Lesson Overview

26.1 – Clearing the Table Safely After Meals: Clearing the table safely after meals keeps your kitchen organized while preventing spills or injury. Begin by removing sharp objects, glasses, and heavy dishes one group at a time instead of overloading your hands. Stack similar items together—plates with plates, utensils in a bundle—to make carrying easier. Wipe crumbs and spills immediately to prevent slipping or attracting pests. Be aware of hot dishes or liquids still cooling and handle them with caution. Encourage everyone at the table to help with cleanup so the process feels shared and efficient. Place food scraps into a compost or trash bin before washing dishes. Clearing safely creates rhythm and reduces clutter quickly, leaving your eating area ready for the next meal. Consistent, careful cleanup turns responsibility into a calm, repeatable routine.
