DAY 4: The Best Method for Decluttering Your Kitchen

ApartmentTherapy · September 16

It's day four of Apartment Therapy's Decluttering Cure, and we're tackling our one spot in our kitchen — whether that's the cabinets (one or all of them), a drawer, the entire fridge, or your pantry. Let us know below what you got to today.

Today’s kitchen clean-out is all about tackling one spot. Yes, just one! I'll be tackling my mystery spice cabinet that has turned into a catch-all for tupperware and all the things

Remember, even the smallest decluttering win can make the world of difference in how you'll feel in your home 🏠

Next to my pantry in the kitchen, there's a closet where I keep the recycling bin, the vacuum, other cleaning tools, small appliances I don't use regularly, and - since it has a rod - all my spare hangers. I noticed that garden supplies, car supplies, and cat toys had crept in and were taking up too much room, so I reorganized it, removed the excess, and vacuumed. Now I'm looking for a cleaning tool organizer - tired of using nails in the wall to hold brooms and mops.

I did two sections today. First, I went through the tupperware cabinet - it was a huge mess and now it looks so nice. I also have a cabinet where I keep cleaning supplies but last year I got a maid and so most of that stuff was just setting there. Now that's cleaned out and I can keep the bottled water there instead of out in the garage. Loving this declutter cure.

Bravo! I have a closet in my house that sounds just like this. I use this on my wall to organize the mops/brooms and it works nicely because my closet is a little deeper. There's also a similar version but for over the door which could be good for saving space

The tupperware cabinet is no easy feat. Kudos to you! While I was organizing mine, I realized I have so many old ones that don't match up with the lids. Lots to declutter here

I decluttered the kitchen cart and even cleaned the microwave. Also, organized the glass containers in a plastic basket from another room. When I moved, I replaced the tupperware stuff with glass. Actually, a friend took the plastic for her college going child.

I tackled my mug cabinet and created a peg rack for them. It limits me to 12 and it's so much easier to access, no more digging through a packed cabinet.
