Many families use this space for homework, gathering, crafting and more. Keeping this space clean and clutter-free can feel like a losing battle. With a little planning and some tricks and tips, you can keep your kitchen neat and tidy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Lets take a closer look at 5 simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/77fe644c572ff1ba8a08-aa3fcb8dba820dc6b4fabb3e45b3ad4d.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/images\/media\/123437\/article_380\/GettyImages-1207599882_cleaner%20kitchen.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">1<\/span>. <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Run Your Dishwasher at Night, Empty it in the Morning<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever fallen into the trap of leaving dirty dishes in your sink for far too long? An easy way to handle this problem is to create a schedule to empty and fill your dishwasher. Run your dishwasher every night when you go to bed. Empty it in the morning while you make coffee, tea or breakfast. Then you can fill it immediately throughout the day rather than letting dishes pile up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">2. Assemble Your Supplies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you begin to clean your kitchen, first get out all your supplies. This will save you time and also help you know where everything is. Have your surface cleaner, rags, sponges and whatever else you&#8217;ll need on the counter so you don&#8217;t have to dig under your sink to find what you need when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">3. Wipe Down Surfaces<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After every meal, wipe down the surfaces of your kitchen. It will be much easier to do each time throughout the day rather than to let things build up. Clean the counters and stove top immediately. You don&#8217;t have to do a deep clean for this step, just a simple wipe with soap and water is enough to cut down on the grease and grime, making it easier to do a full cleaning later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">4. Put Everything Away<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you used it, put it in the dishwasher. If you didn&#8217;t, put it back in the cupboard. Don&#8217;t let your kitchen counter or table become a catch-all for non-kitchen items either. It&#8217;s easy to dump mail on the table to deal with later, but any time you put something off, it becomes clutter and will be much harder to sort through in the future. Have a place for everything and put everything in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">5.<\/span> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Take Out the Trash<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait to take out the trash, either. Some people are willing to cram the trash can full to avoid taking it out, but that becomes a problem sooner rather than later. Instead, when you clean the kitchen after dinner, take the trash out right away. Not only will you avoid unpleasant smells but also you won&#8217;t attract bugs, which can become a menace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/HowardHanna.com\/camillus\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\">Call us today <\/a>to discuss the features you want in your dream kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your kitchen might not be used just for eating breakfast,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,976,6,8,645,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts-comments","category-life","category-real-estate","category-stuff","category-subscribers","category-technology"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Being BOB","author_link":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/all-posts-comments\/\" rel=\"category tag\">All Posts &amp; Comments<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/life\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Life<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Real Estate<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/stuff\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Stuff<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/subscribers\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Subscribers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/technology\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Technology<\/a>","tag_info":"Technology","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p822aG-FP","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
