I have a drawer underneath my sink. The only things down there are the dishwasher tabs, rinse aid, and a roll of paper towels.

I've been organizing sink cabinets! The kitchen is yet to be done. I've been putting down peel and stick vinyl tiles to protect the base. Seems like Lowe's always has some on sale, by the tile. I picked some up for less than 50¢ a square foot. Then sort, discard and organize the stuff left in an assortment of plastic bins. I have my cabinet shelves lined with peel and stick tiles. I did that years and years ago and they still look great. So easy to clean, unlike the painted surfaces that I had. Those tiles come in a zillion patterns and solid colors.

When I started browsing during lunch, I didn't know I'd be buying 3 mats before I was done! Thank you for the recommendation. (They also accept Venmo and I have some $ sitting there so technically, I didn't really "spend" anything. )

I have 2 large bins that contain most things. One has cleansers, Mr clean erasers, SOS pads, etc. The other has clean washcloths and microfiber cloths, etc, as well as holds the pitcher I use to water plants. Dishwasher tabs sit in between the 2 bins. The large Dawn sits in the very back, as does a big jug of cleaning vinegar. The bins contain things and keep clutter under control.

After the thread was started I remembered that I have an extra rail from Ike’s that I have had for years. I had dh put it along the side of the sink cabinet so I can hang cleaning products on it. Love it! I had tried the tension rod before and it kept falling.

I cannot stop myself from buying seasonal hand towels. There are so many under my sink, it's disgraceful. But I can't help myself. Foxes, squirrels, cats, roosters, Day of the Dead, Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving...
And extra candles live there too, too many of them. OTC meds, cleaning supplies, that's really it so nothing unnecessary other than the amounts of things. 🦊🐇🐈⬛👻💀🐓

What was it that she cut up? Magic erasers? It made for a cute video, but personally, I'm fine with leaving cleaning supplies in their original containers/boxes/pouches, no matter where i store them. Yes - which I thought was a great idea and don’t know why that hasn’t occurred to me.

On one side of the pipe that hangs down there’s a pull out organizer with low sides. Items are put in SmartStore inserts on it so there aren’t any messes underneath. On the other side there’s simply a Rubbermaid type carrying caddy because I happened to have it. SmartStore inserts are made to go into a variety of sizes of totes but I use them as is in several areas. Besides holding stuff under the sink, cooking oils and sprays are in a couple inserts in a cabinet, and some are used inside low bins in my office/craft room. They’re only 3” high, tall enough to catch drips, low enough to have easy access and see everything. A paper towel is folded and put into the ones with oil in case I miss a drip. www.containerstore.com/s/smartstore-medium-insert/d?q=smart%20store&productId=10037002Or the Totally Tiffany Slide, Stash & Store containers might be an easy solution. Sizes 5 and 6 might work best for cleaning products but smaller ones come in handy too. We have some under a bathroom sink. Nothing fancy but they contain everything so no mess, and if you switched to something else down the road they could be used in other rooms. They’re sold at Michaels and other stores, sometimes for better prices. Some videos show them with cleaning supplies. totally-tiffany.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=slide%2C+stash+and+store
