Household Organizing Ideas

April 12, 2014

In honor of spring cleaning, how about spring organizing? Spring cleaning is the time of year when you become brave enough to dive into your deep closets full of junk boxes or sift through the big dusty garage full of, well to be honest, mostly crap that’s piled up over the years.

As you pick through the items, each one may take you down memory lane. This makes you ponder why you should keep a hamper with broken handles or those kitchen utensils from college? Ahh, you might toss these items into the recycling pile. But before you rush off to your local recycling center, why not reuse the items that you can for household organizing? I mean, you’re already doing the dirty work by going through your old household items.

This is what we like to call RIY or “reuse-it-yourself” instead of “do-it-yourself”. It’s all about reusing old items to help organize the household items you do want to keep. Check out these reuse-it-yourself household organizing ideas.

Reuse old utensils into wall hooks for hanging kitchen aprons or mits.

Reuse your old wire hangers to organize your flip flops.

Reuse old CD cases to organize your electrical cords.

Reuse old shower curtain hooks to neatly organize your bags and purses.

Reuse plastic hampers with broken handles for wall hanging to organize dirty laundry.

While you’re going through your old and unwanted items, don’t forget to make a recycling pile for your empty inkjet cartridges, cell phones and other small electronics that you can recycle with Planet Green. Happy spring organizing!
