Tiered shelves or a tension rod will fix that mess.

Tiered shelves or a tension rod are the best way to store cleaning supplies under a small kitchen sink because they use vertical space and keep everything from turning into a pile of tipped-over bottles.

Under-sink cabinets are basically a black hole. The pipes take up prime real estate, and everything you shove in there inevitably gets knocked over every time you reach for a sponge. The usual solution—stacking bottles on top of each other—just guarantees you’ll get bleach on your hand at 8 a.m.

Two simple things work better than any fancy organizer:

A small wire tiered shelf (the kind that’s maybe 10–12 inches wide, two levels) fits perfectly around the drain pipe. Put your taller spray bottles on the bottom, smaller stuff on top. Costs like $15.

A tension rod hung horizontally across the cabinet (between the side walls) lets you hang spray bottles by their triggers. Game changer. Now the most-used stuff is dangling right in front, not buried in the back.

Add one shallow bin for sponges, gloves, and scrub brushes. That’s it. No baskets for every category, no lazy susans that
