Under the Sink, Finally Sorted

Work around the pipes instead of fighting them.

The under-sink cupboard is where good intentions go to dissolve. Measure around the pipe first. Then give each zone one job.

The sheet, in text

  • Door: Flat and light things. Gloves, cloths, bin bags on adhesive hooks.
  • Front: Daily cleaners. One caddy with a handle. Carry it room to room.
  • Beside the pipe: Two-tier shelf. Sponges and tabs on top. Tall bottles below.
  • Back: Backstock. Refills and spares. When the bin is full, stop buying.
  • Floor: A wipe-clean mat. Leaks happen here first.

What I would actually use for this

Do the sheet first. If you still need something afterwards, these are the ones from my own shortlist that fit this job.
