Rubbermaid storage containers and other Rubbermaid products can be the key to organizing messy closets.
Tired of not being able to find what you're looking for among all the Rubbermaid containers, shoe boxes and cleaning supplies in overcrowded closet? The summer is the perfect time to start organizing those closets.
Begin with the one in the master bedroom. It's filled with extra shoes, belts, ties, clothes and even bedding, making it difficult to find the items you're looking for. There are several Rubbermaid products that can help remedy the situation.
Start with the winter clothes that won't be used for several months. Simply put, get them out of there. Pack them into Rubbermaid storage containers, label the containers, then move them to the attic or garage.
Six months from now, bring those same Rubbermaid containers back to the master bedroom, put the winter clothes back in the closet and place the summer clothes in the container and return it to the attic.
Rubbermaid storage containers are also useful for shoes and other accessories that won't be worn during the current season. Placing off-seasonal items in storage, can reduce master bedroom clutter by half.
A shoe rack is another item readily available at most stores or web sites that sell home goods. The ones that hang on the back of closet doors help maximize closet organization by utilizing space more efficiently.
A smart consumer can also find multi-level hanging racks for clothes, which can help fit up to five times more shirts and pants in the same amount of closet space.
Rubbermaid products can also help with that hall closet that has turned into the dumping ground for items that have no home. Cleaning products frequently end up strewn on each shelf, making it difficult to find the one that is needed.
Try loading all the detergents and cleaning sprays into one or two Rubbermaid containers. Put sponges, cloths and paper towels in another container. Grouping the items together will make it easier to remove multiple sprays and cleansers when working on cleaning the entire house.
The toy closet can also benefit from Rubbermaid products. Families with multiple children quickly learn that toys accumulate faster than snow on a mountain top.
Try separating the toys according to age group and store them in separate Rubbermaid containers. Once a year - say, New Year's Day - remove the container filled with toys the children have outgrown.
Of course, one of the best ways to eliminate clutter from a closet is to simply remove everything. Rubbermaid storage sheds can help relocate toys, tools and other odds and ends into the garage or the backyard, all the while keeping them easily accessible for when they are needed.
