Space-saving kitchen hack
Not only can appliance cords make your kitchen look messy, but they can also be dangerous too. Copy this simple kitchen hack, and say goodbye to chaotic cords.

How do you keep your electrical appliances in order?

Electrical appliances really do come in handy around the kitchen. Sometimes, however, the cords really do get in the way.

While some appliances have cords you can remove and place inside the item while not in use, there are many that don’t.

The simple purchase of a plastic hook with an adhesive backing can solve the problem.

  • Simply place the hook out of sight, such as on the back of a tabletop mixer.
  • Then you can loop the cord around the hook when the item is not in use.

Not only does it mean the cord won’t get tangled up with other appliances, it can save space if the hook is placed in a cavity space and out of the way.
