4 GRAB AND GO
Keep cleaning supplies
in a sturdy handled
caddy. (This one is the
top of our two-tier
storage basket.) Limit
it to kitchen cleaners
only; store the rest
where they’re used.
5 BAR NONE
An over-the-door
towel bar puts a dish
towel at your fingertips
(and no nail holes in
your cabinets).

6 WASTE NOT
Catch recyclables in
a small wastebasket.
Get one that’s shallow
enough to fit in front
of the disposal.
7 SWEPT AWAY
A mini whisk broom
and dustpan set is
handy for sweeping
crumbs off the
countertop or small
messes off the floor.
Stick it up with an
adhesive hook.
8 IN THE BAG
Hang a dispenser and
you’ll be more likely to
reuse those ubiquitous
plastic bags.

9 EXTRA EXTRA
Store spare supplies,
like sponges, scrubbers,
and cloths, out of their
packaging to save
space,
Smart Reuse:
Shoe Drawers
It’s almost like they were made
for organizing under the sink.
Plastic shoe storage drawers are
clear so you can see what you’ve
got, water-resistant so leaky pipes
won’t spoil the sponges, and
stackable so you can go as high
up as your cabinet will allow.
