Like most Magnolia residents, you probably spend a lot of time in your kitchen. That could make keeping your kitchen clean a challenging task. Cooking for family and friends is best done in a clean kitchen. But the majority of us do not have the luxury of time to deep-clean the kitchen every day. Now, you no longer need to spend hours each day keeping your kitchen clean and organized. These few tips from organizing experts will help you set up a kitchen routine that will keep your things clean all day long.
- Put Away the Clean Dishes First
If you are always busy, chances are that you let the dishes on your drying rack pile up really high before you put them away. To keep your kitchen clean, start by putting away all hand-washed dishes before you start on the dirty ones. You can do this either as part of your meal preparation routine or right after dinner.
- Run the Dishwasher Every Day
As you put away your clean dishes, empty your dishwasher, too. Make this step part of your routine by running your dishwasher every day instead of just when it gets full. Running the dishwasher at the same time every day makes sure that it is ready for the day’s dishes. You can do this after dinner or after cleaning up the breakfast dishes.
- Load the Dishwasher as You Go
To ensure your kitchen is clean all day, put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher immediately. A lot of people leave a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and just clean all of them at the end of the day. You can save time and keep your sink clean by just cleaning up after every meal.
- Keep Dishes Out of the Sink
Another strategy for keeping dirty dishes from stacking up in your sink is to use a plastic tub to collect them instead. Put your dirty plates and utensils in this “bus bin” just like they do in restaurants. This bin can be put to the side until it’s time to load the dishes into the dishwasher. With this tip, you can keep your sink empty and your kitchen clean all day.
- Tackle Pots and Pans First
After you cook, most people would just set aside the dirty pots and pans for cleaning later. Try this approach, instead, to keep your kitchen clean. Wash the pots and pans right after using them. This keeps your kitchen fresh and clean before the dinner dishes start coming in.
When you change your strategy and routine, you can have a kitchen that is clean the whole day. Do you want more tips on keeping a clean and organized house? Visit Real Property Management Republic’s blog or contact us online today!
