Cleaning Caddy Tour: How I Organize Our Everyday Cleaning Supplies


Organizing cleaning supplies doesn’t have to be complicated! Check out this simple (and pretty!) cleaning caddy for ideas to organize your everyday cleaners. I’m also sharing the 7 things every cleaning supply caddy should have!

Cleaning isn’t exactly what most consider “fun”, but it’s a fact of life so we might as well make it a bit more efficient and enjoyable, right?

I put together this DIY cleaning caddy recently and filled it with my favorite cleaning essentials. These are the cleaning sprays and supplies that I reach for daily, and having them in this cute caddy makes them easy to grab and tote wherever I need!

Today I’m giving you a tour of my cleaning supply caddy, sharing a bit about my favorite cleaning products (and how I’ve been simplifying my cleaners with fewer, more natural alternatives), and sharing some of the best cleaning caddies available on the web.

My journey of bringing more sustainable, natural, healthy household products into our home has been gradual and it’s still something I’m working on.

I started by using up my old cleaners and instead of replacing them, I switched to natural cleaners that served more purposes (like my favorite multi-surface spray!).

I hope this post will inspire you to take a good look at the cleaning supplies you own and edit them down to the essentials! Once you have fewer supplies, they’re easier to organize and store, plus you can then focus on making healthy swaps for more natural products if that’s a goal of yours.

More info on all of my favorite cleaning products down below!

Why Have a cleaning caddy?

In my opinion, everyone should have a cleaning caddy! It makes it easy to grab your go-to cleaning supplies and carry them wherever you need around the house.

Here are some reasons to consider putting together a cleaning supply caddy of your own:

  • Keeps all of your everyday cleaning supplies in one spot
  • Portable and easy to carry around the house
  • Organizes all of your supplies when not being used

Where should you store a cleaning supply caddy?

Store your caddy in a central spot of your home, ideally somewhere that makes it easy to grab and is near where you’ll use it most.

Here are the places I see people store theirs most often:

  • Under the sink – kitchen or bathroom
  • In a closet – linen closet, coat closet, cleaning closet, pantry closet
  • In the laundry room

What should you stock in your caddy?

My suggestion is to think like a minimalist when it comes to stocking your cleaning caddy. What are the few cleaning products and supplies that you use most often? What can you stock your caddy with that serves multiple purposes (like a great multi-surface spray)?

You’ll need a sturdy caddy to hold your supplies. One with a handle is ideal and a few compartments can be nice. The size depends on how many cleaners you have to store.

I searched all over for pretty caddies and didn’t find many that were a great size for cleaning. The white tin caddy I have is actually a utensil holder! Target and other retailers usually stock these in their seasonal sections during the summer–I couldn’t find a link right now but watch for them when they’re in season! I’ll link to some more caddy options down below.

How do you make labels for your caddy?

I made this cute “Make It Sparkle” label for my cleaning caddy and the labels on my glass spray bottles using my Cricut Maker. I use my Cricut to make vinyl labels for all sorts of things!
