Cleaning is a routine part of everyone’s life and some of us even love it a lot as it’s a great stress reducer. Where to place all the cleaning supplies and tools, which can be many? Make a cleaning closet or take some pantry to use it as one and put all your stuff there. How to organize it effectively? Here are some ideas.

Small Cleaning Closet Organization

If you literally don’t have space for a whole cleaning closet, you may go for a pull-out drawer in the entryway or kitchen. This way you’ll take advantage of vertical space and place all the necessary stuff there. Attach some hooks or racks to hold brooms and some metal racks for the supplies and voila. One more idea is a small and shallow cleaning closet that can be placed in some dead space, for example, behind the door. You can make it tall and wide enough to hold everything necessary, and the organization can be eaisly done if you attach a pegboard. If you have a pantry with doors, you can also attach all the cleaning supplies to them using a pegboard or some racks and hooks.
