If you are like me, you probably have a lot of cleaning supplies taking up a lot of space somewhere in your house. I personally use the Method brand of cleaners (not sponsored, I just really like them), so I have a lot of spray bottles. I used to keep them in the cabinet under my kitchen sink, but with everything else I needed to store in that space, I needed a better solution.
Not too far away from our kitchen, we have a closet that holds our furnace with a little extra space for storage. We don’t put a lot in this closet because we don’t want to get too close to the furnace, so normally it just holds our broom, vacuum cleaner, and a ladder.

I decided to try something out on the back of this closet door, and I am so incredibly happy with how it turned out! With just some Command hooks and a wood dowel rod, I was able to get almost all of my cleaning supplies out from under the sink and properly store some additional supplies. Plus, now all of my cleaning supplies are in a place that is almost impossible for our little guy to reach!
I bought two large Command hooks and two medium wire Command hooks to complete this project. I attached the two large command hooks at either side of the door to hold the dowel rod. After I attached the first one, I used the dowel rod to make sure that the second hook would be level. I used my husband’s band saw to cut the wooden dowel rod to the correct length and sanded the edge. When I put the dowel rod into the hooks, I was able to hang all of my spray bottles over the rod.

I used the two medium wire hooks to hang up my broom and our flyswatter. It could also be used to hold a mop, a duster, or a Swiffer.

I was so pleased with how easy and successful this project was, so I made a mini version for under my sink to hold my countertop cleaner, a small broom, and room deodorizer. I also plan on putting some mini versions in our upstairs bathrooms under our sinks to hold our bathroom cleaners.
