The kitchen is maybe the busiest place in the entire house and it usually has loads of cleaning supplies and materials scattered all over the place. However any self-respecting kitchen should have its own place to store the kitchen cleaning supplies materials to be neatly out of the way.
Before actually finding storage places for your kitchen cleaning supplies, you need to take stock of what supplies and tools you have and if you need everything. A proper storage means first proper decluttering. So find all the places that you have currently stored your cleaning supplies and put them all in one place. Don’t forget other rooms like the laundry room or the bathroom if you have there also something stashed away.
Now check each of them and throw away anything that you no longer need or is already expired. It is a fact that not only food has an expiration date but also cleaning liquids and supplies. This is the decluttering time so have no regrets about throwing out anything that is no longer useful.
Next you need to actually clean your kitchen so when you store your new cleaning supplies, they go on clean and germ free places. You can use plain water and soap to clean every surface including countertops, cabinets, cuttinb boards and various containers.
Once the kitchen cleaning is complete, you can proceed to storing all your cleaning and disinfecting supplies for your kitchen.
One of the favorite places for storing kitchen cleaning products is the small place below the kitchen sink. This is well loved by anyone for storing the various cleaner liquids, paper towels, scrub brushes and even shoe polishing tools. When you have all these items at hand, it’s very easy to reach them fast when you need them, such as when there is a spill to be dried up or a countertop to be quickly cleaned after lunch. This place also lends itself to adding various door mounted shelves and racks as well as pull out shelves.
Another place that can easily store dishcloth, scouring pads and various sponges is the area around the sink. It is very easy to mount tilt-out trays that are out of sight and at the same time within easy reach. These trays make use of the space that could be very well wasted otherwise. Depending on their construction, many times all you need is to attach hinges to the tray and the actual cabinet frame to open and close the tray.
For mops and brooms you can easily add wall hangers that can even allow placing on them the ironing board. You can either screw the hangers on the wall or to the side of the cabinets. Of course you can also make use of some of these wall hangers to store your pots and pans for the kitchen. You can buy two, one for a different usage. They hardly take any space on your wall and they look quite neat as well.
Alternatively you can make use of a utility storage cabinet that you can keep specially for mops and kitchen cleaning supplies.
