How To Organize Your Kitchen

"Keep the kitchen clean."

Why? It must be kept clean because you make food in the kitchen, and that food will be taken for nourishment. Being clean and getting the right foods is cheaper than being confined in a hospital.

The kitchen has to be comfortable as the living room because everyone gathers together in the kitchen, as in the dining room.

There must be shelves and a cupboard, among others. If the kitchen is small, then get a small kitchen organizer or clean side tables.

Check these organizing and kitchen tips:

Rags, mats, and/or carpets must be kept dry. When the rag is dirty, wash it immediately.
Polish or scrub your kitchen as you do your living room.
The sink must be washed every time it is used.
Sponges for glasses and plates must be replaced often.
Gas must be turned off, immediately after use.
Pots and pans must be scrubbed to remove blackness.
Try to fill the basic kitchen needs like sugar, salt, coffee, tea, chocolate, milk or creamer, and the most important, mineral water.
Group your condiments and some ingredients, as to use and safely. Put labels on jars if refilled.
Freeze the foods that are needed to be frozen.
Be sure the table cover and mats are fresh and not stinky.
Cupboards and/or cabinets must be thoroughly dusted, as scheduled.
Stocks must be checked for expiry dates.
Budget for you rice, bread or noodles; they're necessary.
Spray insecticide, at least one a week or one every 2-3 weeks. Take the water-based kind. Use them when all foods are inside the refrigerator and/or freezer.
Garbage must be tidied and taken out everyday.
Clean the kitchen surroundings every time you cook, like sweeping and scrubbing the floor. If there's carpet, vacuum it.
Pick up food crumbs; they're inviting to roaches, ants, and other insects.
Be sure the chairs are strong, you might fall.
Knives, scissors, matches and candles must always be returned in its proper place.
Check the electricity, and turn off or unplug if appliances are not in use.
Let dry towels and sponges after use.
Empty bottles and cans are supposed to be away from the kitchen perimeters.
Get tight containers for other food storage, but stack and arrange them orderly.

Keep the kitchen safe, clean, comfortable and fragrant no matter how big or small it is. Remember meals are sacred and the foods we eat are a grace from God.

Organizing a kitchen can be practiced. Just stick to the basics. A well-equipped center and simplification of work and labor will lead to kitchen efficiency and easy handling of the kitchen and/or kitchen grooming habits.

Keep your surroundings clean. Keep your kitchen clean and be healthy!
