Your Pantry Organization Is Killing You

Its just doing it slowly. Here are 5 organization rules every pantry should follow:

Keep Drippy Things on Bottom Shelves

It happens to the best of us: things get knocked over. Contain a future mess by identifying the prime culprits for a particularly sticky, staining disaster (frequently-used olive oil, I'm looking at you) and removing them from the top shelf, where their mess-making potential is maximized.

Most Frequently-Used Items At The Front

Frequent trips to the back of the pantry open you up to more possibilities of knocking things over, and are just an unnecessary additional hassle. Keep your favorite items close at hand by moving them to the front of the line.

Separate Cleaning Supplies

OK, this one actually could kill you. Large pantries such as the ones featured in Redwood Apartments frequently become a catch-all for items that either don't quite fit in their intended space elsewhere, or don't have a place at all. Brooms and mops may find their way into this space, closely followed by cleaning supplies that are certainly not safe for human consumption. While there is no large issue with these items occupying the same space, keep them as separate as possible by giving the cleaning supplies their own corner.
