When is the last time you gave your hairbrushes and combs a good cleaning? If you can’t remember, its been too long. A friend of mine who is a hair stylist recommends that you clean them (at home) at least once a month. By keeping …
Over the past few years, I’ve confessed on this blog many times that I’m a neat & clean freak. Matter of fact, you’ll find an entire section here on the blog that is dedicated to cleaning tips and cleaning product reviews. In my opinion, keeping a clean and organized home helps to save time and it definitely helps to cut down on the spread of germs.
When it comes to organizing your cleaning closet for the first time, you need to take everything out of it…give it a good cleaning and then start organizing it. You always want to make sure you toss out the old & expired products and if you need plastic bins and other items to organize things on a shelf…hit up the Dollar Store for those items. In addition, if you have small children & pets in the house…invest in some type of lock for the door, which will keep everyone safe!
I love to shop on Amazon and today, I thought I would share some of my favorite items to help get your cleaning closet organized. Please read my disclosure located at the bottom of this blog post.
1. SySrion Mop and Broom Holder is an item that I personally own! I got this item for review recently and absolutely LOVE it! You can hang it on a wall or on the back of a door. It will hold up to 11 cleaning tools, including mops, brooms, dust pans, duster wands, etc. You can hang up your items via the hooks and slide the handles of your brooms & mops into the slots for easy access. This keeps all of your items organized and stored in one place! Plus, if you use a mop…by hanging it up to dry, it will dry quicker and without any nasty smells! It’s currently out of stock but if it comes back in…I’ll update this post with the link.
2. Pro-Mart DAZZ Rubberized Pop-Up Caddy is a great caddy to fill up with all of your cleaning supplies and take it room-to-room with you as you clean. It has 7 compartments to hold your cleaning solution bottles, dusting cloths, paper towels, etc. Gotta love that easy carrying handle too. You can collapse it flat for storage or let all of your products sit inside it and on a shelf for when you need them.
3. mDesign AFFIXX, Peel-and-Stick Adhesive Organizer for Laundry & Utility Room is a great little item for those of you who are limited on space. I love that it’s made out of clear acrylic and you can easily see your items sitting inside it, plus…you don’t have to drill any holes or slam any nails into your walls or the back of your door to use it. Just peel & stick! A great item to hold your smaller cleaning bottles, sponges, SOS pads, scrubbies, lint rollers, etc.
4. Slim Storage Cabinet Organizer Rolling Pull Out Cart Rack Tower with Wheels features 3 shelves and is designed to fit in narrow spaces. I have one just like this that sits in my cleaning closet. I can wheel it out when I need to and I can quickly see the product that I want and get on my way. You can also slide it in between a narrow space like between 2 cabinets in your kitchen or between your washer & dryer in the laundry room. Matter of fact, that’s a great idea, so now I need a second one for my laundry room!
5. Pro-Mart DAZZ 42-Pocket Over-the-Door Organizer is absolutely fantastic for those of you who are really limited on space. It can go over any closet door in your home. This organizer features 42 spacious double mesh pockets and would be a great item to hold your cleaning products, dusting polishes, extra clean sponges, scrubbies, dusting cloths, extra dusting heads, etc. You know, all of those medium to smaller sized products that you need to get organized, but yet keep them handy!
I personally own the exact item mentioned in tip #1 and you can see a photo of it hanging inside my cleaning closet. I got it for a review a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVE IT! Matter of fact, hubby wants another one so that he can hang it in the garage to hang up his rakes, snow shovels & other yard work tools.
While I don’t own the EXACT other items I’ve mentioned in this feature today, I do own similar products to the ones that I’m suggesting to help get your cleaning closets organized. What products do you use to help get things organized and cleaned up? Got an favorites?

Professional home cleaning is beneficial for mothers who have busy schedules that prevent them from having enough time to clean their homes.

I admit, I’m not a huge fan of mini blinds. While I do enjoy how they look in certain rooms, I’m not happy about how hard they are to clean. Luckily for us, only two of our three bedrooms have them and I’ve figured out …
How many of you just toss those old metal and plastic shower curtain hooks and rings away? How many of you just toss them into a drawer and forget about them? Well, I’m here today to give you some creative ideas on how you can reuse and repurpose those shower curtain hooks & rings to help you get more organized around the house or to come up with some crafty home decor ideas. Let’s go!
1. Hook together several of the rings to form a chain. Use that chain to hang-up outdoor hanging plants, wind chimes, wind socks, crystal dangling sun-catchers, etc. When using them outdoor, I prefer to use the plastic rings, because they won’t rust like metal rings.
2. Looking to hang up outdoor solar lights and solar lanterns for a party? If you want them to hang lower, you can form a chain (like above) and hang them from a Shepherd’s Hook, clothesline or plant hook.
3. If you have bird feeders that you want to hang down lower from a tree or hanging hook, connect 4-5 hooks together to make a chain. I prefer using neutral colored hooks or green hooks to blend in with the tree branches. Hang your bird feeder from the end of the hook. By having them hang a little lower, they’ll be easier for you to refill with birdseed later on.
4. Attach several plastic shower curtain hooks to a clothing hanger to get your accessories organized. You can hang up your tank tops, tights, pantyhose, belts, scarves, bras, etc. Plus, by hanging your accessories on the hanger like this…you’ll save on closet and drawer space!
5. Do you find hubby’s belts, neckties and scarves lying on the floor in the closet? Hang them up using the method described above to get them organized and to save space! Plus, neckties that are hung-up and not thrown in a drawer will be wrinkle-free when he needs them!
6. Need curtain tie-backs? You can decorate your curtain rings with beautiful charms, silk flowers and other items. Slide them up over the curtain or drapery panel and you’ve got yourself some custom-made curtain tie-backs!
7. Little girls love jewelry, so give them a few plastic rings to wear as colorful bangle bracelets! If they’re a little older & want to get crafty, let them glue some silk flowers onto the top of each bangle for some additional fun!
8. Love the bangle bracelet idea? Get crafty and decorate those plastic or metal rings to turn them into beautiful napkin rings for your dinning room table.
9. Looking for a better way to store those small accent (throw) rugs? Tightly roll each rug up and then secure the rolled rug with a round shower curtain hook. This will keep the rug from unrolling and you can easily store them on a shelf, on the floor of a closet or underneath a bed.
10. Do you line-dry your clothes during the warmer months of the year? If so, attach several plastic rings do your clothesline. When you need to hang bras, tank tops, pantyhose, tights and other delicate items out to dry, hang them through the hook. By doing this, you’ll get no creases on the garment from using a clothespin and you won’t risk snagging up your delicate fabric.
11. Need to get things organized in the garage, basement, attic and/or workshop? My husband uses the old shower curtain hooks to organize his extension cords, jumper cables, holiday light strings and other items. By feeding the items through the hooks, they’re easier for him to hang up or to keep the sorted items together.
12. Got a hunter or outdoorsman in the family? My sister-in-law mates together all of my brother’s thick hunting (wool) socks with the plastic shower curtain rings. She can easily pack them away in a bin for next season and keep them mated together.
Bonus 13. If you have plastic shower curtain rings that you no longer need, let the kids use them in the swimming pool as diving rings! Some of them are just heavy enough to float to the bottom of the shallow end of the pool that they can dive for! Others will be too light and will float. You’ll have to test it out to see if your’s will work!
There are a ton of different ways you can repurpose and reuse those metal and plastic shower curtain hooks! Instead of tossing them away, get creative and come up with some of your own ideas too!
