Handy Storage Solutions for Spring Cleaning

Being cooped up in the house most days means many of us might be paying more attention to the clutter and piles of stuff around the house that we have been meaning to take care of. Under “normal” circumstances, we might ignore the fact that the bikes and toys in the garage are all over the place. Or, we might look under the sink to see that the cleaning supplies are poorly organized, but think, “I’ll deal with that later/tomorrow.”

 

Spending so much time inside our homes is likely causing some of us a bit of frustration with seeing the same piles of clutter just begging to be organized and properly stored. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the little messes building up around your home, it may be time for a serious spring cleaning.
