Cooking can be joyful, creative, and grounding — but cleaning up afterward? That part rarely sparks joy.
The good news? A cleaner kitchen doesn’t always come from more effort. Often, it comes from using the right tools — smart designs that prevent mess in the first place, minimize waste, and make clean-up easier without adding another step.
At Ukiyo Productions, we work with culinary creators who balance content, clients, and kitchen chaos all at once. Whether you're batch filming, teaching cooking classes, or making slow dinners on your day off, these ten tools are designed to quietly clean as they go.
No extra elbow grease required.
Savel Produce Saver by Dreamfarm
Leftover lemon halves, half-avocados, half-anythings — they always end up either dried out or awkwardly clinging to foil in the fridge.
The Savel is a flexible, reusable silicone wrap that molds to whatever produce you're saving. It creates a tight seal without single-use plastic, keeps your ingredients fresh, and makes your fridge look more organized.
Why it's a cleaning win:
- Reduces plastic wrap waste
- Keeps cut produce from leaking
- Cleans easily in the dishwasher

Supoon (Full-Size)
The Supoon's clever design keeps its head off your counter, which means fewer spoon rests and far less counter mess.
It's one of our favorite tools to recommend to creators filming their process — because the last thing you want in your shot is a sauce-slick spoon leaving rings behind.
Chobs Cutting Board Feet
Attach these silicone clips to any cutting board and you instantly create a dual-sided, mess-controlling surface — one side for meat, the other for veg. It also keeps the board off the counter, reducing moisture and potential cross-contamination.
Bonus: they're color-coded for food safety and easy to snap on/off between sessions.
Clongs by Dreamfarm
These elevated tongs sit above the surface thanks to a clever kink in the handle — which means your counter stays cleaner, and your hands do too.
They also open and close with a click, so you’re not fumbling or spreading grease across your drawer handles.
Fledge Cutting Board
With its flip-up edges, the Fledge keeps juices, chopped ingredients, and crumbs from rolling onto the counter.
It’s lightweight, reversible, and designed to stay in place — perfect for fast-paced prep sessions or filming cooking content without pausing to wipe between shots.
Spadle Spoon-Ladle
It’s a stirrer. It’s a ladle. It also sits upright, meaning your stirring tool doesn’t become a counter problem.
For small kitchens or mobile content creators, the Spadle cuts down on clutter and cleanup.
Membo Task Reminder
How does a task reminder keep things cleaner? Simple: it keeps your brain clearer.
The Membo is a tactile, analog tool that tracks recurring jobs like "clean the fridge," "change the sponge," or "prep freezer stock." And when routines are consistent, mess builds up less.
Onpot Lid Rest
Dripping lids are a nightmare — especially in content shoots.
The Onpot clips to the side of your pot and holds your lid upright, letting condensation drip back into the pot instead of onto the stove or your prep surface.
Knibble Cheese Knife
It slices cleanly, doesn't stick, and includes a built-in serving fork — meaning less mess, fewer tools to wash, and no scrambling to plate sticky cheeses or soft fruits.
Ideal for stylized content, clean serving, and creators looking to minimize fiddling mid-reel.
Spindry Hygienic Brush
Cleaning up your cleaning tools? That’s a headache no one wants.
The Spindry dish brush drains itself, stands upright, and avoids the swampy puddle most brushes leave behind. It keeps your sink area looking and smelling better — and it’s ready to use when you are.
Clean Isn’t Just About Scrubbing — It’s About Design
Every tool above reduces mess not by demanding more from you, but by being smarter in how it works.
Cleaner tools = cleaner workflow = clearer mind.
At Ukiyo, we help culinary creators and educators build environments that reduce friction and invite flow. If your kitchen feels like a constant cleanup job, we can help you reset the system.
Because the best kitchen tools clean as they go — so you can keep creating without the chaos.
