We are in the home stretch of our challenge. Today we are going to look at our storage and cleaning supplies. Storage in this case refers to food storage like Tupperware, glass storage (my preferred), lunchboxes, etc.
Step1: Pull out everything- all storage, cleaning supplies.
Step 2: evaluate and restock.
Storage:
1. Get rid of any mismatched sets, do they have a lid, is all you have is the lid? Donate or throw away.
2. Get rid of anything broken or stained.
3.Donate anything not used in months or that you don't like.
4. Lunchboxes- do you still need one? Maybe you used to go to the office but now work from home? Do your kids still use lunchboxes? If no longer needed, then donate. If damaged, then throw away and replace.
Cleaning Supplies:
1. Get rid of any expired cleaning products.
2. Throw away any empty or unused products (including products you did not like).
3. Go through your towels, rags, sponges, etc. Get rid of anything not used or damaged.
4. Go through other essentials like Ziploc bags, foil, parchment, cling wrap, paper towels, trash bags, etc. These are pretty essential but just look through make sure you don't have an empty box or are running low on anything.
Now, that we are done with our clean out, how do you feel? I hope you feel refreshed and have found some additional space in your kitchen. The next step will be organization. Maybe you have a system that works for you but coming soon we will talk a bit about organization. How do we maximize the space we have and how do we make our space work for us?
Sneak peak: the March giveaway will be about organization and will include a copy of the 1st Home Edit book. They have great organization tips and ideas. In February, the blog will focus some on organization.
