Laundry Room Storage Tips

Arrange it 
Arrange products and supplies according to how you use them. Anything you regularly need should be within easy reach; place extras and incidentals on a high shelf or another out-of-the-way spot.

Downsize it 
Decant detergents from large boxes and jugs into smaller containers or soap boxes; refill as needed.

Store it 
Store small supplies in boxes or bins. Place stain-removal products in one, sewing materials in another and sponges in a third. Have rags on hand for spills.

Sort it 
Sort whites, colours, delicates, and heavily soiled items in bins or tilt out laundry hampers.

Dry it off 
Keep a drying rack handy for drip-dry items.

Iron it 
Get a hidden ironing-board so the board and iron are secure and out of the way but easily accessible.

Hang it up 
Install hanging space in the laundry room on which to hang clothes as you iron or install an adjustable valet rod to the wall to use when ironing.

Supply it 
Keep clothes hangers and mesh bags for delicates with your cleaning supplies or in a nearby cabinet.

Use it 
Use free space in the laundry room to store gift wrap, ribbon, basic tools and pet supplies.
