Get Organised – Laundry Storage and Dusting mittens

October 24, 2011 by Abby 1 Comment

Laundry storage

Being renters, we can’t put any shelves up and the laundry at out house is a bit lacking in storage.

I came across these little baskets at the local discount store and they are perfect! They have 2 suction cups on the back, so they stick to the tiles, and I can take them with me when we move out.

The one on the left has my delicates bags in it and the one on the right is full of old socks.

Old socks you say? I think they’re perfect for dusting. Hubby seems to go through socks far quicker than I ever do and when the elastic goes, they’re useless… for wearing as socks anyway. But, put a damp sock on your hand and they make great dusting mittens. Turn them around on your hand as you go and you get a lot of dusting out of one sock. If they get super dusty, I just peel it off so the outside ends up on the inside and throw them straight in the bin. Plenty more where that came from!

    I love the idea of using socks for dusting! My husband seems to go through them rather quickly as well. What a great idea!
