Decluttering and organising your cleaning products

Think about the actual cleaning products you need

The first step in creating an efficient cleaning routine is to declutter and organise your cleaning products. Begin by taking inventory of the products you regularly use in your laundry room and think about their actual necessity. Removing anything you don’t need will also free up any cupboard storage for cleaning products.

Get rid of old cleaning products and cleaning tools

Dispose of any expired or unused items to make room for the essentials. This process not only helps in reducing clutter but also ensures that you are only using effective and up-to-date cleaning solutions.

Tip:

Consider investing in multifunctional cleaning tools to replace several single-purpose items, further reducing the overall number of products you need. For instance, a high-quality microfiber cloth can be used for various cleaning tasks, eliminating the need for multiple cloths.

How to Store Cleaning Products

Cupboard Organisation

Once you've limited the number of cleaning products, it's time to focus on storing cleaning products safely. Utilise the storage space within your washing machine cupboard for cleaning products to keep them organised and easily accessible. 

Designate specific shelves or sections for different types of cleaners, such as glass cleaners, disinfectants and all-purpose solutions. This not only helps in finding what you need quickly but also prevents spillages and cross-contamination.

Consider Product Requirements

When storing cleaning products, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of each item. Store liquid cleaners upright to prevent leaks and keep them in their original, properly sealed containers. Check for compatibility issues that may arise from mixing different products and store them accordingly.

Tip:

Invest in storage containers or caddies to keep smaller items like scrub brushes, sponges and gloves together. This not only maintains a tidy appearance but also ensures that your tools remain in good condition and are readily available when needed. Labelling containers can further promote storing cleaning products safely. Plus simplify the process of locating specific items, contributing to a tidy and functional laundry space. 

Optimise your storage space

Make the most of your storage space by optimising the layout of your cleaning products. Arrange items based on frequency of use, with everyday cleaners easily accessible and seasonal or specialised products placed on higher or lower shelves. 

Safety Tip:

To prevent accidents, store cleaning products away from food items and kitchen utensils. Keep potentially harmful chemicals out of reach of children and pets by placing them on higher shelves or utilising childproof locks on cupboard doors. This is yet another reason why having a secure cupboard storage for cleaning products is essential.
