7 ways to keep your kitchen countertops tidy

Use trays.
While distributing items across different areas of the work surface, place the entire group on a small tray, or alternatively, place it in a cute low-sided container or open basket. Then things will not “spread” over the entire surface and will look neat. In addition, in this form, the spice jar or sponge and rag are much easier and faster to move to wipe the work surface.
In addition to baking sheets and containers, simple or multi-tiered cake stands are suitable for this purpose – they will perfectly clean the work surface.
