3 Easy Steps to Keep Your Kitchen Organized!

Holidays are great. Family, food, and fun. But after the party? Your kitchen looks like a tornado hit it.

Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas—doesn’t matter. The aftermath is always the same: dirty dishes, cluttered counters, and leftover chaos.

Let’s fix that. Here’s how to get your kitchen back in shape, fast, with smart organization and time-saving tools.

Step 1: Prep Smart Before the Guests Arrive

A little planning makes a BIG difference.

  • Declutter Your Counter – Use wall-mounted organizers to store kitchen tools and keep lesser-used appliances in baskets or cabinets, only keep essentials.

  • Line Your Pans – Use parchment paper or silicone mats to minimize scrubbing later.

  • Use Multi-Tasking Appliances – For example, a solo MYVES 5-in-1 immersion blender can take the place of a whole team of gadgets. That's less clutter and more elbow room!

Step 2: Keep It Tidy While Cooking

You don’t have to wait until the party’s over to clean up.

  • Keep Trash Bags Handy – Place one near the prep area to catch scraps fast.
  • Rinse As You Go – Use an Over-Sink Roll-Up Drying Rack to free up counter space. Rinse tools and let them air dry instantly.
  • Use Silicone Baking Tools – Zero mess. They’re non-stick, easy to rinse, and reusable.

Step 3: Clean Up Fast Post-Feast

Now, let’s tackle that post-holiday disaster—without spending all night.

  • Stack & Sort – Place all dishes by category. Plates together, utensils together. Prioritize what needs soaking.

  • Store Smart – Use stackable storage bins to organize leftovers neatly. Label them for easy access.

  • Deep Clean in Minutes – Wipe counters with a damp cloth and store away holiday-themed serveware in storage baskets.

  • Maximize Drying Space – A Over-Sink Roll-Up Drying Rack dries multiple items while saving counter space.
