The kitchen is a place where we spend a lot of time cooking and gathering with family and friends. That's why it's quite difficult to keep things tidy.
Over time, a lot of things accumulate in the kitchen that we don't use or do so incredibly rarely. A professional cleaner told us which of them tend to take up space in vain, so you should get rid of them as soon as possible.
The spice cabinet
If you look in your spice cabinet right now, you will notice that you probably never use most of them. In addition, spices don't have as long a shelf life as you think, so if they're just like odorless colored dust, you should throw them away.
Ground spices can be stored for one year after opening the package, and whole spices, such as peppercorns or nutmeg, can be stored for one to three years.
Mugs and glasses
Most people have so many glasses and cups on their shelves that it would take more than one party to use them all. Clean them up, give them to someone else, or just throw away the cups you've only used once or twice in your life.
The same goes for other utensils. Believe me, you don't need that many knives, spatulas, salad bowls, etc.
If you feel sorry for throwing away or hiding some utensils in a faraway cupboard, ask yourself if you would spend 300 hryvnias to buy them again. If not, don't hesitate.
The cabinet under the sink
If the cupboard under the sink has turned into a dumping ground for rags, detergents, and empty bottles, take the time to see what is really useful and what is not, and get rid of the things you will probably never use again.
Shopping bags
Reusable bags and tote bags are useful items that help you save the environment and avoid spending extra money when you go shopping. However, too much is not healthy.
If your kitchen is filled with bags and bags, use them to store and organize space in other rooms. Also, extra eco-bags can be given to loved ones or to charity, and plastic bags can be recycled.
