Laura Price of The Home Organisation says next, it’s time to do a stock check of every cabinet by removing everything and sorting it all into categories.

Janelle Cohen, the founder of Straighten Up By Janelle and author of The Folding Book, agrees and adds one critical step. Once everything is out of the cabinets, she says to deep clean the cabinet or drawer before re-stocking.
