Home Organization: Laundry Soap Solution

100_3931

The other day I was doing something that I do all the time:  yep, laundry.  And I started noticing how dirty the top of my washer and dryer were-ewwww.  And I got on a cleaning kick.  And one thing led to another…until I found a simple and affordable home organization and cleaning solution.  I went to Target and spent just a few dollars to purchase the clear drainboard shown above. 

I cleaned the top of my washer and dryer and made one small tweak.  I moved my laundry soap and fabric softener from the top of the dryer over to the top of the washing machine.  That makes more sense, I am using it in the washer, not the dryer!  Funny how you just set something somewhere and that turns into it’s home.  So never stop looking at how you are doing things and making improvements on placing items closest to where you are using them. 

Now my laundry soap and fabric softener sit on the clear drainboard.  This helps keep my washing machine top clean and it makes it easier to catch little drips and spills.  A quick and easy solution to laundry room organization!

Organizing Products for the Laundry Room

fl11Good organizing products can really help you stretch your storage space and keep your laundry room or laundry closet in good shape.  Many of us don’t have an entire room dedicated to our laundry area and have to make do with a small space for a chore that isn’t loved by many!

I personally only have a laundry closet.  We have stretched our space by adding two wire shelves above the washer & dryer to store cleaning and paper supplies.  I have also found a triple laundry hamper sorter to be extremely helpful.  It fits next to the washing machine and we can separate whites, darks and towels before they ever hit the washing machine.

Another helpful product to stretch space is a drying rack that pulls out from the wall.  Just push it out of the way when you are done!ft3

Give these organizing products a try and organize your laundry room by stretching your space!

How to Organize a Small Laundry Room

fl1

Space contraints can have a big impact on how to organize a small laundry room.  If you have a small laundry space follow these guidelines:

  • Keep only laundry/cleaning related items in the space.  Remove all the extras you are storing that don’t belong.
  • Maximize all available space such as wall space for hanging shelving and the ironing board.
  • Pick your favorite products and pass on the rest to someone else.  You do not need five kinds of spot remover and three brands of bleach.  One of each will do!

Check out the great laundry supply cart above!  This is an excellent way to maximize your storage in a small space.  This chrome cart will hold a lot of supplies and it’s on wheels so it’s easy to pull it out to get what you need or even push it into the room you are cleaning.

Follow these guidelines on how to organize a small laundry room and it will make the chore of doing laundry at least a little less painful!
