MYOB Express: Minding Your Own Business

Keep a small handled plastic tote of cleaning supplies and cleaning towels under each sink in the house for quick clean-up. Place a small bookshelf-type unit in your closet to store extra supplies, shoes, or clothing. Use your walls for storage with small anchored shelf units. Use small stackable divided containers to organize and store small household items such as sewing supplies, jewelry, fasteners, buttons, and so on. Store stackable containers neatly in a drawer or on a shelf. For wallets, purses and totes, use a medium plastic storage container placed on the closet shelf. For large handbags slip handles over a hanger and store in your closet. Protect your bags with recycled plastic bags or dry-cleaning plastic. In the garage, hang a roll of paper towels, place a covered plastic container of cleaning towels, and keep a lined wastebasket next to your car. Harmony will surely prevail when you use your space wisely and create storage spaces that make sense.
