The kitchen is one of the most heavily used areas in the home, and keeping it clean involves organizing multiple areas. So, it goes without saying that any thorough cleaning of your kitchen must include organizing your pantry.  Â
Finding top-notch house cleaning services in Loveland Colorado isn’t always easy, especially if you are busy and pressed for time. Keeping a consistent cleaning schedule will go a long way in keeping your home clean, even if you regularly use professional cleaning services.Â
Keep reading to learn more about organizing your kitchen pantry and keeping your kitchen cleaner for longer.Â
How do I declutter my pantry?
Similar to cleaning your kitchen cabinets, decluttering your kitchen pantry is your first step towards a clean and organized space. You can use some of our natural cleaning tips to help safely clean this area of the home that houses so much food for your family. Â
To start decluttering your pantry, you can start with the following:
- Take everything out of the pantry to see exactly what you have
- Go through all the food in your pantry and throw out anything that has expired or gone badÂ
- Look for extra dishes and storage containers that should be discarded because they never get used
- Organize and systemize everything that you are going to keep Â
- Use storage containers or baskets to keep the pantry clean and orderly
- Consider storing your spices in your pantry for spice safety and longevity
- Thoroughly clean out the pantry shelves (preferably using a homemade natural all purpose cleaner) before putting anything back in it
How often should I clean my pantry?
Like with anything cleaning related, consistency is key to maintaining a clean space. That being said, it is unrealistic to take everything out of the pantry every week. Depending on how large your family is, and how much is stored in the pantry, it would be ideal to take inventory of the pantry on a monthly basis to keep from storing food that is no longer edible.Â
Additionally, the more organized the pantry is, the cleaner it can be kept. If you use baskets for holding things, you can easily move them to clean the shelf underneath. When the pantry is filled with loose items, they are more likely to spill, and it will take more effort to get everything moved out of the way to clean underneath.Â
Other tips to help organization
Depending on the layout of your pantry, you may be able to utilize vertical storage to help decrease clutter and increase organization. You may be able to hang baskets or other flexible shelving options from the door. Not only will this help with organization, but there will be less things taking up space on your shelves, keeping things cleaner.Â
Another tip to remember is to try not to stack things in the pantry. Not only will this lead to more clutter, it will make finding and getting things out that much harder. It also leads to the potential for more spillage, making the need to clean the area more often. Â
