Pantry is the area of your home where you store your food and appliance items that quickly gets unorganised, cluttered, and over-stocked with lots of about-to-end, finished, or forgotten food containers and items.
Are you facing the same situation? Oh no! That’s an inconvenient situation. But don’t lose hope. We’ve got you!
Below, we have curated a quick yet in-depth guide that helps you easily organise your pantry.
Figuring Out Problems, Planning Solution & Shopping
Here, figure out what’s making your pantry messy. Is it overstocked food? Is it empty food containers, or is it plastic bags?
Despite this, have a look at your food containers too. Are your containers just dusty or cracked? Does it need washing or a new replacement?
If your containers are broken, cracked, or need replacement, then you should plan a quick pantry shopping trip to your nearest store to buy food containers.
While buying your food containers, don’t forget to grab only those containers that can air-tight your food to store well.
The Cleaning & Restoring Part
Back to your home with your brand new food containers? Now it’s time to declutter your pantry. Take out all the containers and food, plastic bags, etc., from your pantry shelves.
Clean the dust and dirt from the shelves by wiping through a pence of cloth and a cleaner. Don’t forget to wash and dry your food containers so you can restore your lentils, spices, dry fruits, and flour, etc.
Dedicating Spaces
Mainly, people store non-refrigerative veggies, spices, lentils, cereals and kitchen appliances, and plastic bags in their pantries.
In this step, dedicate a specific spot for each pantry item. Keep in mind that always place your spices, lentils, and cereal containers in an easily accessible area.
And items that you use less on your regular basis, you can dedicate a place that is less accessible.
Similarly, place your non-refrigerative veggies in a vegetable basket under a cool place.
Organising
Now comes the part where you will start organising items. Start refilling your containers from the plastic bags so that you can store food for a long time and block out any bugs trying to get into the food.
You can label your containers to avoid any confusion while cooking. Finally, place containers to their dedicated shelves and non-refrigerated veggies at their place.
