If you want to establish good habits, organization is key. To start tidying up your new home, begin by doing a thorough cleanse and reorganizing your pantry! Here are some tips and tricks from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Central Iowa that you can try out for yourself!

  1. Begin with a clean slate. Before you even begin to sort and organize your pantry’s contents, tidy it up by carefully sweeping out any crumbs and messes that have accumulated. Doing so will help make it easier for you to discern which items should be retained or discarded as part of the reorganization process.
  1. Examine everything thoroughly. Once you’ve assessed your belongings, it’s time to part with the unnecessary items. Instead of merely focusing on what can stay or go, consider how each item is used (for baking, cooking, and so on). This will aid in determining which objects are most valuable to you.
  1. Invest in some storage solutions. Installing new shelves or storage options in your pantry will help keep everything more organized and easier to find.
  1. Use transparent storage containers. Keep your space tidy with transparent storage containers! With their clear exterior, you can clearly identify and store items without having to open anything.
  1. Label everything. A couple of minutes spent now labeling your storage containers with their contents, and any helpful info will save you much stress in the long run.
  1. Keep similar items together. With a correctly arranged kitchen pantry, cooking is not only faster but more efficient as well. Keeping all seasonings together will save valuable minutes compared to scouring everywhere for one ingredient! This small tweak can give you the power of effortless preparation when it’s time to get creative in the kitchen.
  1. Don’t forget about the flooring. Store larger items on the floor of your pantry to make use of empty space and prevent injuries.
  1. Use door storage. Take advantage of your space by thinking outside the box! Wall hooks and over-the-door storage are useful ways to make use of underutilized areas. In particular, these methods come in handy for items that can be difficult to find a place for jars filled with baking ingredients.
  1. Keeping it clean is a good idea. If you want an organized and clean pantry, put things away immediately after using them. In addition, wipe down surfaces and sweep the floor regularly.
  1. Throw out old supplies. A well-maintained pantry requires regular cleaning. Check your shelves for anything that is no longer needed or outdated, and remove it as soon as possible. This way, your space will look newer and be more organized in the long run.
