The Secret to Clean Kitchen Countertops // Declutter with me // Home organization

[@lormor460]

I have as little as possible on my counters but must haves are the toaster, coffee maker , paper towels and veggie basket. These are used everyday. Some all day (other than coffee maker. My butter is in a cabinet above the toaster 😊 The sink has a kitchen cleaner (in a clear glass container) and a scrub daddy.

I grew up putting butter in the fridge, and even did so during most of my married life. But after a visit to my husband’s cousin and his wife, I now keep it on the counter! She told me as long as it’s out of direct sunlight, it’s fine to sit out! I love having soft butter! I keep my countertops clear for the most part.

I was the same - butter in the fridge my whole life! Until I went to my in laws. Wouldn’t go back now. Thank you so much for watching!!!

Butter on the counter 😊 And thank you for this video. My kitchen counters ARE magnets! This’ll help me to be mindful on making sure things are put away right away!

[@OrganizeNashville]

Yes, butter on the counter 🙌🏻 I feel like I’ve found my people. And gosh thank you for saying that and for watching. I’m so glad you found it helpful.

So cute, loved this video!

[@OrganizeNashville]

Thank you so much!

Ooh, I like that metal sponge holder. I have two utensil containers, it's ridiculous. We hardly use them. After watching your video I have decided one of those containers has got to go! Thanks!

[@OrganizeNashville]

YES! So good. Glad you found it helpful ❤️❤️❤️

Common sense says the less you own, the less there is to take care of

Onmy counter… 1.my knife block..I use them multiple times throughout the day and I have no drawer space 2. A Little Red Riding Hood Cookie Jar, it was my grandmother’s and it’s beautiful like she was. My baking hero 3. My canisters, flour, sugar, tea and one for misc… a must for me 4. My Kitchen Aid, I use it a lot because it’s on my counter and she’s pretty. 5. A small basket for catch all, mail, keys, phones,etc… 6. My Keurig..use multiple times a day since wfh. My kitchen is small, cozy and USED.

Love this!! 🖤🖤🖤

I keep a vase of flowers and a covered white cast iron baker with some daily tea making things inside on one side and on the other side a kitchen scale for weighing sourdough starter twice a day and a tray with two expresso cups and a coffee press. The regular coffee maker stays as hidden as possible next to the fridge because my husband doesn't want to be getting into cabinets to make coffee. No appliance garage. My Kitchen Aide is on a roll cart in another room and I bring it to the kitchen when I need it. Having very little on my counters is a new thing since we put in new countertops and backsplash. Small house, open plan.

I'm all for less on the counters! Clutter is such a magnet for more clutter.

How would you create a drop Zone?

[@TrishLewis-zo2rn]

I keep my coffee pot, toaster, tea saucer and spoon, and dish soap and drainer on the counters. My microwave is on top of the oven and my cutting boards are hung. But I also have a piece of pottery in each corner and a small picture to hide a plug. That's it, and life is pleasantly simple. There are always three food prep spots available to use for actual cooking.

Thanks for sharing!!

Butter on the counter. But in a butter dish.

[@OrganizeNashville]

Yes, butter on the counter 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@christinamo7]

it's nice principles. my mixer stays out because it's heavy and I use it almost every day. so yes, to what you said - but - customize. :-)

I put butter in the fridge, but I like it on the counter and wonder if it spoils. Thanks so much for this helpful video. I am in the middle of reorganizing my kitchen and it looks like a bomb went off. I am emptying every drawer and cabinet. I realize I don 't make fast decision so everything I don't know what to do with ends up in a draw. I am ending up with too many junk drawers and no place to put things. I love to cook and have a small kitchen. I have also put the house on Airbnb this year. Looking at my kitchen through other people's eyes is horrifying. I want to start cooking for Christmas and am also getting ready to leave it to another family. I want them to have a good experience and not have to deal with my junk drawers. It is helpful to think of things in zones as I often have a paper forest on my counter tops. If you were here, I would hire you. Thanks for the video!

[@OrganizeNashville]

Hi Jan! Thanks so much for watching. I love that you took everything out - I really think that is key to being successful so it sounds like you are well on your way. Wish I was there to help too! Happy organizing

[@tahiraejaz3008]

Where is the kitchen towel ❤

[@OrganizeNashville]

Great question! They are in a drawer to the right of the sink

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Butter on the counter, until summer. Because it's hard to spread melted butter, and also, it tastes funny 😂

[@OrganizeNashville]

Love it! I’ve never had mine melt on the counter but I’m the winter sometimes I wake up and it’s frozen (opposite problem haha!)

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

@@OrganizeNashville i live in Australia. 🇦🇺 Some parts of our country get very hot in summer! On the other hand, my butter has never frozen, yikes!

[@angelamelum4304]

Butter on the counter. I don’t really want it there, but you can’t spread it if it’s in the fridge.

[@OrganizeNashville]

I feel the exact same way!

[@liii1342]
