Organise Your Cleaning Supplies Like a Pro

August 28, 2025

This is a subtitle for your new post

Ever found yourself elbow-deep in a messy cupboard just to find the glass cleaner? Or bought another sponge because you couldn’t spot the spare? You’re not alone. A cluttered stash slows you down and makes cleaning feel way harder than it needs to be.


The good news: with a little organisation, your supplies can be as neat as the sparkling spaces you’re aiming for. Here’s how to set yourself up like a pro:

1. Start Fresh

Pull everything out of your cupboard, caddy, or shelves. Check expiry dates, ditch anything leaking or past its best, and be ruthless—if you haven’t touched it in a year, you don’t need it taking up space.

2. Sort by Job

Group products by what they do:

  • Bathroom cleaners
  • Kitchen sprays and degreasers
  • Glass & surface sprays
  • Floor products
  • Tools: brushes, cloths, sponges

This way, you grab what you need without rummaging.

3. Get Some Caddies or Clear Bins

Labelled bins or handled caddies are a game-changer. Want to clean the bathroom? Just grab the “bathroom” caddy and off you go. No fuss, no hunting.

4. Keep It Handy

Put your everyday go-tos front and centre—things like multi-purpose spray or dish soap. Less-used or bulky bits (like floor polish) can live down low.

5. Use Hooks & Racks

Don’t waste cupboard space! Add hooks or a rack to hang brooms, dustpans, gloves, or brushes. It keeps tools dry, easy to reach, and off the floor.

6. Label It

Clear labels on bins, bottles, or shelves make it foolproof for anyone in the house to find—and return—supplies.

7. Restock Regularly

At the start of each month, do a quick stocktake. Add essentials like bin bags, wipes, or detergent to your shopping list before you’re caught short.

In the hustle of everyday cleaning, it’s easy to grab a spray bottle and get to work — but what if that bottle isn’t labeled? Mixing up products like bleach, vinegar, or all-purpose cleaner can damage surfaces, ruin your hard work, or worse — pose a serious health risk.
