Cabinets currently cluttered with all-purpose spray bottles, scrubbing brushes, and microfiber cloths? There's an item lurking on a Dollar Tree shelf that offers a smart way to store and organize cleaning supplies out of sight. Whether you keep these products and tools under the bathroom or kitchen sink — or both, depending on how much space you have — Dollar Tree has a $6 solution. This genius hack doesn't utilize every inch of cabinet storage space. You simply use the product the way it was intended. In fact, it's so ordinary that chances are you've been walking right past it without realizing its potential. We're talking about Dollar Tree's C.O.S. Plastic Two-Stack Rack, and its potential to corral the cleaning-supply chaos happening under your sink.
With this Dollar Tree organizer, which measures just under 15 inches high, 16 inches long, and a little over 7 inches wide, you can finally stop reaching way back into the cabinet for that container of Comet. Instead, you can store everything neatly together. Sounds pretty great, right? If you're struggling to find the rack in store, check the Dollar Tree Plus section, where the slightly higher-priced items usually live. That's all you really need, but if you want to take your organizational skills up a notch, you can also grab a pack of Pikabeast Self-adhesive Mini Caster Wheels. They'll make maneuvering the shelf easier once it's in place under your sink. Some spray paint might also be a good idea if you want to give the rack a pop of color or coordinate it with your existing décor.
Restore order under your sink with this $6 Dollar Tree rack
Once you've got the Dollar Tree two-stack rack, put it together. You won't need any tools for assembly. Don't attach the set of transparent legs to the bottom shelf. This ensures the shelf fits neatly under a sink in your cabinet and can be pulled in and out with ease. (A standard sink stands 34 to 36 inches from the ground.) After you've assembled the shelf, decide if you want to spray paint it. A top spray paint tip for your furniture makeover is choosing the right spray paint for the material — in this case, a paint that will cover plastic without scratching. We're partial to Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Pearl Metallic Spray Paint in Champagne Pink. Make sure your first one or two coats fully cover the shelf.
Once the paint is dry, you can add the self-adhesive mini caster wheels. Stick them onto the four corners of the bottom shelf. You could even add one in the center if you have extra. Now it's time to stock your organizer. Store larger, heavier items — like Dawn and Ajax dish soap, Comet, and even that aerosol dust remover you always lose — on the bottom tier where there's more clearance. You can probably fit around eight cleaner bottles, depending on their size. Reserve the top tier for smaller items, like The Pink Stuff tubs, rags, gloves, dishwasher pods, and garbage bags. Then, just like that, you have yourself a bespoke cleaning-supply station under your sink. Since these Dollar Tree racks are so budget-friendly, grab another for the bathroom and repeat the process.
