Ask Daryl
Your Professional Organizer

“Do you have a favorite product or tools that help to make everyday home or work less crazy? Thanks.”
This could turn into a book but to keep it short here are a few of my favorites.
I love keeping things from leaning against a wall like brooms or mops. So I invested in a wall mounted strip that have clips and hooks to keep those long handled tools off the floor. They are actually called ‘broom and mop holders’, go figure. They hold dust pans, cleaning cloths, brushes, fly swatters, and of course brooms and mops. Once things are above ground, cleaning the kitchen floor is a breeze.
Another favorite of mine is a magnetic wall strip. They are wonderful for hanging knives, tongs, pizza cutters, plus a variety of metal utensils. I love mine because it keeps them out of drawers, off the counter, and at my reach when I need them.
I also recommend checking into getting metal pegboard. These come in a variety of colors from black to chrome making it easy to fit right in with your decor. They are available in different sizes and come with pegs for hanging so many things. They are perfect for hanging kitchen pot holders, hand towels or utensils and in the garage they are the best tool organizers. Use them in your closet for belts, scarves, and handbags. I use mine on the wall under my stairs for hanging my small tools.
Last of all, baskets. They are decorative and hold everything from paper clips to blankets. Get them with handles making it easy to gather up toys, mail, or shoes and cart them from room to room. I use them for my cat’s toys, shoes by the front door, and extra bedding that doesn’t have closet or shelf space to store them. So, if it has to sit on the floor, at least it looks great.
Start searching online for other ideas that will make your workload easier and neater.
It’s as simple as that!
