Shoutout to our trusty cleaning tools. They sweep dust away, soak up messes without delay, and tackle grime like a champ. But let's be real — when was the last time you actually organized your broom/utility closet? It's so easy for chaos to take over when everything's oddly shaped. Heck, you might not even have a dedicated space for your hard-working tools. They could just be hanging out in a corner of your home, creating unnecessary visual clutter. The good news? We finally found a better way to organize your cleaning tools. Enter: a pull-out wardrobe hanger. While it's designed to hold belts, scarves, and purses, it can easily be repurposed into a home for brooms, mops, squeegees, dustpans, brushes — you name it.
What makes it different from all the many ways to store and organize cleaning supplies, you ask? Trust us when we say it's the ultimate space saver. The $44.98 Kelendle Extendable Sliding Wardrobe Hook Rail from is a great example. This gadget not only keeps everything in one convenient location, but you can also pull the rod out when you need to grab something and slide it back out of sight. It has six hooks, which is plenty. But if you're looking for even more storage, the MORNITE Sliding Hooks Hanger Rack might fit the bill. This one comes in a pack of two with eight hooks each. Plus, it's on the cheaper side at $14.99.
How to organize cleaning tools with an extendable closet hook rail
Turning a pull-out closet hanger into a cleaning tool organizer is pretty self-explanatory. You'll first want to pick a spot where your cleaning equipment can hang freely. Note that this nifty storage solution is designed to be mounted on a side wall, making it perfect for taking advantage of dead spaces in a home. For example, installing it next to a fridge would be perfect, as it'll keep your cleaning supplies hidden. You could also sneak it inside your entryway closet. Or, install it on the side of your laundry cabinet.
Speaking of installation, the next step is to screw the piece into your wall. Mark the holes with a pencil. Then, align the rail accordingly and fix the screws in place. Okay, but what if you can't drill holes in your home? You could try using Gorilla Heavy-Duty Mounting Tape, instead. The aforementioned MORNITE Sliding Hooks Hanger Rack also comes with adhesive strips if you'd like to give that a try. Just keep in mind that these options might not hold up well under too much weight. And finally, loop a rope around the handles of your cleaning tools to hang them on the hooks.
