Cleanliness and order are therefore essential, but unfortunately, especially the latter often does not last long.

But with our tips, that’s over! Because we show you how you can really create long-term order and overview when to clean kitchen.
Kitchen Cleaning made easy with our tips
TIP 1: CREATE A PLAN AND BUY EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ADVANCE
Before you start to clean kitchen, you should systematically go through all the cabinets and think specifically about what you can improve where. For example, how can you get a better handle on the chaos in the spice cabinet or in the drawer with the Tupperware? Or what’s the best and tidiest way to store supplies? If you plan beforehand how you want to furnish your kitchen, what you want to change and what you need for it, you will save time when Cleaning up the kitchen yourself and you can order one or two useful things on the Internet in advance. Then, when everything is there, you can get started right away and spruce up your kitchen.
TIP 2: START YOUR KITCHEN CLEAN-UP BY CLEARING OUT AND CLEANING EVERYTHING
To finally get your kitchen in order, empty out all the shelves, cabinets and trays. Avoid just putting things aside unsorted, but organize everything by category so it’s easier to put everything back in the right place later. As is often the case when Cleaning up the kitchen, you will sometimes find forgotten and expired food or household appliances that don’t really work anymore. Get rid of them, minimalism is the order of the day! The empty cupboards and shelves can now be quickly and easily freed from all crumbs. A dirt eraser can also be used to easily remove stains from the cabinets.
TIP 3: GET UNIFORM STORAGE BINS FOR A NEAT OVERALL LOOK
Storage cabinets often look particularly messy. Usually the reason is the use of very different containers, cans and pots(bread pots). So not only the external appearance suffers, but also the overview in the cabinets. Our tip is: Order a series of storage containers in a uniform design before Cleaning up and remodeling the kitchen. In order to be able to identify more quickly which contents are in which container, it’s best to get glass containers and label everything with a label printer. This way, all family members will know immediately what is where.
TIP 4: SORT FOOD AND KITCHEN ACCESSORIES ACCORDING TO FREQUENCY OF USE
To make sure that all important foods and utensils are immediately at hand, you should think carefully about which things are needed most often in your household and place them far in front on the shelves. However, if possible, try to avoid multiple rows in your cabinets, as then you run the risk of forgetting foods that are all the way at the back. Therefore, when Cleaning up your kitchen, think twice before using these foods or replace shelves with pull-out baskets. This way you can easily see what is behind the first rows of food.
TIP 5: USE CUP HOLDERS AND STORAGE BOXES FOR THE SMALL THINGS
Especially small dishes like cups or food like baking ingredients are often stored in the cupboard in a jumbled way and without a system. To store cups neatly, a cup holder is wonderful. The cupboard insert can be easily attached to a shelf and the cups can be hung on the handle. This way, you have a good overview and don’t have to rearrange the whole cupboard first in search of your favorite cup. Smaller food and kitchen accessories can be stored very well in storage boxes. With the label printer, the boxes can be labeled again easily.
TIP 6: USE CLAMPING BARS TO PREVENT CLUTTER IN LARGE DRAWERS
Everyone has them – the drawers in which everything just flies around in a jumble and any order is destroyed after opening once again. Often this is because the drawer is simply too big and the contents slip around when you open it. Clamp rods, which are used for hanging curtains, can be perfectly converted into room dividers in drawers or cabinets. Simply clamped, clamping rods, for example, fix tupperware boxes on one side and prevent the mess of lids and containers. In this way, after cleaning up the kitchen, order can be maintained even in the longer term.
Essentials for a neat and clean kitchen
LABEL PRINTER
With a label printer you can easily label all devices and food during the kitchen clean-up and thus provide more order and overview. Depending on your needs, different fonts and sizes are available and you can also print with color. The display on the device shows exactly how the label will look after printing.
STORAGE JARS
Transparent storage jars have many advantages. Not only can you see at a glance what is in the jar, but you always have an overview of how much of each food item you have left and when you should buy what. Depending on your needs, the jars come in different sizes. The sealed lids keep all food fresh for a long time.
CLAMPING RODS
In addition to their classic use as curtain rods, clamp rods can also serve as room dividers in drawers or as additional shelves in cabinets when several are placed next to each other. Due to the transparent rubber bumpers at the ends, the rod provides a perfect hold and can be flexibly adjusted to the required length. With clamp bars, the order in drawers lasts for a long time, even after cleaning up the kitchen.
CUP HOLDER CABINET INSERT
The cupboard insert is wonderful for storing cups in a space-saving and neat way. Up to 10 cups or coffee mugs can be hung on the rack. The cupboard insert can be easily attached under the shelf without tools and is also visually after cleaning up the kitchen a beautiful eye-catcher.
