There’s nothing like a change of season to inspire a change in behavior. As spring blossoms around us once more, why not take advantage of the seasonal momentum to indulge in a little kitchen clearout?

The kitchen is one of the busiest areas of any home. As well as being an essential hub for food preparation and storage, this room is the source of comforting cups of warm morning coffee, after-school homework session, and where you host weekend catch-ups with friends over a plate of something delicious. Given its frequent use, kitchens can tend towards feeling cluttered and overfilled. 

Why not take an out with the old, in with the new approach this spring? Give your kitchen a refresh that focuses on getting the best out of the space and keeping you and your family as safe as can be from both clutter and lurking chemicals.

Your Kitchen Needs A Spring Clean

Spring cleaning is an annual tradition that helps you get a fresh start as the seasons change and the weather gets warmer. As the sun chases the winter blues away, it’s a chance to start anew and clean and declutter often-overlooked areas of your home that could benefit from some extra love. 

Open your windows to let in that sweet-smelling spring breeze, pump some tunes, put on an old apron, and start decluttering! 

Declutter Your Kitchen

Spring cleaning is a great time to get rid of anything that’s no longer serving you, such as old, broken, or obsolete items in your kitchen that could even be causing you more harm than good. Think damaged conventional nonstick cookware and the old utensils responsible for scratching them up. 

Conventional nonstick cookware is one of the leading sources of PFAS, also known as forever chemicals. Pans made with nonstick coatings, including Teflon®, release dangerous, long-lasting chemicals into the food you cook, your body, and the environment when they’re scratched and overheated during everyday use in your kitchen. This has been linked to significant health problems, including cancer, hormonal disruptions, and high cholesterol. 

A simple and fast way to avoid these worrying issues is to declutter your old, damaged nonstick cookware (it’s no longer serving you!) and switch to safe, toxin-free nonstick cookware made by GreenPan. 

Replace And Reorganise Kitchen Tools

There’s little point in replacing your pans, however, if you don’t also replace the utensils which likely scratched them up in the first place. How long have you been using the same dented, rusty spatula, creaky metal tongs, and that chipped, cracked, burned-on-one-side wooden spoon (ours has been limping along since college, poor thing!)? You deserve better, and so does your gorgeous non-toxic cookware. Send your old kitchen utensils to the great drawer in the sky, and move on to better, healthier things. 

The safest and most durable kitchen utensil replacements are GreenPan’s silicone utensil set. Why not take that spring feeling further by investing in their beautiful Oxford Blue Premiere Silicone Utensil Set?

As well as looking stunning in your hand, GreenPan’s durable, heat-resistant utensils are crafted from ultra-safe silicone and are the perfect tool for using on your GreenPan nonstick cookware. Toxin-free and dishwasher safe, they feature flexible silicone edges for ease-of-use, allowing you to quickly scrape up every last drop of goodness from your frypan. And their rigid steel core gives them stability and balance, making them a breeze to use when cooking. 

Set Yourself Up For Year-Round Kitchen Success

As you declutter and clean, it’s helpful to reorganize at the same time. Bring some order to your kitchen by placing your most frequently used items, such as your shiny new set of GreenPan silicone utensils, in a convenient spot to make them easier to reach. 

As you stand in your sparkling clean kitchen, breathe a sigh of relief that your pans and utensils are organized and, most importantly of all, free of harmful chemicals. Who’s ready for dinner?!
