Simple Ways to Organize Cabinets and Closets
Clutter in cabinets and closets wastes time and money, since it is easy to buy things you already have. A simple system keeps everything in view.
Sort before you store
Take everything out, group similar items together and get rid of anything expired or unused.
Use baskets and bins
Baskets keep small items together and make it easy to pull a whole group off a shelf. Label them so everyone in the house knows where things go.
Store cleaning products safely
Keep cleaners and laundry products up high or in a locked cabinet, away from children and pets, and always in their original containers.
Keep a routine
- Put frequently used items at eye level.
- Keep a first aid kit and flashlight where they are easy to grab.
- Do a quick reset once a month.
- Write a shopping list before you buy more.
