10 Ways to Organize All of Your Cleaning Supplies

Trust us, this will make your chore list so much easier to tackle.

Throw Them On a Cart
This rolling cart means you can pull your products with you from room to room — instead of having to take multiple trips to corral all your essentials. Even better: You can stash it out of sight when you're done.

The 36th Avenue
Get Creative
Sure, this organizer was designed for shoes, but it's just as savvy when used for spray bottles and hand brushes. It'll also free up some shelves in an already-cramped linen closet.

Teal + Lime
Go Higher
When in doubt, add a few shelves. Then label tubs by room (bathroom, kitchen, you get the picture) so you don't have to sort through multiple containers to find the cleaner you need.

A Thousand Words
Try a Tension Rod
The handles on spray bottles will sit on top of a rod without falling over. Plus, this savvy idea basically doubles the number of cleaners you can fit under your sink.




Clean & Scentsible
Make Use of a Tote
A portable caddy makes it a breeze to move from one room to another as you conquer your weekend cleaning checklist.

Organizing Made Fun
Spin Your Storage
A Lazy Susan makes it easier to find items that you keep under the sink. It's especially handy for less-frequently-used cleaners that end up hidden behind the pipes.





Waffling
Go Vertical
Even if all the space you have is a few inches next to your washer or dryer, itty bitty baskets can hold all your go-to essentials.


Designed to Dwell
Look to Cabinet Doors
Why wouldn't you put everything you need to clean your bathroom inyour bathroom? Maybe because you don't have space — until you add some savvy baskets on the back of your cabinet door, that is.

The Posh Spot
Hang Your Brooms
This chevron backdrop almost makes cleaning tools look stylish. Bonus: This method means you can say goodbye to brooms tumbling over as soon as you open your closet door.

Sew Many Ways
Pick a Go-To Spot
If you're lucky enough to have a closet you can designate to all your cleaners, do it. Then make sure you stock up on extras so you always have a back up for spills and stains.

We're Obsessed With This Floating Lightbulb

Image
Flyte No magic, batteries, or wires here: Swedish designers Flyte promises to "set the lightbulb free" with its new concept — a bulb that hovers over its base thanks to magnetism and air induction. Hand-crafted in Sweden from sustainably-sourced oak, ash and walnut, Flyte turns on and off by a tap on the electro-magnetic base. If you don't need the light, the base can also transform into a wireless charging station for your phone. Yes, it's expensive, starting at around $$$, but considering the LED bulb is rated for 50,000 hours, it's a conversation piece that could last a lifetime. Flyte And don't worry about a curious cat or grabby toddler: The shatterproof glass won't break if Fluffy knocks it over. And since you don't need to plug it in, it's the ultimate kid-proof lighting solution. No tripping on unwieldy wires! Interested? Back Flyte at its Kickstarter page.

Every Day Is Chrismas at the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska

A post shared by Timothy Wang (@ttttimwang) on Dec 26, 2014 at 3:00pm PST In the tiny town of North Pole, Alaska the celebration of Christmas doesn't just happen on the 25th — every day is fair game for wearing red and green, and much of that is all thanks to Con and Nellie Miller. You see, back in 1952 they opened up a trading post in the newly named city and, in honor of Con's tradition of dressing up as Santa at every Christmas, they decided to give it a very special name: The Santa Claus House. It started off as a spot to grab necessities (think: a grocery store and post office combo). But as the community grew so did the store, and they added Christmas treasures, a new wing, and the world's largest Santa that stands 42-feet-tall. Today, thousands of people visit the store every year and millions have ventured to North Pole since they've opened. Looking for a festive photo opportunity? You've come to the right place. This holida...

"Fredagsmys" Is the Swedish Way to Make Your Friday Nights Extra Cozy

Image
Getty While the Danes have hygge , Swedes have mys , which basically translates to “coziness.” While the two concepts are similar—they both come from Scandinavian countries with extremely cold winter weather, for one — mys has a particular focus on eating delicious food that comes to a head on Friday evenings with the tradition of fredagsmys . Fredagsmys translates roughly to “cozy Fridays” and became embedded in Swedish culture in the 1990s when a marketing campaign for chips encouraged people to relax at home on Fridays and indulge in junk food after a long week of eating well and working hard. While fredagsmys can look different whether you’re a family with kids or a group of friends who get together every Friday night, the key ingredient “is easy meals for which everyone is the master chef,” according to the book The Swedish Kitchen . “Finger food and snacks are preferred to cooking and cleaning a pile of dirty pots ...
