    I have nothing organisation wise in mine - no shelf or baskets, and things are just kind of shoved in there. I think at some point I will see if I can find some cheap plastic baskets to keep things tidy :)

    I keep things in different plastic boxes which stack on top of each other - all the sponges & wipey things in one box, aerosols & plastic containers & sprays in another and the regularly used sprays & cleaners lined up on the base at the front of the cupboard. The whole area is a bit of a jumble really and I could probably do with going through everything and having a clear out but it's always the case of "If I throw it out, next week I might need it for something." Still, every house has to have a 'glory hole' somewhere!

    I use old plastic ice cream container as storage under my sink. I also use them in other cupboards to keep like items together, eg spices.

    We have a much older thread asking how others organise their under the sink cupboard

    there is also this one about cleaning products , and this one which is quite similar
    Oddly enough I was trying to find something in mine yesterday and made a mental note to organise it and put everything in a big plastic storage box. Mine is a total complete and utter messy chaos! :D:rotfl:

    Ill merge this later

    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    I sorted mine out a few weeks ago and its now martha stewart worthy. it has a large resuable shopper for recycling (paper, tins and plastics), a large kilner jar for dw tablets, same for dw salt and a big pourable tub of cat food. Th kilner jars werre a brilliant idea as the look nice and stop soggy cardboard boxes

    I've only been on here for a few days and some of the tips I've picked up are really good. I've run a house for 44 years and thought I knew it all, but I now know I don't. Nearly fell over laughing at Floyd's "man-look".:rotfl:

    Thanks Calley but Iceland has stopped selling it so the Manager in the Reading Iceland said .Went into Wilkinsons 2 weeks ago in the Butts Center in Reading and they have none either.I used to always get it in the £1 shop or Savers.

    Hi calley

    I got stardrops this week from Homebargains for 89p for 750ml. I normally get it from A$da for £1.88 for 1L. It has gone up in price loads in the past year, but HomeBargains is the best price I have seen in ages.

    Reading has no Home bargains <i wish it did> Asda in High Wycomb didnt have any and sent me to Iceland shop over the road where i got it from then but that was Sept 2010.None in there now.
