Today is Day 2 of the Kitchen Cabinets - were you able to wipe down the fronts of them yesterday? Seeing as how we're trying to keep this down to 'a little bit' of deep cleaning, I'm going to suggest that you pick one or two cabinets or drawers to declutter. By all means, if you have the extra time and are motivated to, clean more than one or two.
I chose the two drawers in my kitchen island....
(yes, they are semi-organized, but the drawers need to be wiped out)
empty
clean - I sprayed with Basic H2 and wiped it clean
put it all back in categories - this is the baking drawer
this is the cooking drawer
Oh, did you see the labels on there? Yeah I did that too - I got a little carried away.
(I like clear labels in my Dymo - that way I can place them on anything and all you see are the letters.)
Here are the categories I used:
Baking Drawer
Baking Drawer
measuring spoons, scoops, grate + press
measuring cups, miscellaneous
Cooking Drawer
knives, openers
cutters, bottle stoppers, miscellaneous
See you tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!
I'm at The Idea Room today sharing an Organizational Tip - I'd love for you to stop by!
Thank you for inspiring me. I began a weekly cleaning and laundry list. Even though I have not stuck to it 100% it has still helped me to navigate through cleaning and reduce stress in what to do.
ReplyDeletelove the sticky labels! i need that so my stuff gets in the right place when DH decides to empty the dishwasher!
ReplyDeleteKitchen cabinets-Check! :) So much better all cleaned out and organized!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!! I just did this about a year ago (kitchen cabinets), but a few drawers are starting to look messy again...uh oh!
ReplyDeletewhat I don't get: why, if we always put things away in the drawer that are clean, do CRUMBS get in there? how does that happen, lol?
I need some of those labels too, they would do wonders for my kitchen drawers! supersara85@hotmail.com
