Organizing cleaning supplies
Jun 30, 2008
I've had some questions on how I organize my cleaning supplies so I thought I'd give you the grand tour.
I've said it before but here I go again, keep your stuff where you use it! This basically means I have cleaning things in several places in our little house. The photo above shows the cleaning section of my broom cabinet in the kitchen. Here I keep the things I use to clean the upstairs and kitchen.
In a super narrow cabinet in the tiny upstairs bathroom there is just enough space for some cleaning products. I don't use the original packaging, but find smaller containers to fill instead.
In a Muji container in the downstairs bathroom I also keep some. Again in smaller prettier containers than the original.
In the garage there is a wire shelving system and on the top shelf I keep old used dish clothes and scouring pads which I've laundered. I use them once more on garage projects, like wiping down newly sanded boards or cleaning the bike. After that I toss them. There are also some cleaning products there.
In the downstairs pantry I keep the bulk containers of cleaning products, a supply of scouring pads and dish washing brushes etc.
There you have it!
