This streamlines the process and prevents last-minute scrambling. Consider tall, vertical baskets take up a smaller footprint than wide, flat ones.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go through your cleaners:<\/strong>&nbsp;sort what you have by category.&nbsp;&nbsp;Purge the products you don\u2019t use \u2026 or don\u2019t even know what they are for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start fresh with only the products you actually use.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>One detergent, new softener, one dryer sheet, one bleach, one stain remover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Plan for efficient storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look up:<\/strong>&nbsp; take advantage of unused vertical space. Shelves, hanging racks, and even magnetic organizers on stacking units can maximize your storage for&nbsp;detergents, stain removers, and other laundry supplies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mounted magic:<\/strong>&nbsp;Use the wall space or back or door to hang drying racks and ironing boards to get them off the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baskets and bins galore:<\/strong>&nbsp;Corral smaller supplies and cleaning products into sturdy baskets or bins. Opt for clear bins for easy visibility or closed ones for a neater look. Square or rectangular bins maximize space and stack well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/lessmoremethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mounted-magic.jpg\" alt=\"Mounted Magic\" class=\"wp-image-418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lessmoremethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mounted-magic.jpg 560w, https:\/\/lessmoremethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mounted-magic-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 560px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Ideas:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trash bin:<\/strong>&nbsp;Handy for emptying pockets and dryer lint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uniformity is key:<\/strong>&nbsp;Invest in a set of matching containers for a cohesive look.
