Homeowner using a caddy for organizing your cleaning supplies

How to Organize Cleaning Supplies

Keeping your home clean and organized is a great way to help boost your productivity. It also helps you reduce stress and feel your best day in and day out. Of course, deciding to maintain a tidy home is only half the battle. Finding a cleaning system that works for you is equally important. If you are striving to keep your home spotless this year, organizing your cleaning supplies the right way can help. Check out these creative tips from Murphy Door to stash your cleaning supplies and keep your home clean all year long.

Use a Caddy for Everyday Supplies

Just like your dinnerware and wardrobe, you likely have cleaning supplies that you use on a daily basis and others that you only use occasionally. Separating the two can make it easier to clean quickly and efficiently. The seldom-used cleaning supplies that you use for deep cleaning purposes can be put away on the top shelf of your laundry room or bathroom closet. 

Everyday cleaning supplies should be in an easy-to-reach spot. This could be under your sink or on an easy to reach shelf of your laundry room. For added convenience, place them all together in a caddy; this will make moving from room to room in your home with everything you need a breeze.

Make Use of Space Behind Doors

The space behind your doors is an ideal spot to store cleaning supplies. This space is easily accessible and convenient. This means you'll save time and effort searching for your glass cleaner when you need it. But it's also perfect for keeping the rest of your home stylish. After all, cleaning products and paper towels aren't the most attractive things to look at. 

The pockets of behind-the-door shoe racks are a great option to hold everything from spray bottles to trash bags. Also, hooks work well to keep brooms, mops, and dusters off the floor. There are many behind the door caddies to keep small items neatly tucked away.

Keep Bulky Cleaning Tools in "Wasted" Space

Some items are harder than others to keep organized. You can't store a bulky vacuum cleaner on the back of your laundry room door. For items that don't fit nicely on a shelf, drawer, or door, consider how you can use the "wasted" space of your home to keep them out of sight but easily accessible. The corner of your pantry, laundry room, or closet could work nicely. 

When all else fails, don't overlook your garage. Designating a small area in your garage is a wonderful option to store your cleaning supplies neatly without cluttering your indoor cabinets and closets. If you do store your cleaning supplies and equipment in the garage, be sure to position them in a spot that will stay dry.
