Organized Cleaning Products

The other day while doing some housework I realized that I have a TON of cleaning products. Like way too much. 

I keep the products that I need for specific areas usually in or around that room.

For instance, bathroom products are in the bathroom closet, kitchen products in the kitchen under the sink, etc…

However, they weren’t really contained, and I felt like they were wasting a lot of space.

So a quick run to the Dollar Tree to buy a few handled baskets and I quickly was able to tweak my storage system dilemma.

I gathered ALL of my cleaning products from every room…I have a ridiculous amount, I know…I plan to downsize my collection to what I really only use and like, but for now I’m just going to use everything up. No point in wasting right?

Notice my “Pet Smell Be Gone” in there?! Yep, I’m still making that stuff. It works on pretty much every stinky odor you can imagine so I always keep it on hand.

holes

Another thing I did was rummage through my husband’s shirts for dingy, stained, and holey culprits that could restock my “cleaning cloth” collection.

For those of you who don’t know, old t-shirts seriously make the best cleaning cloths, and you can get about 6 from each one.

sorted

Once I had all of my products divided into the four baskets, sorted by rooms like this…

1. Master Bathroom

2. Guest Bathroom

3. Kitchen

4. Household

I decided to label them as well.

Even though it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, these baskets have definitely made my household cleaning tasks more efficient. Now instead of taking one bottle of out at a time I take out the whole basket designated for its room and have everything right at my fingertips.

Don’t you love simple tweaks that make life a lot easier? I sure do…

And if you haven’t been here before then make sure to check out my daily cleaning check list, and spring cleaning chart before you go. Both are free printables!

Talk to you soon!

    I keep all my cleaning supplies in a pail too. It really makes it easy.

    Labels are such a good time saver for so many things! I like the idea of the basket. Mine are currently in a box, so I have to pull it out to see what is in it.

    I like the idea of having one of those nice baskets in each bathroom full of products to be used there. Only trouble is only one mop for both bathrooms. This would help me as well as our cleaning lady we have come every other Monday. She pays attention to details and works very efficiently and thorough. Leaves this house sparkling but in 3 days it’s back where it was when she came to clean. We are bad about putting things back and picking up behind ourselves. I spend a lot of time doing laundry almost every day. Haven’t figured out if we are the dirtiest people or the cleanest. Clean laundry is a must for me. Because my DH has some health issues, I must do laundry every day, sometimes twice a day.
    Such is life; I do what I have to do!
