20 easy and cheap tips on how to tidy up your home
Cleaning up clutter is a chore we all have to deal with every day: the simple act of living in our homes, using objects, wearing clothes, looking for what we need, cooking, etc - these all activities that contribute to spreading making a mess which we then have to clean up.
So, when it come to cleaning up, any tips can come in handy. For example, there are ingenious ways to use hooks, rubber bands, suction cups, and more to help us out. Take a look at some of the tips listed below:
Brushes and brooms
Don't have a broom/brush holder in the broom closet? Don't worry, you can make a soft and colorful one by cutting up a pool noodle, and fixing it to the wall with strong, double-sided tape. It can easily hold broomsticks, and many other similar tools.
Pantry
Inside your kitchen cabinets there are likely to be large empty spaces because there are no shelves fitting. As a result, we pile up jars and boxes which are then difficult to find when we need them. We could help ourselves out using a multi-level revolving tray, customized for our pantry (just find some plates of the right size, a figet spinner, some silicone and a tin can). You will find all the information on how to make this in the video at the bottom of this article.
Intimates
Have you ever thought that undergarments, such as briefs and panties, can be folded and placed inside a container, ready to be dispensed when you need them? You just need to know how to fold them up in the right way and insert them into a box that one contained tissues. You will find all the information on how to make this in the video at the bottom of this article.
Shopping bags
Plastic shopping bags are a major cause of mess and clutter - especially in kitchen drawers. But how about making a bag dispenser that can hold many of these bags? You will find all the information on how to make a shopping bag dispenser in the video at the end of this article.
Cables
We use power cords for a myriad of electrical accessories, but we rarely organize them properly. But we can do this, though, using a simple shoebox and cardboard tubes like the ones found in toilet paper rolls.
Find out how to make these and many other useful objects for tidying up your home - especially by using adhesive hooks - in the video below.
