Accomplish Some Belated Spring Cleaning By Tossing These 5 Kitchen Items

  • By throwing out these 5 items, it's a good way to start some belated spring cleaning. The kitchen is also an efficient way to spring clean since we all spend plenty of time in it.

    1. Yucky Food Storage Containers

    Look for stain-resistant, BPA-free plastic versions if you'll be bringing food to picnics or the beach, or glass ones if you mostly store food for home use.

    2. Rusted Grill Tools

    “If your BBQ tools spent a winter outside and are now warped or fraying, they should be replaced,” says Whitford. Same goes for any outdoor-only gear that might not have been cleaned properly before you put it away.

    3. Year-Old Popsicles

    Things don't keep forever in the freezer. So look for season-specific items like Popsicles, hot dogs, or hamburger packs.

    4. Old Relish

    Same goes for those BBQ-centric condiments, like pickle relish, horseradish, yellow mustard, or even mayo — if it's not something you've been using day-to-day during the other seasons, it's time to toss.

    5. Single-Use Kitchen Gadgets

    See: cherry pitter, pineapple corer, avocado slicer, kale trimmer. If you've got one of these super-specific tools still in the packaging from last summer, you're not going to use it this summer.

    What other things would you recommend throwing away to purge your home this summer?
