Now that you have all your food sorted out, it is time to tidy up the kitchen:
  • clean all the cabinets and shelves before returning the foods you are keeping
  • clean your refrigerator, including any removable racks, trays, and drawers
  • clean and sanitize your silverware and utensil holders
  • clean and sterilize cutting boards
It is also a good time to remove the clutter from your counter tops which only serve to get in your way and decrease your working space.
