START SMALL

KITCHEN DECLUTTERING CHECKLIST

Go through each item carefully and sort it into three groups: keep, donate, or toss.

SORT ITEMS

If you have two of the same item, like spatulas or measuring cups, keep only one and donate or toss the extra to free up space.

GET RID OF DUPLICATES

Move small appliances and items you don’t use daily into cabinets or storage. Keep countertops clear for a cleaner, tidier, and more spacious look.

CLEAN YOUR COUNTERTOPS

Arrange items logically by how often you use them to make your kitchen more efficient.

ORGANIZER CABINETS AND DRAWERS

Add drawer dividers, shelf risers, or clear bins to keep things neat and maximize your space.

USE ORGANIZERS

Toss expired food and group similar items together, like snacks, cans, or baking supplies.

DECLUTTER THE PANTRY

Wipe down shelves, drawers, and countertops as you declutter so your kitchen feels fresh and tidy.
