I try to clear them off after every meal to keep the mess at bay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409949 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:30:13 +0000 sarac 409949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I despise clutter due to growing up in a really cluttered home. On occasion some dishes will stack up next to the sink if the dishwasher needs unloading, but that's it. And even that drives me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409931 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:09:20 +0000 Freckles 409931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont like clutter either, especially my workspace on the kitchen island. Since our kitchen is small, i am always clearing and organizing things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409895 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:26:39 +0000 Sweet T 409895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kitchen is tiny so we try to keep the counters clear.

It's a daily cleaning battle...I don't know where it all comes from and why it needs to go all in that particular spot lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409751 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:56:31 +0000 Mrsbells 409751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we dont have much counterspace, and have lots of appliances such as deep fryer, kettle, waffle maker, toaster oven, etc so those take up a bit of space </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409746 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:53:33 +0000 LAGS 409746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the moment yes because we just got home from a big trip so I have a pile of toys to wash up and bottles etc. we used while in the car. Typically all we keep on them are our knives, coffee maker and mixer. I really like it clutter free, but to be fair don't have enough counter space to accommodate much clutter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kitchen-counters-covered-with-random-stuff-piled-up-all-over-them#post-409735 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:50:13 +0000 mrbee 409735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours did, especially since we have one of those kitchen island sorta things. So we've been making it a point to keep the kitchen counters clear... and wow, it makes a big difference!</p> <p>The kitchen/living room area appears much cleaner, and we're able to wipe down the counters daily. I never realized how dirty those counters were getting, until we started wiping/scrubbing them down every day! Yikes...</p> <p>Are your kitchen counters covered with random stuff piled up all over them? </p>
