Try A Genius Dollar Tree Shower Hook Hack To Save Space Storing Cleaning Supplies

If you've ever opened your storage closet and had a broom fall on you, then you might be storing your cleaning products all wrong. When it comes to storing cleaning tools, such as brooms, mops, and dusters, it can be hard to keep them organized. More often than not, these tools are shoved into a random corner or closet with no rhyme or reason. This messy storage can lead to you not cleaning as often as you want, simply because digging for the right tool can be a hassle. So if you're looking for smarter ways to store and organize cleaning supplies out of sight, look no further than shower curtain rings.

Shower curtain rings are easy to find and affordable — you may have a few spares lying around the house right now. If not, you can grab a 12-pack of Dollar Tree Home Collection clear plastic shower curtain rings for $1.50. Using these rings for storing cleaning supplies is not just a genius tip to use for a perfectly decluttered closet, but it also makes grabbing your tools easier than ever, taking down a potential barrier that may be keeping you from cleaning regularly.

For this particular hack, try finding the shower rings that snap closed. While not entirely necessary, the snap closure will just make everything a bit more secure. Once you have your rings, start attaching them to your most commonly used cleaning supplies. Most items like brooms, scrub brushes, dusters, and mops have a small loop at the end of the handle, which works perfectly for this. Once your shower curtain rings are attached to your tools, it's time to find a place to hang them.

If you have a dedicated cleaning closet already, you can hang your tools on the rod so they are easy to push out of the way when needed. If you normally store your cleaning tools in a random corner of your home, you can try installing a tension rod between two wall cavities — a chase wall or a pilaster would work great. Additionally, you could try using a temporary coat or garment rack instead. To save even more space, try attaching all the tools to a coat hanger that can hang in the closet or from a hook on the wall — just be careful about adding too much weight. In addition to hanging larger cleaning tools, you can also use this hack to hang a bag of old rags or sponges up and out of the way.
