Kitchen drawer tidy and donation

Clear a messy kitchen drawer and set one item aside for donation to free space and reduce clutter. Use when the drawer is overfull or you can't find things quickly.

⏱ 35 min★ Medium

Target

The drawer is overstuffed with mixed utensils, gadgets, and loose papers so it's hard to find needed items.

Obstacle

Deciding which single item to let go is difficult because many items have occasional use or minor sentimental value, and small objects are hidden under larger ones.

Expectation

The drawer contains only regularly used items organized by function and one chosen item is packed for donation and placed by the exit.

Materials

• Donation bag — 1 bag

Tools

• Microfiber cloth — 1

Steps

Empty and sort drawer contents
