Organization Expert Offers Tips on How to Prepare for Spring Cleaning 

Welcome back to wake up with Cheddar Chloe Aiello here with Baker Machado. Now, this week and today marks the first day of spring, which means it's time for spring cleaning, cleaning out. The clutter can be tough. But luckily our own Shannon Lanier is on the scene to help. That's right. All morning, we've been out here, Philip and Jamie's house. They are from Horde early. It's a company that does this. Yeah, they get your kitchen looking like that because mine does it right now. So we're with them for more tips. So, Jamie, where do you even start? Cause the kitchen can be very overwhelming to even think about organizing and cleaning. Yeah. So hopefully we have an 11 step process that we take our clients through. And the first one of the first few steps is to pull everything out and sort everything. So that way you can see everything you have and know how much you have of each category. Okay. So I know trying to organize the cabinets can be overwhelming as well. So what do we do with our cabinets? And how can we utilize the space on our cabinets better? Well, one quick tip that a lot of people, a lot of our clients don't do is actually adjust the shelves. You know, once you pull out, sort, figure out where everything is going to go place it in there and maybe have tall cups on the, on the base here on the, on the first store. And then so, you know, lift that shelf up and just adjust them to what you have. Okay. And I know you also said something about the pots and pans and back of doors, right? So if you have limited cabinet space, you could always maybe hang your pots and pans somewhere. Um, or we like to use a cookware rack and cabinets to, to stand your pots and pans up. So you have to lift, I want to show people the back of this door over here, Philip, if you can show us now tell us what you did to this door and why so really underutilized spaces, the back of the door. This is the door to our basement, but now all of our cleaning supplies are right here on the back of our door. And this isn't, it's very easy accessible rack that you can get from the container store and organize. The That's a genius idea. I love that because it's so useful that most people aren't using the back of the door anyway. So why not? Okay. So what's another thing that people don't realize that they're under utilizing or they're not doing with their kitchen that would have really helped them inside the cabinet doors as well. You can use adhesive organizers or something that hangs over the cabinet to utilize that space, especially in really deep cabinets or deep drawers. Um on the the cabinet shelves, use bins to act as drawers. My wife does that. She loves a good been big mistakes. You see people make with their kitchen, everything just lands in everywhere, right under the under the sink, especially it's just kind of a diving space. So really containment is key in the kitchen. So those getting those right bins are getting the right products for what you're storing in your space is well, speaking of. So I noticed the flow here, this drawer, they have these dividers in them, which are amazing. I love how you guys have these dividers here for your clients, talk to us about the flow of the kitchen and where things should be placed in the kitchen. So you want to put things where you use them. So for example, we've got our cooking utensils here, right? Or maybe you want to keep your, your spices and your oils and vinegars right by the stove if you're using those a lot, um You want to have like a prep area where you're cutting and prepping food. That makes sense. Now, I know you guys went viral on tiktok for this draw over here that we show people earlier. This is amazing. Do you recommend everyone do this to their home? Um It really depends on you and your lifestyle. You want to do what's best for you and create a functional space for, for you and your family. But it's always great to take things out of boxes to save on space. But you don't have to like decant everything. If that is, you gonna take too much time, you can think more broadly and create larger categories in a banner in a drawer of like pastas grains or even better. Just have them come and do it for you. Can you guys come to my house, please? Where can people get more information on your company's early, check out early dot com or on Instagram and tiktok at Horde early and it's like orderly but with an H I like that early. We're not hoarders were orderly. All right, back to you guys at the studio.
