Easy Under The Kitchen Sink Organization

I am finding organizing to be a bit addicting these days. If you caught my 2018 resolutions, you know this is a very good thing for me right now since organization was at the top of my goals. We all have “those spots” around the house we avoid like the plague because looking at them too long educes panic attacks. Under the kitchen sink was on the verge of gaining this status. Now, don’t get me started on our basement or garage. But I am taking baby steps to someday tackle those. So this last week I addressed under our kitchen sink. A much overdue task..

Easy Under The Kitchen Sink Organization

Like most people, we use the kitchen sink daily. But unless I was reaching for the dish soap or dishwasher detergent, I HATED looking for things under there because it was complete and utter chaos. See for yourself.A cluttered cabinet under the kitchen sink houses various cleaning supplies, from plastic spray bottles to aerosol cans and plastic bags. The random stacking of items calls out for organization, creating a disorganized appearance.

Seriously, how many plastic bags can one hoard? I might be able to break a record, just saying. The first thing I did was take everything out to see what I was working with. There were two things that surprised me. A) It turns out we were not out of toilet bowl cleaner. There was a full bottle hiding in there. Well, now we have two. B) I was also hoarding wine bottles under there I believe for a wine craft I thought of years ago? So unnecessary considering the volume of wine we regularly consume. 😉 A cluttered cabinet under the kitchen sink houses various cleaning supplies, from spray bottles to detergent cans. A garbage disposal unit peeks out in the background, surrounded by tangled pipes and forgotten bottles, begging for a touch of organization.

I tossed all the items that were questionable and relocated the items that didn’t belong under there, like the toilet bowl cleaner. And I even found a grocery bag dispenser hiding on the bottom. I knew we had one of these somewhere 🙂 A well-organized kitchen cabinet holds various items: a bottle on a shelf, a paper towel neatly placed, a small black appliance on the lower shelf, alongside a yellow can of spray, dusting spray for effortless cleaning, and a dark cloth—everything within easy reach by the kitchen sink.

With everything cleaned out, now I knew what I was working with.  The image shows the underside of a well-organized kitchen sink cabinet, revealing plumbing pipes and a garbage disposal unit connected to a white P-trap pipe. The wooden walls of the cabinet neatly contain some visible electrical wires.

First, I lined the bottom of the cabinet with this shelf liner. The packaging of an EasyLiner Smooth Top shelf liner roll showcases images of neatly organized shelves, complete with plates, cups, and bowls. Perfect for kitchens, baths, and even under the kitchen sink, it features a grip bottom and is machine washable for effortless organization.

It already feels so much better, doesn’t it? And I love this pattern! The image shows the interior of an organized kitchen cabinet beneath a sink. It features carefully arranged plumbing pipes and a garbage disposal unit. The base is lined with stylish white hexagonal-patterned tiles. Then I picked up some baskets to corral all the supplies we store under there. These are perfect for keeping like items together and easily accessible.  A gray plastic storage basket with a lattice pattern holds various cleaning bottles, visible through the open weave. Perfect for organization, it sits neatly on a textured paper-lined shelf beneath the kitchen sink.

I also picked up a small plastic storage drawer for some of the smaller items, like my cook-top cleaning supplies, extra sponges, and drain stoppers. These things always seem to get lost in the back. A neat kitchen storage setup under the kitchen sink features a white plastic drawer organizer containing paper towels and cleaning supplies. Gray baskets on either side hold bottles and colorful sponges, ensuring excellent organization.An open plastic drawer showcasing a few metal and plastic kitchen sink strainers highlights the essence of organization. The background features a patterned shelf liner, with textured containers nearby, adding a touch of order to any culinary space. An open drawer, perfect for kitchen sink organization, holds a yellow sponge and a blue scraper. The partially transparent white drawer is complemented by woven grey baskets nearby, all resting on a wooden surface. A plastic drawer opens to reveal two neatly folded cleaning cloths, one green and one white with blue trim, perfectly organized for easy access by the kitchen sink. They are part of a meticulously arranged cleaning supply setup, surrounded by gray baskets.

PSA. Do any of you have a glass cook-top? If you do, you know what a pain they are to clean. But this is my go to for cleaning ours and it really works! We have used others but this one is my favorite. It came with the yellow scrubber and the blue razor blade scraper. I use the scraper to loosen really stuck on gunk and then use the yellow pad to scrub it all off. This stuff is legit. A bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner rests on a yellow sponge, surrounded by cleaning supplies and plastic storage bins for perfect organization. This cleaner is essential for removing tough stains from your kitchen sink or cooktops.Back to the organization. I chose a few different sized bins so no bin was too full because then you stop putting things away and you are back to my before photo and no one wants that. So I filled one bin with dish soap, dishwasher detergent, rinse aid, a magic eraser, and a small bottle of lotion for dry dish hands. A storage basket under the kitchen sink holds cleaning supplies: a large green bottle of Cascade detergent, a yellow dish soap bottle, and a blue box. Nearby on the shelf is a blue sponge. A drawer unit is partially visible to the left, adding an element of organization to the space. Another bin was filled with the granite cleaner, furniture polish, and extra hand soap. A storage basket for organization, containing a granite cleaner spray and a roll of paper towels, is neatly placed inside the cabinet under the kitchen sink. The basket is gray with perforated sides, and nearby, a blue bottle is partially visible.

On top of the plastic drawers I added a mini bin to house wet sponges. I really hate leaving them out on the counter and we don’t use a drying rack. Why? I have an OCD issue with countertop clutter. Ironically though, I am totally fine with hidden clutter, like the before status of under the sink, haha! Two sponges, one green and one blue, are placed vertically in a gray basket near the kitchen sink. The basket is surrounded by various cleaning supplies, including bottles and containers, promoting tidy organization on the shelf.

I used the last bin for items that were left over like glass cleaner, sink cleaner,  and cook-top cleaner. A gray basket filled with various cleaning supplies, including spray bottles and cans, sits on a shelf. Nearby, paper towels and folded cloths are organized neatly in a utility area by the kitchen sink to enhance organization. And I still had room to mount my long lost grocery bag dispenser to the side of the cabinet. This probably has the biggest impact considering our mass hoarding of bags. A wall-mounted grocery bag dispenser brimming with plastic bags hangs neatly above shelves that reveal a well-organized array of household supplies. Spray cans, paper towels, and bottles are methodically sorted in plastic bins, showcasing meticulous organization in this utility area. Now everything has an organized home under the kitchen sink, I can find things, and it doesn’t look like we are bag hoarders anymore 🙂 This was a really easy project that only took me about an hour to do but it’s simplicity makes it even easier to maintain. Now who wants to go organize under their kitchen sink?
