Sometimes out of affection we keep non suitable utensils, all these form clutter in our home and dust on these unused items attract negative energy and create space crunch. Regularly removing the unused item can help keep the space clean and organized.
The pot holders, kitchen towels, aprons , wiping sponge , tray liner, foils should be kept close to the cooking platform so that they are readily available when needed. Water purifier should be enclosed in a covered space to avoid dust.
