Hey! It’s Abby and today we are going to tackleone of those trouble spots when it comes to organization.
Underneath the kitchen sink.
Now, when we moved into our house I basicallyjust took my cleaning caddy and all the bins that I had from our old house and threw themunder here and kinda forgot about them.
I knew it wasn’t the best configurationso recently I decided to do an overhaul.

The first thing I did when I decided to tacklethe cabinet under the kitchen sink was take everything out so I had a totally blank slateto work with.
From there, I was able to get rid of anythingthat we were no longer using and see exactly what I had left so I could make a plan forgetting it neat and organized.
While I had everything out of the cabinet,I wiped it down and put in some pretty contact paper.
Not only does this help to make it look nicer,but it also is easier to keep the actual cabinet clean and keep it from getting damaged orsticky or anything like that.
When I had my remaining items organized andready to go, it was time to refill the space.
Let’s take a look at how it turned out.
If you saw my pantry video a couple weeksago, you know I use a lot of clear containers with aqua labels.
So to maintain consistency throughout thekitchen, I decided to go for a similar look in here as well.
I found these acrylic drawers on Amazon.
They were originally meant for cosmetics butthey are the perfect size to hold sponges and cloths and things like that.
I will link to them in the description below.
I cut all the labels out of adhesive vinylusing my Silhouette machine and it makes it really easy to figure out what goes where.
I transferred my dish soap into this littleoil container that was about $2 and it got a matching label too and it makes it reallyeasy to just grab it and dispense it whenever we need it.
In the middle here, I used some stackablecontainers I had to hold some of our under the sink essentials.
These ones were a little pricey but I recentlyfound a more inexpensive version at Walmart in the Better Homes & Gardens brand so I willlink both below in the description.
So, dish washer tabs are a must.
We have two little containers of them andwhen we need them we can just pop the top and lift it off and grab one.
This is really easy especially with wet handswhen you’re doing the dishes to get this off and just grab what you need and then putit back.
So, the other containers hold things likegloves for really messy jobs and then this one has some random items that we need tokeep close to the sink like an Allen wrench for the garbage disposal and the sink stopperand that sort of thing.
So I use the final tall container from myset to hold SOS pads.
It’s back there out of the way cause wedon’t use those very often.
This white container is actually a utensilholder meant to hold forks and knives and spoons but it’s worked perfectly as a cleaningcaddy to hold my cleaning supplies.
I really pared down my items and just kepta few multipurpose cleaners here and that’s really all we need to use.
I did make my own glass cleaner.
I used just a regular spray bottle and labeledit.
We use this not only to clean windows butalso for our quartz countertops and it works really well.
So that is our organized cabinet.
In the past, I’ve always felt like I hadthis space packed with stuff and it really made it hard to organize it and keep it neatand clean so we could always find what we needed.
When I took it down to the essentials thatI actually need and use, I even had some extra space in the cabinet and I will never complainabout that! Of course, everybody’s needs and setup willbe different but this is working for us right now so I’m going to stick with it for awhile.
