Timely Tips II

Vibrant colors vector felt pen stains

If you are like me, you will love this fresh inspiration and these great ideas about ways to improve your space.  The internet is chock full of fantastic ideas.

Here are just a few for you to enjoy!

I can’t stand the thought of using older sponges that smell of mildew.

Why not deodorize your used sponges in the microwave?

Soak your sponges in water spiked with white vinegar or lemon juice and put on full power for two minutes.

Use tongs to remove the hot deodorized sponges!

The steam will help infuse your bathroom with an invigorating fragrance.”

Placing a layer of waxed paper on top of kitchen cupboards will prevent grease and dust from settling.

Switch out the paper every few months to keep cupboards clean.

You know all those plastic bags that you accumulate each week after your grocery trip?

How about tacking an empty tissue box inside of a cabinet and using that as the storage box for these bags?

Keeps them handy but out of sight!  Fantastic!

Attach towel bars to the back of the linen closet door to store blankets.

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.

Order out of Chaos
