The Genius DIY Bathroom Organizer That Makes Cleaning More Convenient

Keeping your bathroom clean can be a never-ending struggle if you don't have a good way to keep your cabinets and countertops free from clutter. Throwing away old or expired products is, of course, a great way to start solving this problem. But what will really fix it is giving all of the items that you're not going to toss a dedicated home with your vanity, medicine cabinet, or linen closet. For example, you could sort hygiene products into baskets within your drawers. Or, even better, you could DIY an organizer for all of your cleaning supplies so that they're easy to reach the next time you need to scrub things down. You can do this with a clear office filing box, a pair of tall plastic cups, and a container or two for small items.

Putting together your bathroom cleaning kit is a relatively straightforward process. All you need to do is hot glue your cups and containers to the inside of the file box in the arrangement that best suits your supplies. From there, you can fill up the organizer with brushes, microfiber cloths, or spray bottles. Everything will be easy to find, which will end up making bathroom cleaning much faster. Plus, since the box is transparent, you can easily reference what's in it without having to take it out of the cabinet all the way. The completed DIY will ultimately make it easier than ever to deep clean your bathroom and actually keep it clean.

Before you decide what plastic file organizer you're going to purchase for this DIY, you might want to take an inventory of your cleaning supplies to determine how big the box should be. Additionally, you should measure the space where you're planning to put it beforehand to make sure the organizer's going to fit. Your brushes and scrubbers can go in the cups that you're gluing down on the inside. Items like trash bags and pumice stones, meanwhile, can go in the small containers. Disinfectant spray, glass cleaner, and wipes can sit inside the file box wherever there's space. You can hang other spray bottles or a dust pan on the outside of the organizer as well. If you need more space for cleaning supplies, you could try a clever and affordable storage hack with tension rods for the area below your bathroom sink.

If you're going to put your cleaning supplies kit below your sink, you might want to avoid putting paper products in it. Paper towels, toilet paper, and other similar items can quickly become unusable if there's any leaking water or excess humidity within the space. Additionally, you should avoid hanging wet cloths or rags on the outside of your file box, since they won't dry if you're keeping the organizer in a cabinet or other closed compartment. Want to store and organize cleaning supplies in your kitchen? This DIY should work perfectly for that task as well.
