Read More »Do your cleaning supplies come tumbling out when you open your broom closet? Do you have to rummage for five minutes to find the all-purpose cleaner ? We're here to help. Here's how to tackle the biggest challenges in your broom closet . 01 of 07 Find a Storage Space Adam Albright "During your precious Saturday hours, an organized, fully stocked broom closet will save you time, motivate you, and remind you what you need to do," says Cheryl Mendelson, author of Home Comforts ($20, amazon.com). If you don't have a whole closet to devote to cleaning supplies, part of a pantry, a nook under the staircase, or a corner of a room will work, too. 02 of 07 Organize Your Cleaning Rags Amazon Problem: Rags everywhere. Solution: Don't put dirty rags back in the closet. It's too hard to distinguish between clean and dirty ones. Launder them after use. Keep small clean rags in a hanging bag so you don't have to worry about folding or stacking them. Larger towel rags can be stacked on a shelf. 03 of 07 Store Your Vacuum Cleaner David Prince Problem: The vacuum cleaner is bulky, and the hose is always in the way. Solution: Position your vacuum cleaner front and center, so it's easy in, easy out. Hang the hose on a hook to free up floor space and to keep from tripping over it. 04 of 07 Use a Storage Caddy The Spruce / Nelly Cuanalo Problem: Cleaning products are in a confusing scrum on the floor of the closet. Solution: Keep the products you use most in a handled caddy. Store the rest in a spot that is accessible but not in the way. A lazy Susan makes infrequently used items, such as polishes and waxes, easy to find when you need them. 05 of 07 Use a Double-Duty Bucket Amazon Problem: Buckets take up lots of space. Solution: Get a bucket that nests with your cleaning-supply caddy. (Try the Container Store's caddy and bucket. Caddy, $6; bucket, $10: containerstore.com.) 06 of 07 Hang Your Rubber Gloves Getty Images Problem: The insides of your rubber gloves are always damp, and they don't dry well hanging over the side of a bucket or the sink. Solution: Glue clothespins to the inside of your broom closet or door, and clip the gloves by a fingertip to air-dry, open-side down. (If you don't want the pins permanently affixed, try 3M's removable Command Adhesive Spring Clips; $4, amazon.com.)
