Kitchen Sink Cabinet Tour and Organization Ideas

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

BEFORE YOU LEAVE A RUDE COMMENT: YES, I give my 15 lb Dog a bath in the kitchen sink. Our condo does not have a bathtub and I'm not about to take a shower with him. I wash and disinfect the sink first BEFORE (and after) I wash him to protect HIM from the harmful pathogens that could be lurking there. A muddy paw probably has fewer harmful pathogens than: 1. Your Cell Phone 2. A Public Door Knob 3. Your television remote control 4. The Sponge You're Probably Cleaning your Dishes with 5. The raw Chicken you're washing off in the sink Let's get some perspective people. If you're not washing and disinfecting the sink on a regular basis, then you have some cause for concern. Every time you wash your hands, you're also rinsing harmful pathogens down this sink as well. Dogs are not walking Noroviruses, they are mammals just like you and me and should be treated with respect.

When a laundry sink is not an option,(I do not have) that sink is the bomb, I will have when the remodel happens! no issues here.....

[@niecybaby1960]

Well, I guess you got them together... To each it's own. I wouldn't wash a dog in the kitchen sink nope just wouldn't. I wouldn't sleep with one either but I would with children. Hum.... Do you have to take a shower with him? You can't fill a basin and wash him in the shower? By now, he'd be use to it. Anyway, underneath that pretty little voice and body of yours is a MONSTER! LOL

[@randyw4984]

@@niecybaby1960 of course everyone has their own likes and dislikes but if you came to lunch at my house You would observe good sanitation and I am sure feel comfortable. Really good dog owners not everyone feels the same . ;)

[@stelladollies]

Thanks for this video! It gave me lots of good ideas for organizing under both my kitchen and bathroom sinks! Smiles, Stella

[@123-g8z8c]

I’m obsessed with your channel! I’ve spent the past hour watching your videos and have so many notes for when I move next month!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you!!! Best of luck with your move! I know it can be a crazy time, but I secretly love it because it's a fresh start!

[@AdrianaBerlanga1207]

Glad I found your channel, your personality is so positive and I appreciate your tips.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay! Thanks for watching!

[@pamwhite1384]

I give a thumbs up even before the video, because I know it will be great.

[@debbieb3952]

LOVE the Method floor cleaner!! Smells wonderful!! I also love your videos!! I just found you a few days ago and I am binge watching!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much!

[@wandalorenz5762]

My favorite cleaner is baking soda and dawn dish soap

[@compassion2126]

I love how you have natural or invornmentaly resposible cleaners and cloths for less waste. On that note I would love to see a video on how to clean those cleaning brushes to get longer use out of them!

[@niecybaby1960]

I love the method products a lot, the bathroom cleaners and the all purpose cleaners. I love dawn dish soap and I love Fabuloso a lot. And for the heavy hitter bleach!

[@ivonnegonzalez8803]

Thanks for the tips. Have my sink cabinet clean, but I need the stackables to organize. My favorite cleaners are vinegar with blue Dawn for shower, tub, and toilet. Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner for daily cleaning. And love bleach & fabuloso.

[@melissat.9415]

Thank you for this video! Super helpful for the awkwardly shaped under the sink space. I’m digging your organization style/tips. Not to mention you have such a pleasant and warm personality. Happy to have found your channel. My favorite cleaning product is Method’s all purpose cleaner.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@reldra]

My favorite cleaner....I have so many. I recently like Lysol antibacterial Orange for kitchen and bath. I like magic erasers- the dollar store one is just as good. I like aerosol glass cleaner for electronics. Bon Ami is nice, but I like Barkeeper's Friend cleanser better. The only Methods I like are Squirt n Mop wood and Stainless cleaner spray for appliances. I steam wood and tile and vinyl floors now with a shark steamer...but if i had to wash a tile or vinyl floor it would be Mr. Clean w/ febreeze hands down. For dish soap...Dawn 2x in blue . For bath tiles- Kaboom from the dollar store, wait and then wipe with water. I still use comet for scrubbing the toilet but use a press on cleaner like Lysol click gel in a rain scent- will have to scrub maybe 2x a month. I use Murphy's oil soap for antique and easily scratchable wood. I use microfiber cloths only on glass. They scratch a lot of things. For oven cleaning and stove top when bad..Dollar General Brand fumeless oven cleaner. Just a couple min on the burners (gas or elec). On gas stoves, wipe it on with a paper towel. In ovens leave it sit an hour then wipe and rinse well with water. I use baking soda and white vinegar mixed with water if I am missing any cleaner for any surface. That will polish up and silverware. Don't soak sterling more than 2 min. For windows, Windex Vinegar. Pledge with a soft cloth for modern wood. Not fond of the pledge 3 in 1. Love goo gone for what the youtuber says. Started using Fabuloso..cut with a LOT of water...and a tbsp of bleach. Done that way it smells a lot like amway LOC cleaner, for the outer hall I share with a neighbor-she likes Fabuloso. Did that to be neighborly and share the hall cleaning. Sorry so long...I used to have a house cleaning business :) Note: Painted range hoods. Use soap and water only, the dawn 2x is good. That heat resistant paint is really sensitive so NOO totally awesome, no oven cleaner, and only a light try with magic eraser.

