Simplify Laundry
No need to sort lights, darks, and colors. Just toss this in each load and add your detergent.
I usually hesitate to try anything new but I have no regrets. This is a huge space saver and I don't have to rinse out a huge detergent jug when I get to the end.
I've found that this helps my clothes dry faster and I don't have to remember to buy more dryer sheets. This is a one time purchase.
Cleaning
Instead of having a cabinet full of different products, I focused on finding an all purpose cleaner that's safe for kids and pets.
This is the only specialty cleaner I use. It's great for all the grease buildup on the stove, counters, cabinets, and blinds in the kitchen.
You can see the results as you dust. This is also washable and can air dry so you don't have to remember to buy new disposable parts.
It doesn't matter well your vacuum works if it's too heavy for you to use consistently. This one is lightweight, rechargable, and becomes a smaller vacuum for the car. Portability matters.
You can set this to go off at the same time every day. You have to put items on the floor away, so a daily tidy session becomes a habit. I like that it cleans under furniture. The more you use it, the better.
I've had other spray mops that didn't stand the test of time. This one is sturdy, has a scrubber, and you can wash the cloth instead of remembering to buy new disposable ones. I use the multipurpose cleaner in it.
General Organizing
Great for bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, any drawers really. My new favorite trick is to roll up the reusable bags and line them up along the side of a drawer using one of these.
It might sound obvious, but these help keep things off the floor. Proper placement is key. They can help with piles of clothes that pass the smell test and stray backpacks. These are metal, sturdy and removable.
For people who want things hidden and have solid, open storage bins, but need to know what's inside. If I work with you in person, ask me about my custom labeling!
The keyboard makes typing so easy. If you're a detailed person, you probably want this...
...and you'll need some of these. I accidentally bought an off brand once and it wouldn't print.
I keep things I use daily together in a bin. I get them out of the cabinet together, use them, and put them back together. It keeps the counters clear. Great for bathrooms and kitchens.
Bathroom
This is probably the only new thing I've purchased for my house in the past year. It makes me so happy and kids love the magnetic cup. Everything that gets wet also drains easily, so cleaning is simple.
This keeps toys together and allows them to dry. It comes with suction cups and sticker hooks. Get your kids started with a daily tidying habit by starting small.
Paper
Odds are if you ask me to help you with stacks of paper, I'll probably have you use something like this to maintain the system we set up. I like that it can sit on a desk or hang on a wall. If you don't like to see the papers, get some cute file folders.
If seeing your papers stresses you out, these are for you! The link has different patterns, including floral, marble, and earthy.
If you hate filing papers, at least make them a color you like!
If you struggle with traditional filing systems, contact me.
Unless you maintain confidential files for a living, you probably don't need a huge locking filing cabinet. This allows you to keep your important papers secure and gives you flexibility to store other papers in a system that works for you.
This is typically the perfect size for a printer on top. Drawers fit printer paper and a realistic amount of office supplies. I have experience with assembly if you need help.
