I have come to the conclusion that I hate kitchen drawers under the counter. Every one I opened this morning had some kind of crumbs in them. I try to keep them clean but when some else cleans the kitchen or wipes the counter (and me too) some of the crumbs seem to make it into the drawers. Does any one else have this problem? do you have a secret to prevent this from happening?

Yes, this seems to happen to me too! Especially falling into the silverware drawer, I hate that the most. Wish I knew the trick to that one too! I think this probably happens to more people than not!

I think that your right. My silverware gets to be a bit messier than the other drawer because it seems to be opened much more often.

Yup have that problem too. I think it's the same law of physics that makes falling leaves somehow get UNDER your windshield wiper. Although I must add that I do contribute largely to the problem by using my drawers as extra counter space. When I have a plate to set down and no counter room, I pull a drawer out.

Boy I never thought about using the drawers as extra counter space. I have a cutting board that would work great for that. Thanks a lot for dropping by. Isn't great the hints and tip you can pick up here.

I don't have this problem much because my drawers are on the side of the sink area where there is little counter space. However, when cleaning I do use a towel in my hand to catch whatever it is I am wiping off the counter top to keep the crumbs from going anywhere but where I want them to go. I hope this helps at least a little bit.

I have used a towel too but they still end up in the drawers at some point. Part of the problem is my hands are in terrible shape. But thanks for the hint any way.
