5 Kitchen Cleaning Tips (And Why Storage Units Can Help)

A cluttered kitchen makes cooking frustrating. Most of us have way more stuff than our cabinets are able to handle. If you are dealing with uncommonly used appliances, duplicate cookware, or devices you rarely use, organizing your kitchen starts with knowing what to keep close and what can be stored elsewhere. In this blog, we'll discuss five practical cleaning tips that'll transform your kitchen, plus how storage units can help you maximize your space.

1. Clear Out Holiday Items

One of the main reasons kitchens stay cluttered is holding onto items you only use a few times a year. For example turkey roasters, ice cream makers, holiday cookie cutters, and baking pans take up cabinet space that could be used for items you use everyday.

Once you have gathered these extra items in a bin or container. You can start thinking about where to place it. You may need a linen closet, pantry, garage, etc. Either way, you are still going to have to interact with these items in some form or manner. This is where a storage unit can serve as a great place to keep kitchen items organized and accessible. You can store holiday serving dishes, cookware, and specialty appliances safely until you need them. And because StorPlace Self Storage offers month-to-month rentals, you can adjust your storage needs as needed.

2. Organize Small Appliances and Gadgets

Kitchen counters pile up quickly with coffee makers, blenders, stand mixers, food processors, and other appliances that seem essential but create constant clutter. Companies need smart solutions to keep countertops clear while maintaining easy access to frequently used items.

Choose a climate-controlled storage unit to protect sensitive electronics from humidity and temperature changes. StorPlace Self Storage has clean, secure units that help you stay organized without sacrificing counter space or dealing with overcrowded cabinets.

3. Store Bulk Items and Extra Pantry Stock

Large bags of flour, bulk spices, extra canned goods, and backup cleaning supplies are often needed by families who shop in bulk or run home-based food businesses. A drive-up storage unit is a great way to keep your pantry staples organized and accessible without turning your kitchen into a warehouse.

You can store extra paper products, bulk ingredients, overflow pantry items, and backup supplies at StorPlace Self Storage. You can rest easy knowing your items stay fresh and organized with 24-hour video monitoring and a gated entrance.

4. Handle Kitchen Renovations and Deep Cleaning

Are you updating your kitchen or doing a major deep clean? A storage unit provides a safe, temporary place to keep dishes, small appliances, cookware, and other essentials while your space gets the attention it needs. You don't have to work around clutter or risk damaging items when you can store everything safely and retrieve it when your kitchen is ready.

StorPlace makes it easy to handle kitchen projects without disrupting your daily routine, whether you're renovating, deep cleaning, or just reorganizing your entire space.

5. Organize Entertaining and Special Occasion Supplies

If your family hosts holidays, throws parties, or has regular gatherings, you probably have serving platters, extra table linens, party supplies, and specialty dishes taking up valuable kitchen real estate. A storage unit lets you keep all these entertaining essentials organized and easily accessible when you need them for special occasions.

Event planners and frequent hosts love having a dedicated place to store party materials because it keeps everything organized, protected, and simple to transport. Store extra dinnerware, holiday decorations, and seasonal entertaining supplies off-site to help keep your everyday kitchen clean and functional.
