Organizing Your Cleaning Supplies

I have been blessed with an awesome laundry room. It has two full size double door cabinets in it each with three shelves. This works really well for me for a couple of reasons. First of all, our laundry room is next to our kitchen, but is separated by a baby gate. This means that I can store all of my cleaning supplies here because they are above the washer/dryer and behind a baby gate. I guess I could go the extra step and put locks on the cabinets, but I haven't yet. The other reason that this really works for me is that since I do the grocery game, I have lots of extra cleaning supplies on hand.

This summer while I was on maternity leave, I decided I needed to organize it even more. So, I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of containers. I love the color red, so I was very excited when I found the red buckets and 4 of them fit very nicely on a shelf. For the big tubs, I bought dishwashing pans. Then I organized all of my cleaning supplies by room, ie. kitchen, bathroom, general (dusting and floor cleaning stuff). I made labels with my Dymo (I LOVE this thing) and put it all in my cabinets.

Since I have two cabinets in my laundry room. I use one for mainly cleaning supplies and other household odds & ends (lightbulbs, dog stuff, etc.) and the other one I use for all of my laundry supplies, again I stockpile, so I have a lot on hand.
