Fall Cleaning Schedule Has Started!

The Fall Cleaning Schedule stared this week with today being the day to clean and organize the laundry room.

 Although my laundry room is in dire need of cleaning I didn't have enough time available today to tackle that task so I chose to jump a couple of weeks ahead and clean my coat/broom closet.  It was in pretty good shape to start with.  I quickly took everything out and swept, wiped down the shelf and baseboards, mopped and then I sorted through everthing  and replaced what I needed to keep.  Here is the finished closet:

First, let me apologize for the poor photos.  It's a tight space and I'm a poor photographer especially with my phone. 
I use the right side of the shelf to store out of season or rarely used items in clear storage boxes.
The left side is for cleaning supplies that I don't need on a daily/weekly basis and my hand held vacuum.  He's easier to find up there.
Under the shelf on the right side I keep our coats.  Tuck under them is my steam mop and carpet shampooer.  Ha, is that a word?  I guess it is.  Spell check didn't pick it up anyway.  Looks funny though.
Finally, on the left side I keep my vacuum, dusters, brooms and a few other household tools I need on occasion.  I also hang beach bags and infrequently used backpacks on this side.  Most of those haven't made it back in the closet yet.  My daughter and I need to go through those together when she gets home from camp today.

So there you have it my clean and organized coat/broom closet. 

Have a great day, B.
