Make Space, Slobbos: An Organization Tip for the Kitchen

Okay, one more post and then I'm off to make a fresh pot of coffee and get at cleaning my own bathroom. :)

While searching for the aforementioned Perfect Cleaning Kit, I found an organizational/space saving gadget that I felt we all could use. One friend has these in her kitchen, and I think it's a great way to store linens, dish cloths, even bits of paper, mail, etc. These little babies slide right onto an existing shelf and provide extra space where you might not have known you had any! And we all know that a great way to destroy clutter is to provide proper little places for things to go.




Okay all, I'm out of here! Off to tackle the bathroom - yay! (I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude, see?)

One more thing - if you still don't have your copy of the Happy Slob's Guide to Housecleaning, well, what's stopping you? :) I promise if you love the blog & site, you'll go flippy for the book.

Ah Ha! Found Some Great Cleaning Kit Containers

Ah ha, just when I SHOULD be cleaning (heheheh - see I'm not called the Happy Slob for nothing) I managed to find a couple of cute cleaning kit ideas for you guys, that I HAD to share:

"Wheely" Good Fun Cleaning Kit (groan, I know...):

But, you're getting the picture, right? :) Cleaning kits can be whatever you want them to be!

Look What I Found For You - Some Cleaning Kit Essentials

So, as I mentioned in the previous entry, I have family coming to visit today. Therefore, keeping me from posting as often as I'd like here on the blog. Sigh, and woe is me. :(

BUT -- to keep you merrily cleaning along, I'd like to share with you some fabulous goodies to stock the coolest of cool Happy Slob Cleaning Kits. :) Remember, a well stocked Cleaning Kit is a Happy Slob's lifesaver when it comes to cleaning. It saves you your valuable time and energy. Trust me - once you use one, you'll never go back to cleaning without it.


Drum roll please...Or you can just bang your mop on the floor if you prefer...

Cleaning Kit Essential #1 -- Good Scrubby Sponges
These dear little cleaners make our cleaning far easier - these ones, which I happen to love - have one side with a scrubby bit and one side with a spongy bit. Oh right, I suppose that's why they're called Scrubby Sponges in the first place...Anyway, you'll need a few of these. AKA Scrubbies. By the way - LOOFAH SPONGES also make fabulous cleaners - and did you know that they're grown by seed, not in the sea?



This pack comes with 24 total sponges -- lots of cleaning power here!

Cleaning Kit Essential #2 -- Good Natural Liquid Soap
Good old liquid soap just doesn't get the credit it deserves. Oftentimes when a stain or cleaning job eludes you, some fabulous natural liquid soap/detergent will do the job better than anything else! This is a must have for your cleaning kit. :) I like this kind, because of the natural citrus oils that help to make cleaning a cinch too.




Cleaning Kit Essential #3 -- A Cute Container
I know, I know, I KNOW! This is vain and ridiculous, and it shouldn't REALLY matter what container we use at all. :) In theory, it doesn't. But, when you're hard at work getting your home presentable, it CAN be a pick-me-up to have your cleaning kit in a cute container that inspires you to cleaning greatness.

I can't find any appropriately cute containers to show you. :) So, if you find one - OR - if YOU have a great cleaning kit set-up, send a pic of it to me at christina @ happyslob.com and I'll post it for all and sundry to see!
