turn the oven on to preheat. It is better to store as much as possible under the oven or in cabinets.
Determine whether you are using the drawers as you should be. If you want to rearrange which drawers hold what, do that now. Spatulas and potholders are ideal in drawers closer to the stove. Larger drawers are good for gadgets, while a small one is good for silverware.
Once the cabinets are clean, keeping the kitchen clean and organized will be easier. Now you know where everything is. Make an effort to always put things back every time in the future. Then you won't have to do this task again! - 33383
