While I agree with Boron's sentiments, I raised kids and do a huge
amount of home processing - canning, drying, freezing, bulk cooking -
yet because I got into the habit of clean as you go, my kitchen always
looks more than presentable. It's weird, I can't function in a
disorderly kitchen so keeping order has been a high priority. Now my
desk, that is another story!
