Combat Counter Clutter
Many things can clutter a kitchen counter, but appliance cords are one of the biggest culprits. While they’re unavoidable for most small appliances, they don’t have to stay in disarray when not in use. All you need to get them under control is a set of self-adhesive hooks.
Self-adhesive hooks are typically used for decor or hanging storage, but they also offer a clever way to manage appliance cords. First, grab two hooks and find a clear spot on the back of your appliance. Attach one hook facing upward, then place the second hook a few inches below it, facing downward. By lining the hooks up vertically and pointing them in opposite directions, you’re giving the cord something to grab onto so it stays snug and doesn’t unravel.
Be sure to follow application instructions carefully to ensure the adhesive lasts. Once the hooks are secure, wrap the cord around them — think of the mechanism that secures the cord on a vacuum.
