NEAT in 10: Day 3

Day three of ten! Remember, you'll get one short email each weekday for ten weekdays, with a simple task that brings clarity to a small corner of your home. Miss a day? No problem — we've got them all listed and linked at the bottom of the email.

When you're getting ready to tackle a household chore, half-empty bottles and mystery sprays don't spark motivation. Any time you can't find what you need or aren't sure what you even have, cleaning feels harder than it should. A streamlined cleaning supply setup, with products grouped by purpose, makes tackling messes less frustrating.

Cleaning Supplies

what you'll need

A trash bag, a box for items to give away, labels

what to do

1. Pull out every cleaning product from under sinks, closets, laundry rooms, and anywhere else they've accumulated.

2. Consolidate duplicates by pouring half-empty bottles of the same product into one container.

3. Toss anything expired, dried out, or unidentifiable. If you don't know what it is or when you bought it, let it go.

4. Give away products you're no longer using. That specialty cleaner you bought for one project doesn't need to take up space forever.

5. Group what's left by type: glass and surface cleaners, bathroom cleaners, floor care, specialty products.

6. Focus your most commonly used cleaners—disinfectant, wipes, glass cleaner—in a single accessible space like under the kitchen sink.

7. Store any overflow in a laundry room or cleaning closet if space allows.

NEAT Tip: Consider corralling each type within its own labeled bin. Labels take the guesswork out of putting things back and help everyone in the household maintain the system.

MISSION COMPLETE

level it up

Grid Baskets are built for the challenge of under-sink storage. The elevated metal frame is durable and keeps products stable, while the acacia wood bottom provides a flat surface so bottles don't tip.
