I have the worst undersink configuration. I don't have a garbage disposal, but I have a broken hot water dispenser that maybe we will replace one day. I bought two small Sterilite five drawer units to put stuff I need - dishwashing pods, sponges, Magic Erasers, scrubbers, extra gloves, etc. I have one larger bin for spray bottles. I, too, cut up my Magic Erasers. Backstock is in my basement. I also have three small five drawer units in the basement to organize small things - different sized batteries, clamps, door hardware, extra garage door remote, car paint touch up, carabiners, etc. I have two three large drawer units for paint brushes, filters, etc. This system has worked for me for almost seven years.
I learned a game changing tip with the "cabinet divider". my entire kitchen had them and I just couldn't deal , so my husband cut them out with a saw at top and bottom, then screwed the peice to the actual cabinet door! so now when I open my cabinets, the divider is connected and its wide open!! they look just like they did before😀
Thanks for sharing! Love the dividing drawers. Also, in the container that has the garbage bags, you can pull a bag through the “handle” area to make it easier to tear one at a time (and it looks nice 😊)
Magic erasers are simply foam melamine. Amazon sells bulk sponges for cheap. We live in a very humid area and the dishwasher packs/laundry packs melt if not in a moisture seal container. In our 80’s house the bottom was pressboard and with water from the sink area melted the bottom board. Very neat!
The Magic Erasers use an extremely fine grit sandpaper (3000+). That's why if you're using them to remove scuffs off shiny plastic, it will dull it. However, I agree, they're awesome! Your videos make my OCD heart happy. ❤️👌🏽
What about the back stock supplies you mentioned in the video? I have to keep all my cleaning supplies under our sink unless it’s for the bathrooms. I just cleaned out the space and put it all away in the most functional way but it still needs work to call it organized
Our own kitchen sink cabinet has an extended space to the left that goes back to the corner of the kitchen cabinets, so it's as deep as the right-angle cabinet next to it. This is a ton of space, that we've been challenged to use effectively, because the space directly in front of the cabinet doors is usually loaded, and therefore has to be partly unloaded to get to this 'semi-wasted' space to the left. I maximized it somewhat with a shelf the size of its footprint (approx. 24"x24"), so basically just a shelf-liner-wrapped square shelf on 12" tall legs around its edge, since we had been filling its floor, but not using the vertical space above those products, so the shelf doubles that floor space. But as for special shelves, drawers, bins, etc., I'm not sure how we can use it better than this. As I said, it's off to the left, and the garbage disposal's under the left sink, so access to this space on the left is limited by that, in terms of drawer units, etc. So other than my open shelf doubling the 24"x24" floor space, and still having to unload to some extent what's in front of the door to access this, I'm kinda stumped. I feel there's a more effective solution 'out there', but I just haven't found it yet.
I have organizers under the kitchen sink i organize every few months and than i go to get cleaners sponges i keep a few extra and then the organizers move to the back its annoying and i cant find anything i think i will try these drawers do they move when you go to get something my under sink goes back deep maybe thats the problem thanks great tips
I love almost everything, especially using the painter's tape to make things even. Just curious tho why you didn't use the grey on the clear containers too so all the labels in the same cabinet matched colors?
Our kitchen sink is in the corner at a 45° angle so the under sink cabinet is too. There is lots of space, but it is hard to get at stuff way in the back. I have struggled with it for years but just deal cuz it's not high priority. 😂😂😂 Maybe I should make it so. 🤔
I appreciate how thorough you are! You take us through every step beginning to end. I find it really helpful. Thank you💕

Just don’t sit on your sink :)
He is very clever
@priceandpride those centers are not supports so if I were to randomly find the need to sit on my sink it wouldn't make a difference 😄

I have been dreaming of finding a channel like this for years. You're an absolute organization badass.

I did not know that - thank you!
Where do you keep dish rags (if you use those) and dish towels? For me, those two items consume alot of room under my sink.

I tend to gravitate toward white labels on clear containers (I don't know why) :) I'll have to give the gray on clear a shot though!
does that drawer liner move around when you take things out?
It does not. Everything else in the cabinet seems to hold it in place well.
Great! Efficient
