Ideas To Organize Broom Closet

Cleaning supplies are very essentials for keeping your home neat and clean. It will be inconvenient if you cannot find what you need. If you can organize the broom closet properly, you will find what you need easily. Not only easy access, organization create aesthetical value to your kitchen and your home as well. These are some tips you can use to organize your broom closet.

To organize broom and mops install a broom bar on the sidewall or the door to make putting away and removing brooms and mops a breeze. A broom bar is a strip of metal, wood or plastic with spring-loaded clips that are designed to hold the handles of brooms and mops. You can find these items at most hardware and home improvement stores. Install one on the closet door so you can store these items out of the way — but quickly pop the handles out when you need them — and leave the interior of the closet free to store other items.

To get what you need easily arrange your cleaners by room or function, and use separate buckets or caddies to line these up on the floor of the closet for easy access. For example, separate bathroom cleaners and kitchen cleaners, or sort by cleaners used for floors and those used for countertops and glass. Use different coloured buckets for each category. For example, use a red bucket for floor cleaners and blue for glass cleaners. If you buy your cleaning products in bulk, transfer them to smaller containers, and store the remainder on the top shelf of your closet.

Other ideas to organize broom closet is using containers on shelves. Since broom closets often hold large items, you have to leave enough space at the bottom of the closet to store bulky or heavy items like your vacuum or mop buckets. This usually leaves you the upper third of the closet to store smaller items. Install shelving on all three walls in this area to make it easy to keep miscellaneous items organized. Label shoeboxes or plastic bins according to the items they hold and stash these on the shelves. For example, one box might hold garbage bags while another holds dust cloths or sponges.

Install large utility by means of hooks on one side of the closet to loop your vacuum hose over so it is out of the way. While, installing hooks on the opposite wall gives you a way to store loose items such as rags. Hang a laundry bag of clean rags on one hook and hang another bag to hold used rags on a second. Toss dirty rags in the used bag to keep them separated. When the bag is full, you can remove it and wash all of your rags at once. If your closet is too small or crowded to add extra shelving, install rows of hooks or glue clothespins to the wall and use these to keep loose items such as cleaning gloves, dustpans, cleaning brushes, and dust masks organized and easy to access.
