When it’s time spring clean your kitchen, remember to turn your attention upward…to the tops of your kitchen cabinets. Have you looked lately to see what’s lurking up there?

organized kitchen cabinetsIf it’s like my kitchen, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill-everyday-dust. Instead, it’s dust that’s been infused with a bit of kitchen grease. Let’s talk about yuck!

Once you get that mess cleaned up—you’ll never want to do it again. And, with this tip (courtesy of my father-in-law Gerry,) you won’t have to. Once your cabinet tops are clean, line them with paper such as newspaper or paper bags. Simply cut or fold the paper to the size of your cabinet tops, and walk away. In a few months, instead of scrubbing and cleaning away the grim, you’ll simply change your paper!

Voila! A clean cabinet top in no time! (I know … you just want to hug Gerry, don’t you?)
