Under my sink….

My under-sink cupboard is full of similar products to yours, but I rarely use them. The last time I tidied mine I found 14 bottles of Fairy Liquid ! I had kept buying and shoving them to the back where I couldn't see them.

What tasks do I hate? Anything to do with cleaning! I prefer gardening any day.

How I agree, Maw!
I once found 4 lots of oven cleaning stuff in the black-hole of a corner cupboard. I will not however describe the state of my oven at the time* I would not want to put anyone off their lunch.
(*except for once in a very blue moon, that’s its normal state.)

Definitely not alone, we need new tap washers on the kitchen tap, I’ve delayed it because it means emptying the cupboard
(The stop cock is under there).
Now I’ve got Covid so it’s taking even longer to get sorted, meanwhile the hot tap part of the mixer won’t turn on and the cold tap doesn’t turn off unless you wrench it and the whole tap is leaking into the worktop. Sigh….
But emptying the cupboard fills me with dread, good job there is a strong fastener on the door or it would all tumble out.
And I have no excuse as all the extras should be out in the Garage with all the other stuff that won’t fit into the kitchen cupboards.
It’s strange as I happily sort out all the other cupboards in the house but the under sink cupboard defeats me.

Oh my goodness that looks very much like under my sink I didn't know the shelves under my sink held so many products

Add to that the number of bottles of washing up liquid that are added to the online shopping order to make it up to £40 to avoid the delivery charge! ??

Oh thank you- I have had a laugh!
My one tip to aid tidying (and also removing to a safer place if you have tiny DGC who like investigating cupboards,) is to keep all the bottles in a plastic crate/box which can be lifted out and put in the garage if you need to.
It has also made the tidying easier, but inevitably I can’t get as much back in again as I initially got out!!
This is the “after” pic - impressed?
I am, that’s me done for today. Waitrose, coffee and a bun now.

MawtheMerrier, this is indeed a jolly OP. I have several different cleaners for the tiles in the utility/downstairs shower and toilet. There are two problems, firstly I bought grey tiles half price. Didn’t consider the rough surface would trap dust, ok dirt. Certainly didn’t consider the impact of two dogs who go into the utility after walks, get showered etc and their beds are there. I’ve bought special mops. What it needs is me with a scrubbing brush and bleach.

MawtheMerrier well done you. Under my sick looks very like your ‘before’ photo. I also have multiples of unopened Sainsbury’s own washing up liquid. (I swapped to ecover when I started to eliminate household chemicals and swapping to eco brands). I must donate those to our local refuge.

*sink not sick. But thought of anyone outside the family looking at it makes me sick, so I guess it is a fairly accurate description!

I have utility room envy Iam64 just what we need for dogs, washing machine and downstairs lavatory.
I have a large walk in cupboard which I grandly refer to as the "Utility room ". I don't hanker after a conservatory or other luxuries just a proper utility room.

I have a few long narrow storage containers and my 'stuff' is mostly divided into categories. Easy to pull out.

I've got 2 trays of chitting potatoes under mine!

My under-sink cupboard was cleared and tidied last month when I had some plumbing work done. There was a surprising amount of duplicates. I tend to take advantage of two for one products if they're ones I frequently use. Strangely, these included three containers of black shoe polish, all hardly used.

This was my under sink cupboard on Christmas morning when the waste disposal blocked and disgorged vegetable waste everywhere!

Sodapop the utility makes my life so much easier. We extender the kitchen and turned the garage into the utility. I had two big hairy dogs so bringing them into the utility through a dude door, rather than through the house ?. Then to be able to walk them into the shower and keep wet dogs out the kitchen fab
Feel very lucky

We, ve just had to clear ours out!! The joiner is making me a utility room on Monday. I started the job myself and DH decided to help I knew that meant trouble.
He is better than me at cleaning the actual cupboards but so untidy when putting things back. To start I had 3 bottles of plughole unblocker, 3 worktop cleaners. 4 detergents and I didn't dare count how many e cloth cleaners he's fetish, not mine.
DD is coming for Easter and I was planning to give her a large bag of cleaning products. I have had to fez up she no longer has anywhere to store as they were all to go in the Wendy house outside which GD never played in because of spiders and they have taken it down.
Then we had to start on the cupboards that will be in the utility room. Why do we do it?

Everytime we go away to a rented house, 3 times a year, I buy a complete set of new cleaning items and bring them all home. My own under sink cupboard is now overflowing. Next time I will take the half finished bottles and leave them behind.
And why would I want to spend my holiday cleaning someone else's house?

shysal 14 bottles of washing-up liquid

My cupboard is full of stuff I've forgotten about, and we've got a drawer that we keep all kinds of crapessential things in

Many years back, when I had so many young children, I cleared out everything from under my sink and stored them all in a lockable cupboard. As the years went by, and small children became bigger and then adult and then all left home, I continued with this, (although often only locking that cupboard when g.children visited).
So, under my sink - at my house (before I moved) I kept my pyrex bowls, colanders, etc.
In the flat, thee is a large, shelved cupboard in the hall, (t think originally it would have housed the hot water tank). It is in there I keep ALL cleaning products along with vacuum cleaner, mops, broom, ironing board, etc. etc.

When I first arrived I just put everything in there, and it was nearly a year before I got round to tidying it up and putting things where I could see exactly what I had. It is rare that I need to buy any item to go in there, as during that tidying up, discovered that most of the items I use had multiple numbers as (not being able to see what was in there), I had just kept purchasing more and more.
But under my sink........all I have are the dishwasher tabs, and the items for my washing machine and a large fillable spray bottle of White Vinegar (my main 'go-to' item for cleaning), and soda crystals.
When my new kitchen get fitted, will not even those there, as I will have a fitted rubbish bin and the tank for a hot water tank.

It's like Aladins den under my sink....My children say I can produce anything from that cupboard....

I HATE cleaning the shower enclosure. I have many products for this job. Basically I buy them hoping you can spray them on, then rinse them off and the shower is clean. No such product exists.

My kitchen sink cupboard is rammed with bleach and the one in the utility room has so many cleaning products and could sanitise the whole street.

Yes it does and I live in a very hard water area.
Method Shower cleaner just needs spraying onto a wet surface and leaving- doesn’t even need rinsing.
I don’t have shares so I am not advertising but I would not be without it!
I hope my shower doesn’t look too awful, but that is all I do after running the shower over the inside of the walls while I am still in it, a quick squirt up and down over the surfaces and I’m done!

no offence intended.. but

"more money than sense!"

and some people can`t afford to buy food
