Moving into a new home is a great time to create better housekeeping habits! Whether you’re hoping to adopt one or many new tactics, organizing your pantry is a good place to start. Here are some tips and tricks from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Memphis that you can try out for yourself!

1. Start with a clean slate. Before you begin organizing your pantry, give it a good deep cleaning. This will help you get a better sense of what you have and what needs to be replaced or thrown out.

2. Sort through everything. Once your pantry is clean, it’s time to start sorting through everything. Group items together by type (baking, cooking, etc.) and then decide what should be kept and what can be donated or thrown away.

3. Invest in some storage solutions. If your pantry is lacking in storage space, now is the time to invest in some shelves or other storage solutions. This will help you keep things more organized and make it easier to find what you need.

4. Use clear storage containers. One of the best ways to keep your pantry organized is to use clear storage containers for everything. This way, you can easily see what’s inside and where it is supposed to go.

5. Label everything. Along with using clear storage containers, be sure to label everything so you know exactly what it is and where it goes. This will save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

6. Store like items together. Another good tip for keeping your pantry organized is to store like items together. For example, keep all of your baking supplies together or all of your cooking oils in one spot. This will make it much easier to find what you need when you need it.

7. Don’t forget about the floor. The floor of your pantry can be a great storage spot for larger items that don’t fit on shelves. Just be sure to keep things tidy and organized so they don’t get in the way or become a trip hazard.

8. Use door storage. If your pantry has doors, make use of the space by hanging some hooks or using over-the-door storage solutions. This is a great way to store often-used items or things that are difficult to keep tidy on shelves.

9. Keep it clean. One of the best tips for keeping a pantry organized is to simply keep it clean. Wipe down surfaces, sweep the floor, and put things back in their place after each use. This will help prevent your pantry from getting cluttered and messy.

10. Purge regularly. Finally, one of the most important tips for keeping a pantry organized is to purge it regularly. Get rid of expired food, donate items you no longer use and throw away anything that’s become broken or damaged. Doing this will help you keep your pantry organized and tidy for years to come.
