The broom closet It is a classic in our homes. We use it to store, in addition to brooms, buckets, mops, mops and cleaning products. Products that we use every day and that should be kept well organized to waste the least time taking the one we need.
A good distribution of the broom closet is key to maximize space. So is the use of different storage systems, so that we can take out and put back each product without disturbing the rest. Otherwise you risk becoming a bottomless pit.
You don't need a large closet to properly organize your broom and other cleaning supplies. And it is also not necessary to invest a large amount in it to that is practical. Take note of the following keys that will improve the functionality of your broom:
A good layout
What tools and cleaning products do you normally use? Which ones can you do without? Take advantage of this moment to reflect and minimize product list that you think necessary. Did you know that with vinegar, baking soda, bleach and / or lemon juice you can create cleaning products for almost everything?
What do you need to save? Once you have disposed of what was not necessary, take paper and pencil or open the "notes" application on your mobile and make a list of everything you want to keep in the broom closet: broom, dustpan, mop, mop, vacuum cleaner, bleach, detergent, rags, scourers, brushes ...
How much space do you need for each thing? Now that you have it clear, draw your wardrobe to scale and create the possible distributions. Reserve a space long enough to store the brooms, another deep enough at ground level for the vacuum cleaner or buckets and a third to place shelves.
Hooks for broom and dustpan
Hanging brooms, dustpan, and brushes is the best way to keep them organized. You can use different systems for this. The click systems they are very comfortable, although they may not fit all your utensils. The simplest coat racks, on the other hand, you can use them with all those utensils that have a hole in the part of the handle using ropes or wires.
Another very versatile and economical alternative is to combine lattice panels and hooks butcher. Whichever system you choose, use a side wall or closet door to install it. Keep in mind that if you place it on the back wall, anything you put in front will represent an obstacle to remove them.
Shelves for cleaning products
You will also need some shelves to organize all the cleaning products. These do not need to be very deep; The idea, in fact, would be not to place more than two products one after the other in order to be able to see them all at a single glance. Due to capacity problems, do you need to take advantage of all its depth? So yes, invest in removable shelves it would be our first choice.
Baskets for small things
The baskets They are a fantastic storage system for smaller objects, but also for those that do not have a structure such as rags or cloths. Objects that would end up disorganized and scrambled around the shelves sooner rather than later.
I bet you vegetable fiber baskets if you want to give a warm touch to your broom closet. By plastic boxes with a lid for those products that can give off an odor. Or invest in wire mesh baskets to see easily and without having to label what you keep in each of them.
As you have seen, it is enough to stop and reflect one afternoon and then visit the nearest hardware store to acquire what is necessary to make our broom closet more functional. Some hooks, some shelves and some baskets, you don't need anything else to put order in this closet where you keep all the cleaning products.
