Keeping your home clean shouldn’t come at the expense of a cluttered cabinet filled with half-used bottles and broken tools. Many homeowners face the challenge of managing their cleaning supplies. It leads to overflowing closets, duplicate products, and wasted time searching for what they need.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to streamline and organize your cleaning supplies, making your routine more efficient and less stressful. Plus, we’ll explore when it’s time to leave the cleaning to the pros.
Why Organizing Cleaning Supplies Matters
An unorganized cleaning supply area can make cleaning harder than it needs to be.
Cluttered spaces:
Waste time as you search for the right products.
Lead to duplicate purchases.
Create safety hazards, especially around children and pets.
Make cleaning feel like an overwhelming chore.
Organizing your cleaning supplies simplifies your life and can even make cleaning feel less like a burden.
Step 1: Take Inventory
Start by gathering all your cleaning supplies from around the house. Don’t forget places like under the sink, the laundry room, and the garage. Once everything is in one spot:
Check expiration dates. Yes, cleaning supplies can expire! Toss anything outdated.
Test products. If a cleaner has lost its effectiveness, it’s time to say goodbye.
Dispose safely. Follow local guidelines for disposing of chemicals.
Step 2: Categorize Your Supplies
Group your supplies by type or purpose:
Surface cleaners (all-purpose, glass, etc.)
Floor cleaners (wood, tile, carpet)
Bathroom-specific products
Disinfectants
Specialty cleaners (stainless steel, granite, etc.)
Tools (sponges, brushes, mops, cloths)
This helps you quickly see where you have duplicates and what you might be missing.
Step 3: Choose the Right Storage Solutions
The right storage can make all the difference:
Clear bins: Group similar items together in clear bins for easy access.
Over-the-door organizers: Perfect for small spaces like closets.
Caddies: A portable caddy lets you carry supplies from room to room.
Shelving: Adjustable shelves help you maximize vertical space.
Hooks and holders: Keep tools like mops and brooms off the floor.
Pro Tip: Store frequently used items at eye level and less-used items higher or lower.
Step 4: Implement a System
Now that everything has a home, create a system that’s easy to maintain:
Label bins and shelves so everyone knows where things go.
Limit duplicates—only keep one of each type of cleaner.
Practice “one in, one out.” If you buy a new product, discard or use up an old one.
Schedule a seasonal check-in to keep your supplies organized.
Step 5: Streamline Your Cleaning Routine
With your supplies in order, cleaning becomes faster and more efficient. But if you still find yourself short on time or overwhelmed by big cleaning tasks, that’s where the pros come in.
When to Call in Professional Cleaners
Even with organized supplies, some cleaning jobs require more time, expertise, or tools than the average homeowner has. Consider hiring professional cleaners when:
You’re preparing for a special event or hosting guests.
You’re moving in or out of a home.
Deep cleaning is needed (think carpets, upholstery, or air vents).
You simply don’t have the time or energy to tackle the job.
