Any ideas on cheap way to hang my cleaning tools ?

Question

I have a smaller home than I intended to buy and not much storage either. My laundry room already houses a washer-dryer, small table, wire shelf, and litter box. I need a place to hang my mops, dusters, and brooms. Safe me from this cluttered mess, please! I can't afford much as I have been putting money into it since I bought it in January.

I have the same problem. Some of my cleaning supplies live under the kitchen sink in baskets. All long handled mops, brooms live in a trash barrel (never used for trash), handle down, head up. I have a shelf by the washer and dryer in garage - no laundry room in this house - with boxes with less used cleaning supplies.

In your laundry room, you can install something like this. I would, but have no wall space anywhere!

There are many different types of clips and hangers out there. Go to home improvement stores and check out what they have. You can always get a couple a month until you have what you need. Another thing you can do is put up big long nails, and drill a hole in each on the end of your mops, etc. and hang up on the nails.

I put long screws on the back of the door for my mop, dust mop and broom. Go to the Dollar Tree and look for plastic baskets that will fit on your wire shelves for your cleaning supplies needed in the laundry room. Kitchen supplies can go under the kitchen sink.

Rebecca Taylor · Answer

Command strip hangers are a great idea and they have broom and mop hangers.

Jean Thompson · Answer

Drill a hole in handles and add a loop of String or cord or Wire and use that to hang onto the nail, position the nail for the Dustpan down lower to the Floor... Put hanger strips up higher/lower so you can hang or put stuff on shelf above or Below.. Peg Board and hooks work good too... or Hand stuff on back of door, or in Garage...

All of your jugs of cleaning supplies need to go in the cabinets over the dryer and washer. You can find a triangle shaped garden tool storage unit on line and use it for your mops, brooms, etc. See below

Try putting kitty box in a cabinet that also stores cat litter, cat food,etc, and give you more storage space. You might be able to put laundry baskets on top of it

but tons of DIY on Pinterist

Can the rolling cart go between the washer and dryer? That what it's intended for. You can also add shelves over the top of the washer and dryer

Then, can invest in pedestals for your washer and dryer and get lots of extra storage. If you are handy, you can build them:

Finally, paint your laundry room a nice color, hang up a few small pictures or something that makes you happy when you go in there!

Lois Vrns · Answer

can you put the litter box under the table next to the dryer then in that empty space hang baskets or stack crates and use them as individual shelves/self containing

Sandy · Answer

I would first either put supplies in the cabinet or put up a couple shelves. Then I would get rid of the rolling basket so you have room to move around. And lastly, not to sound mean, why do you have so much “stuff” to clean with? You need a broom, mop, vacuum and maybe one other item with a handle. And spray cleaning products can be hung from a tension rod by their handles. If your laundry room is close to the garage hang them up out there (I do this for extra items I don’t need daily). For a table I would have a fold down table hung on the wall to use only when needed. Kitty would also be happy with a little more room to do his “thing” if you had less items on the floor. I’m going through my entire house and really getting rid of (donating, selling, etc) things I really don’t need and kids do want. You’d be surprised at how much bigger my house is without extra clutter.

Hello, Use Clips you can buy at the DIY store to hold your item on to the wall. or build a cupboard to enclose the racks etc.

Ken Erickson · Answer

Do you have a garage, if so put that stuff there or in a closet. The ball catch holder above is how we store stuff.
