Smarter Ways To Store Your Cleaning Supplies Away From Children

Storing cleaning supplies under the sink is a common thing. Everybody knows it.

Wait! It means your children also know.

Don’t worry. Here are some safer alternatives to under-sink storage for your cleaning supplies.

Store Vertically Behind Doors

Cleaning supplies like brooms and mops can easily be stored behind closed doors. You can use hooks and spring clamps to hang brooms, mops, dustpans, dusters, and small scrubbers.

You can also install towel bars to hang spray bottles.

If you wish for removable storage, you can always choose to hang a shoe bag with clear pockets. You can store cleaner bottles, cloths, and brushes in these clear bags.

Besides, you can also use over-the-door storage racks with narrow shelves to store your supplies. For added safety, you can also add a bungee cord to prevent your supplies from falling down.

Well, we certainly don’t want to add more cabinets to your kitchen or storage space. Obviously, it can cost you hundreds of dollars. Besides, it might not be worth installing new cabinets just for storing your cleaning supplies.

Adding a small utility cart or using caddies and bins is yet another way to store your cleaning supplies smartly. Not only would these be handy in organizing your supplies would also be easy to store.
