1) Make sure that the utensils that you need and use on a regular basis are at your fingertips.
2) Minimize the number of dirty dishes by using three-in-one containers. These are containers that can go from the freezer, to the oven and then to the table.
3) Before you start making a large meal, fill the sink half way up with warm soapy water. This way you can drop the utensils, pots and pans in as you go and clean up is a cinch when you are done.
4) To save time unloading the dishwasher, think about how you load it. For your utensils, place all of the spoons in one divider, forks in another and knives in still another divider. When it comes time to unload them, it will be a cinch to grab them and put them away.
5) To unload your dishwasher efficiently, put items away that go to a particular cabinet or drawer before tackling another cabinet or drawer.
Happy Organizing! Bridges
