A place of chatter, socialising and of course, gastronomic goodness. Realistically though, on a day to day basis it\u2019s also a very busy environment, and oftentimes it can go from spotless to messy in a matter of hours &#8211; especially in the average family home. If this is a problem you find yourself facing, and you want to keep your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\">laminate kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong> looking spotless, we have a few essential tips that you might find helpful.<\/p>\n<h2>Organising by convenience<\/h2>\n<p>This is a tough but simple step in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\"><strong>worktop<\/strong><\/a> organisation. Do you use your smoothie machine, your toastie maker or your blender every single day? If the answer is no, for any of these, then we recommend putting them away somewhere. Whilst these gadgets may look cool, if they\u2019re not in regular use, they may simply be collecting dust on your worktop. The space these pieces of kitchen tech take up could be better used for other things you use much more frequently, allowing for your worktop to remain decluttered. Take this necessary step and it\u2019ll suddenly become much easier to keep your kitchen clean.<\/p>\n<p>Your worktop is one of the most visible parts of the kitchen, and it\u2019s one of the first things that will spring out to visitors. If you\u2019re looking to organise, we recommend thinking to yourself \u201cdoes this need to be here?\u201d when deciding whether something stays on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops.html\">kitchen worktop<\/a><\/strong> or gets stowed away in a cupboard or drawer. For example, a spice rack will likely remain on the worktop, as the colours make it aesthetically pleasing and the aromas are an added bonus, but chopping boards may be better hidden away, as they\u2019re used frequently, often don\u2019t look attractive and are quite clunky pieces of kitchenware. Most kitchens also have allotted sections for specific things such as cutlery, foods, and cleaning apparatus, so be sure to use them to minimise the mess on your worktop.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Square-edged-worktops-to-suit-every-kitchen-design.jpg\" alt=\"Square edged worktops to suit every kitchen design\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Square-edged-worktops-to-suit-every-kitchen-design.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Square-edged-worktops-to-suit-every-kitchen-design-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>What works on top of your worktop?<\/h2>\n<p>Your beautiful laminate kitchen worktop is now already significantly cleaner and more organised, now you can get creative! Do you have mason jars spare? Stick your pastas, lentils, and rice in them. Have you got a ceramic bowl lying around? Why not grab some fruits out of the fridge and create a collage of colour?

Your kitchen knives slot perfectly into a knife block, or you may even want them hanging from the wall with a magnetic rack.
