We’ve got all the empty jars, broken spoons, and other bits and pieces you need to throw away.
Are you tired of looking for essentials in your kitchen and only finding old, useless items? Maybe it’s time for a declutter!
Find out which six items, besides empty jars, are hiding health hazards and taking up space in your kitchen.
- Damaged non-stick cookware
Damaged non-stick cookware can release chemicals that have been linked to serious health risks. Experts say that if you have damaged cookware, it’s a good idea to throw it away.
- Broken cups and shattered glassware
Damaged mugs and broken glasses are not presentable and pose a hazard as one can easily cut themselves. If you are generally accident prone, you can invest in sleek plastic water and wine glasses.
- Tappers with breaks/damage
All of us collect various Tupperware however very few of them are the ones we use on a daily basis. Remove broken and worn out Tupperware from your kitchen and buy quality utensils.
- Worn pans and pots
Many pots and pans don’t last forever, and after a while, you may notice that some are warped, especially if you washed them in the dishwasher.
- Tablecloths and towels with stains
If your favorite towels have stubborn stains that won’t go away, it’s best to buy new ones.
- Damaged or expired food
Cleaning the fridge is a time-consuming but very important task if you want your kitchen to always be clean. Empty its contents, clean it thoroughly and remove all spoiled food.
- Old dried herbs and spices
Herbs and spices have an expiration date and many of them can go bad if you don’t store them properly. If you find that their jar has a strange/unpleasant smell or spoilage you should throw it away.
- Empty jars
You can use a lot of packaging such as a jam jar to store other foods. Otherwise you can recycle the containers, doing your bit for a cleaner planet.
