Start Decluttering Your Kitchen By Removing These Things First

Duplicate Items
Get rid of items you have too many of, such as reusable water bottles, plastic containers, bulky utensils, and even dishes. You can also donate excess food items.
Throw out old, dingy containers and any broken kitchenware, including broken appliances. Also get rid of kitchen tools that you haven't used in the past six months.
Tossing out old food, leftovers, and expired ingredients can instantly open up your fridge and pantry. Don't forget to check your spices and toss out old bottles.
Most food that needs a container is already sold in one, so get rid of bulky, impractical storage options to save more space, time, and money in the long run.
Most kitchens contain an assortment of cleaning products, old mail, and random items. Use the same judgement to get rid of these as you do with cooking products.
