Pantry Shake Up

It's time to toss that forgotten tin of peas at the back of your grocery cupboard

In an ideal world, we would be doing a quick clean-out of our pantries every month. But with the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often find ourselves neglecting this space and our pantry cupboards tend to become a tad chaotic. That's okay, nobody is judging you for it - goodness knows that there are stray packets of lentils or tins of beans hiding at the back of most of our grocery cupboards. But, with spring-cleaning fever officially in the air, it's time to turn out this important space. And we get it, the task can very well seem extremely overwhelming, but keep reading to make sense of what to toss, what to keep and how to get your pantry organised.

GET CLEARING

Whether you have a massive walk-in pantry or a tiny cabinet where you keep your groceries, the first thing that you need to do is clear everything from the shelves. If you have items in baskets or drawers, you guessed it, it needs to be cleared too. This will allow you to get rid of crumbs and spills from your shelves and baskets. Tackle this task with your trusty vacuum cleaner, followed by a thorough wipe-down of all the surfaces.
