Anything that doesn\u2019t fit or hasn\u2019t been worn in a year goes to Goodwill. Anything stained, torn, or damaged beyond repair goes in the dumpster or rag bin. Be especially ruthless when it comes to shapeless, frayed, or uncomfortable undergarments, and toss all the socks that are missing their mates; those are never coming back.

Animal shelters and rescues love donations of old sheets and towels, so bring them stained, threadbare, or mismatched linens. Keep just a couple of complete sheet sets for each bed in the house, two or three towel sets per person, and an extra blanket for each bed. Shelf dividers are a must for stacking towels. A small bin for each family member\u2019s sheet sets makes it easy to grab the right one on laundry day. Simplify the task even further by storing the folded fitted and top sheet inside their appropriate pillowcase.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"435\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/organize_linen_closets.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-17445\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/organize_linen_closets.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Kitchen Sink Storage\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Open up the cabinet door underneath your kitchen sink and take a peek inside. What do you see? You should see the plumbing, but if you can\u2019t because the pipes are hidden by a nest of old paper bags, cleaning supplies, pet food, and various junk, it\u2019s time to get organized. First, pull everything out and get rid of unneeded or expired items. Next, corral your cleaning supplies in a handy caddy or two so you can grab and go on housework day. Finish up by adding an expandable shelf organizer rack so you can keep supplies under control while still having easy access to the sink\u2019s plumbing when necessary.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"435\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/organize_under_sink.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-17446\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/organize_under_sink.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Refrigerator Door\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Those shelves along the inside of your refrigerator door are the perfect storage spot for condiments of all types. But those small bottles and jars tend to tip over and spill, often unnoticed, leaving a mess of congealed ketchup or soy sauce. An ingenious solution: Slip a few of the cardboard six-pack holders from your soda or beer into the fridge shelf space\u2014after first removing everything, wiping the shelves clean, and tossing expired items\u2014and now you have little corrals to keep your condiments standing upright. Goodbye, messy spills.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"435\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/refrigerator_door_organization.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-17447\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/refrigerator_door_organization.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Cooking Utensils\n\n\n\n</h2><p>When your stir-fry is starting to smoke is not the time to discover that you can\u2019t find your favorite spatula in the overloaded kitchen drawer. Make food prep easier by using a small, pretty flowerpot to hold your most-used cooking utensils right near the stove. You\u2019ll never again suffer the frustration of hunting for a slotted spoon, whisk, cooking fork, spatula, or vegetable peeler while your dinner begins to burn.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/empire-s3-production.bobvila.com%5C/slides%5C/39478%5C/vertical_slide_wide%5C/organize_kitchen_utensils.jpg?1600882481%5C%22" alt='\"organize' kitchen utensils>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Charge Your Batteries\n\n\n\n</h2><p>The struggle to find fresh batteries is a real one in many households. The solution? A small plastic tackle or craft-supply organizer\u2014you can often find one at the dollar store. The various compartments of these organizers are ideal for separating different types of batteries, including AA, D, C, and even 9-volt. Even better, you\u2019ll be able to tell at a glance when you\u2019re running low on each battery type, so you can stock up&nbsp;<strong>before&nbsp;you discover that you are all out of D batteries for your flashlight in the middle of a power outage.\n\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"435\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/organize_batteries.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-17449\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/organize_batteries.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Mugs and Glasses\n\n\n\n</h2><p>If there are four of you in the family, but 20 mugs and drinking glasses in the cabinet, you can safely let a few go. Toss any with cracks or chips, outgrown childhood motifs, or excessive staining, then organize what\u2019s left. Get creative with storage by screwing a few hooks along the outside bottom edge of your cabinet to display mugs with colorful or cute designs, or add a couple of wire shelf racks inside the cabinet to double the space for cups or glasses.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"600\"' height='\"435\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/10%5C/organize_mugs.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-17451\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/organize_mugs.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Clothing Clutter Purge your closet and dresser.
