How to Organize Your Under-the-Sink Cabinet
Under-the-sink storage tends to be a cluttery jumble of cleaning products and tools, where it's hard to find exactly what you need. But in this week's Simply episode, host Haley Cairo tackles this organizational black hole—and comes up with a clever plan to make it easy to find what you need (and keep an eye on your pipes, too).
Start by taking an inventory of the products you have on hand, and measuring out the space—making sure you make allowances for pipes under the sink. Vertical shelving and behind-the-door storage options make it easier to use every inch of space and keep everything tidy. And perhaps the most genius tip—install some adhesive LED touch lights, so you never have to go rooting around with a flashlight ever again.
