Truth: You haven’t cleaned your garage in years. Instead of feeling guilty about your lack of Susie Homemaker-ness, here are some clever organizing solutions for the parts of your house that tend to attract the most clutter.
1. In your Garage: Install an inexpensive pegboard mounted to the wall and keep tools at eye level for whenever you need ‘em.
2. Store things you use regularly, like cleaning supplies, closest to the door to the house. Hang wire and curtain panels to quickly hide your bins of supplies...how chic!
3. Use a mesh laundry bag to roundup soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, baseballs, and any other loose sports equipment in the area.
4. Utilize shelves and hooks to keep object off the floor and keep your garage clutter free.
5. In the Laundry Area: Create a clothes hanging section in your laundry room with retractable drying racks.
6. Arrange detergents and other products in the order in which you use them: stain treatment, detergent, dryer sheets...
7. If you still do family laundry (lucky them!), leave out a 3-bin sorter for whites, colors, and delicates.
8. Keep a basket handy to fold anything straight from the dryer.
