Get The Cabinet Under Your Sink Neat And Organized With 14 Dollar Tree Items
The cabinet under your sink can be a nightmare, especially if you don't have the proper organization tools. Think about what's under there, not including the pipes, and you'll likely realize it's various cleaning products, paper towels, toilet paper, and a ton of other mystery items. It's a lot to organize, isn't it? Taming this pit of chaos doesn't have to be hard or expensive — just visit the Dollar Tree. The retail store has multiple products that will let you add some storage and function to these cramped spaces, all without the high price tag of specialty organization brands.
Both in-store and online, you'll find $1.25 essentials perfect for managing all of that would-be clutter. From clear stacking drawers to woven plastic bins, there's plenty to use for a tidier under-sink storage space, whether in the bathroom or the kitchen. With them set in place, you won't waste time hunting for that dishwasher pod or a random bottle of lotion because everything will have a designated spot. You'll also be able to maximize your space, which is crucial in cabinets where every inch is precious. You might already have a few of these Dollar Tree staples in your home, but take a closer look, because they offer endless versatility. Make a few smart buys, and you'll be able to tame the abyss underneath your cabinets with these helpful items.
Organize lotion and body wash in fridge can holders
Often jumbled in the mishmash of things underneath your sink are various body care products, such as lotion, body wash, or shaving cream. Head near the food storage aisle in your local Dollar Tree and grab a Storage Essentials Soda Can Organizer. The unique shape of these lets you stash several bottles of product, and because they stack, you can easily optimize your storage. You can store your products vertically or horizontally, too.
Hang a mop and broom holder to hang styling tools
Keep your styling tools handy in the bathroom cabinet with the retailer's Essentials Anti Slip Mop and Broom Holder. You can place it on the inside of your cabinet door using the included adhesive, and it will create the perfect space for holding curling irons and hair straighteners. This way, you can utilize otherwise wasted space and make it easier to get ready in the morning. No more digging through drawers for the straightener? Perfect! Just remember to let the tools cool after use before you hang them up again.
Place hair dryers in Dollar Tree's classroom book bins
Hair dryers are often bulky and can vary in size. Instead of letting your hair dryer take up a bunch of space in the few bathroom drawers you have, or sit on the sink edge, try this. The Dollar Tree Teaching Tree Plastic Book Bins found in the school supplies section are the perfect solution. You can curl your cord up and set the hair dryer in to quickly access it. The slim, tall design is an excellent space-saver.
Keep products within easy reach with a turntable
Some people opt to store their cleaning products for the bathroom underneath their sink. Instead of having those items mixed in with all of your personal care products, give them their own space with a turntable or lazy Susan. The Storage Essentials Rotating Kitchen Turntable is commonly used for spices, but it has more versatility than you can imagine in under-sink cabinets, especially if you have products of varying sizes and shapes. Or you can use it for storing hair care — your choice!
Store multiple products or hand towels in a stacking shelf
There's no end to what you can store in the Two-Stack Organizational Shelves. Sold in two pieces, it lets you build up and use vertical space well especially in smaller cabinets. The wide dimensions can house rolled up hand towels, various lotions, nail polish, and even your hair tools. Consider also the $5.00 Stackable Container which measures 19x14x10 if the other option isn't in stock.
Use plastic bins for organizing towels
Whether it's towels, sun care products, bath toys, or anything else you need to keep tidy, a go-to for storage from Dollar Tree is the Square Dry-Erase Locker Bin. You can store what you need, then mark it on the side with a dry erase marker to display its contents. However, don't despair if your store doesn't have it in stock — the retailer has other options, including another Plastic Locker Bin With Handles. To take better advantage of your vertical space, you can even make Dollar Tree bins stackable with a little hack.
Turn a stackable drawer into cabinet door storage
You can keep your Swedish cloths or scrub pads organized in a bin, but another option is to grab one of the Essentials Clear Plastic Desktop Organizing Drawer. This sliding drawer set easily comes apart into two pieces so you can stash your cleaning tools easily. Attach it to the interior door with a set of Tool Bench Removable Picture Strips. This is a great way to organize both cloths and sponges without having to worry about them falling off of a hook or towel bar.
Use Dollar Tree jar options to house dishwasher pods
Although made for washing dishes, there are plenty of alternative ways to use dishwasher tablets around your home, so it's great to keep them handy. The Caterer's Corner Plastic Candy Jar can typically hold a box of tablets, as can the Plastic Containers With Screw-Top Lids. A more substantial and larger option can be found in the Classic Glass Storage Jar. Clear containers also make it easier to see when you're due for a refill and eliminate the frustrating surprise of reaching into an empty box.
Store sponges and more in a hanging basket
Dollar Tree sells various basket sizes perfect for storing your smaller kitchen items under the sink. Use a package of adhesive hooks such as their Plastic Removable Wall Hooks, which can hold 0.2 lbs each. Slide the basket over the hooks, then attach it to the inside of the cabinet door or wall to create hanging storage for sponges and scrub brushes. You'll be able to see if you're running out of something more easily because the basket will be front and center, not shoved in the back.
Hang cleaning products on a broom holder
If you regularly store cleaning products in spray bottles, such as glass cleaner, use the Essentials Anti Slip Mop and Broom Holder from Dollar Tree on the inside of your under-sink kitchen cabinet. The holder can grip the products easily, and will allow you to also hang a scrub brush or other cleaning tool for quick access. You'll save yourself the trouble of having to dig through various items to retrieve your cleaner any time you need to wipe up a mess.
Keep smaller items organized with stacking drawers
Face wipes, lotion, razors, bandages, and more can be organized neatly within multiple Dollar Tree stackable drawers, available from $1.25 to $5.00, depending on the size. They all feature a clear design so you can see what you need, and you can easily label them as well. The Two-Tier Plastic Drawers With Handles are small and compact, perfect for first aid or hair supplies. If you can't find those in stores — they are quite popular — the Essentials Clear Plastic Desktop Organizers are a suitable substitute.
A dish rack combined with a towel bar can store plastic wrap and other kitchen needs
A Dollar Tree towel bar adds more storage to your cabinets, especially when you place one of the store's wire dish racks on top. Hang the Essentials Adjustable Over-the-Counter Towel Bar on your cabinet door, then grab an Essentials White Wire Dish Drying Rack and attach it on top, bending the wires to make it grab tight. Slide boxes for parchment paper, plastic wrap, or plastic bags into the slots you've created.
Keep scrub brushes on a removable hook
A good scrub brush is a must for any bathroom or kitchen, but it's common to end up tossing them into your cabinet with no real sense of organization. Finding them when it's time to scrub up is a little easier if you use a set of Dollar Tree Plastic Removable Wall Hooks on the inside of the cabinet door. At $1.25 for a pack of three, you can create a functional storage solution without shelling out a ton of cash.
Repurpose a pen holder into storage for small bathroom needs
One of the most versatile options for organizing your bathroom cabinet can be found in the office supplies section of Dollar Tree. The Plastic Desktop 3-Tier Pen Holder (sometimes available in a four-tier option) is ideal for holding all of those smaller items that may get lost. Use it organize necessities like lip balm, hair ties, and tweezers so you can capture valuable vertical space.
