Welcome to Clean With Me podcast. I'm Jessica and I'm Ronnie. This is a podcast where we literally

walk you through cleaning your house step by step. So let's clean together. Thanks for joining me

in today's episode. We are going to declutter your kitchen. I will give this disclaimer. If you are drowning in dishes and your kitchen is a disaster right now, always do your dishes first. But if you're caught up on dishes, you can jump right into decluttering.

And I'm going to talk about three different types of decluttering because believe it or not,

this episode is not just about getting rid of stuff. It's a little bit of organizing,

but at the same time, I'm not going to talk a lot about organizing containers.

Obviously, when you're decluttering your kitchen, you might get ideas like I'd like a little basket

here or a little, you know, container with dividers here, and you can add things to your list if you

want that sort of thing. But I want you to just jump in

and do some organizing in your kitchen with what you have. Let's get right into it. So the first type

of decluttering, of course, is getting rid of stuff. That's the one we're most familiar with.

Another type is taking things out of circulation.

And if you've listened to my show before, you know that when I talk about kids' toy boxes,

I talk about having a small toy box within reach and taking some of the other toys out of

circulation, whether that's putting them up in a, up in the closet

on the top shelf in a container or even taking them out to the garage and then kind of rotating

them back in, so to speak. So that's what I mean by taking things out of circulation, but there's

actually a way to apply that

in the kitchen. We'll be talking about that. Another type of decluttering is just putting things away

because clutter can just be things on surfaces that don't belong that really should be stored

out of sight. And maybe you have some

things that currently belong on your countertop, but it would be better to create a home for them
