$6 Storage Hack (I Wish I’d Done 2 Years Ago)

It’s true what they say: If you want a neat space, first you have to take everything out and clean the space! Not Fun!

Clean and empty

After I pulled everything out, I cleaned the bottom of the cabinet really well, then let it dry. While it was drying, I threw away anything that couldn’t be used anymore and consolidated bottles of the same thing.

Figured out where to hang the rod behind the drain pipe, but high enough to put a second row of bottles underneath. Be sure it’s level and in there as tight as you can fit it, so the weight of all those spray bottles doesn’t drag it down and make a big ol’ mess!

Shelf liner under drain pipes. Started organizing bottles with trigger sprayers on tension rod.

Then I organized the bottom with most frequently used items in the front.

I need to keep that gallon of vinegar handy for frequent cleaning!

Nice and neat, with plenty of room left for my under sink trash can!

All done!

All done!
Gaining that extra level of storage by hanging trigger sprayer bottles on the tension rod allowed me to move things that I had been storing on the bottom shelf of my island to under the sink. Because they hang up high, the spray bottles are easy to see and reach. I am really loving this system!

That’s really all there is to it. The rest will depend on what you store under your kitchen sink. But now we have a convenient place to store the cast iron pots and the gumbo pot. No more trying to fit all the pots together like a jigsaw puzzle!
