If you're like most people, at one time or another, your bathroom accessories, like curling irons, have exploded in a cluttered heap on your vanity counter. Thankfully, there's an affordable Dollar Tree hack, an essential household item, that, if used cleverly, can rid your bathroom counters of that pile of errant curling irons once and for all.

Just know that you shouldn't go traipsing into the bathroom aisle of Dollar Tree to find this bathroom essentials organizer. Rather, you'll need to look in the aisle where you find the mops and brooms and secure yourself an Essentials Anti-Slip Mop and Broom Holder. This item has a self-adhesive strip and measures 9.25 inches by 1.7 inches. Most bathroom cabinet doors are about 11.5 inches wide. One broom holder should fit neatly inside the boundaries of the door. Each hanger holds two items, so If you own a number of different curling irons or have one like the Ufree Store's 5-in-1 curling iron wand set with five detachable heads, you'll need to hang enough of the broom holders to accommodate the wand's different attachments.

Using this example, you'll need to hang up at least three broom holders on the inside of your bathroom door cabinets. One will stash the wand plus one of the heads, while the remaining attachments will go on the other mop holders with one spot left over. On a related note, be aware that the heat from a curling iron can be intense – sometimes, up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit or higher – so allow your irons to cool down completely before hanging them up in your cabinet.

This genius Dollar Tree organizing hack is easy to set up because the broom and mop holders come with a self-adhesive back. All you need to do is peel it off and stick it onto the inside of your cabinet door. You should not need any extra tape or glue to secure it.

That said, you may need to do some measuring of the doors, depending on how many Dollar Tree broom holders you plan on using. The idea is that you want them to be spaced far enough away from each other and the sides of the cabinet doors so as not to be obstructed in any way. The average cabinet is about 24 inches high, give or take. You'll need to work within those parameters if you want to hang more than one broom and mop organizer inside your bathroom cabinets.

Finally, do note that this hack is good for decluttering your bathroom cabinets, in general, not just for getting rid of your curling iron heap. Anything that's rounded and about the size of a broom handle will work for this. That means you could put one on the wall beside the mirror to hang up a couple of electric toothbrushes and a round tube of toothpaste. Cushioned paddle decorative hair brushes and duo massaging facial brushes from Dollar Tree would also benefit from being organized together on a couple of these. The system is handy both inside and outside your bathroom cabinets. You basically just need enough space to hang up the broom organizer, and you're golden.
