The area under your sink can sometimes feel like an island of lost products. It’s time to take control of your under-sink space and transform it into a clean, organized oasis! Here are some tips and tricks to get you started with the help of Rack Sack’s trash bin systems:
Step 1: Clean it out
Take the time to inspect and sort through all of the cleaning materials, including sponges, scrub brushes, and other items that have accumulated behind closed cabinets. Get rid of anything that is outdated, damaged, or doesn’t belong there.
Step 2: Measure your cabinet
Make sure to use a tape measure to determine the width, depth, and height of your under-sink space. Additionally, don’t forget to measure your cabinet door openings.
Step 3: Work around obstructions
The most challenging aspect of decluttering the area under your sink is navigating around the pipes. To address this issue, utilizing multiple two-tiered organizers that fit under the sink can be effective. These organizers make the most of the vertical area, and their pull-out drawers prevent items from getting lost at the back of the cabinet.
Step 4: Use a water-resistant shelf liner
A water-resistant shelf liner will protect your cabinets from dripping sponges and cleaning supplies. You will both extend the life of your furniture as well as make cleaning easier for yourself.
Step 5: Make items easy to grab
You may want to consider keeping your cleaning supplies organized in an easy-to-grab tote. Walk through the below creative ideas to pick the ones which fit best your needs:
- Use simple dollar store bins to store cleaning supplies
- Utilize tension roads to hang supplies and cleaning products
- Keep most used items front and center
Step 6: Make use of the doors for additional storage
Never underestimate the space getting lost behind the doors. You can turn your cabinet doors into handy storage areas. Check out the list of ideas below on how to utilize them effectively:
- Install a small towel rack to store paper towels
- Mount a spice rack to store cleaning supplies, sponges or dishwashers
- Use clips to hang rubber gloves and cloth towels

Step 8: Label, label, label
Nothing makes organizing easier than clearly labeled containers. Use a label maker or even a sharpie to label each container so you always know where
to find what you need. Labels are also useful for keeping the entire family on the same page.
Step 9: Add a lighting
Even if you apply all these solutions, locating items under the kitchen sink can be frustrating due to the poor lighting in this area. That’s why we recommend a solution that’s both inexpensive and efficient: motion sensor lights! You can use them in the cabinet under your sink to make your life much easier.
