Throwing your cleaning supplies into a cabinet might feel like the easy thing to do, but when you know exactly where everything is, you’ll waste less time, feel less frustrated, and for some people, even save money. No more searching through a tangled mess just to get the glass cleaner! The right system can make your cleaning routine easier and more effective. Want to change up your storage arrangement? Let’s get started!
Have Thing You Use Often Nearby
That little area under your sink is prime real estate for things you need every day, like dish soap, multi-surface sprays, and sponges. Group items together in bins, baskets, or clear containers. That way, you can snatch what you need without toppling half the cabinet, and your most-used products remain where they’re in arm’s reach.
Use a Rolling Cart
Sick of running around to thousands of different cleaners? A rolling cart can make all the difference. Load it with your favorite products, cloths, and brushes, and roll it around as you clean. Choose a multi-tiered cart to keep everything in sight and organized—and let’s be real, it’s way harder to forget a product when it’s staring at you!
Store Your Cleaning Products in a Dry Location
Humidity and cleaning products don’t mix. Keep them out of humid spaces—bathrooms and laundry rooms—to keep bottles from warping, labels from peeling, and solutions to reduce their effectiveness. Instead, find a cool, dry place, such as a hallway closet or a kitchen cabinet, to store all these products, which will help keep them in good shape.
Use Caddies & See-Through Containers for Access
A good cleaning caddy can really make a difference! Pack it with your go-to products so you can carry it from room to room without juggling a bunch of bottles. For supplies you don’t reach for as frequently—such as specialty cleaners—keep them in clear containers soo that you can see at a glance what’s inside without having to dig around.
Organize Supplies by Room for Easy Cleaning
Rather than store all your cleaning products in one massive pile, organize items by room. Keep bathroom cleaners in one labeled container, and do the same for kitchen cleaners. This will keep you from hunting down the right product each time you clean and will keep everything in its proper place.
Maximize Space Behind Cabinet Doors
Don’t forget about the inside of cabinet or closet doors! If you have door storage, look for over-the-door organizers with pockets or hooks, which can hold dusters, microfiber cloths, gloves or even spray bottles. It’s an effective use of vertical space, and it hides your supplies but keeps them handy.
Organize Under-Sink for a Neater Space
Without a decent system, the area under your sink can become a cluttered disaster. A two-tier organizer with pull-out drawers or adjustable dividers can effectively double your storage space and keep you organized. It will help keep sponges, sprays, and brushes separate while also preventing messy spills.