[@beckyfischer7025]

My favorite cleaner under my sink is Basic H from Shakley which I mix with water in a spray bottle which I use to clean my counters & stove. I also use it for moping my floors. I just put water in the bucket and put in a couple drops in my bucket. It is environmentally safe and very economical. You can use it to clean things all over your house and can put it in your bath water. My husband uses it for body wash and shampoo. We are never without it. Great product. No, I am not a Shakley dealer.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I'll have to check it out!!!

[@karenbenavente1124]

Thank you for the great tip! Making your own disinfectant, and the dish soap cleaner💕👍👍👍 Awesome 😁

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@ladylucas60]

Favorite cleaner is vinegar . I really like your kitchen hacks so handy n dandy .

[@lifewithlovie]

💜 this! I’m watching your videos to get me on track ⚡️. I’m taking lots of notes 😎

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yay! Thank you! So glad you're enjoying!

[@patriciawolfe8983]

love straight vinegar with 1 tsp blue Dawn, 20 drops tangerine essential oil ..... smells sooo good. use spray bottle. rinses easily. use in kitchen, bathroom, any washable solid surface.

[@karenbenavente1124]

My sister made a wonderful cleanser Using baking soda and Lemongrass essential oil works great on stainless steel and Stoves etc🤗

[@becky5937]

In love with this video and your curls. Xoxo

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you!

[@tonyamccreary4362]

I just found your channel! Love it! I cut my magic erasers in half or thirds!

[@einsteindarwin8756]

That’s a very good point especially in the age of coronavirus. Have you done an episode of how you wash your produce? I have been using vinegar and lemon juice.

[@iliketoastmore]

I could not stop laughing at how intensely you said "Goo Gone"!

[@americanpriness1]

Bon ami is my favorite cleaner that is under my sink.

[@ccompeaux1]

So glad I came across your videos!! barkeepers helper or friend? cant remember exact name to clean my sink. A wonderful product!

[@laneyopperman1218]

I like to leave those things out to for easy access. You have it looking very nice though

[@compassion2126]

Looks great! However what I am wondering is (rare occasion though it may be) your husband where to need something from that cabinet he would be able to find everything as easily? I would love to see videos on what a housewife or mother or anyone who has to share a space can do to make it organized in a way that everyone can help keep it up and know where to find everything.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yup! He can find things very easily! I've actually recently pared down this space and now it's even better! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYTMiJdqec6qo6s

[@ThePirateWife1]

FYI, Amazon sells melamine sponges (knock off Magic Eraser), I believe they are $10 for 20...anyhow, they last soooo much longer, and cost a lot less than the name brand😁 (Bully sticks are bull pe - is😱)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

LOL, Bully sticks are SO GROSS

[@janicebradford9780]

You are the only other person I’ve run across that knows Amazon has generic Magic Erasers. A little lifesaver, for sure.

[@patriciawolfe8983]

I use the cut glass tall liquor decanter with a regular bar spout for dish detergent.

[@laurabarkovitz55]

My favorite cleaner is the Greenworks by Clorox toilet bowl cleaner. It’s eco friendly and smells like Sweat Tarts 😉

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I love Sweet Tarts! 😋

[@patriciawolfe8983]

excellent. yah, looked under kitchen sink ..... started humming "tomorrow ... tomorrow" and closed the door. lol

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

LOL!!! The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step ;-)

[@patriciawolfe8983]

hum, hum tomorrows a day a.......wayyyyyyyy lol

[@oceanbrzzz]

I felt the same way, one day I started and it went quickly! I feel so much better now that it is organized and I am not using multiple products when a few will do.

[@candacebrooks2803]

i've used the same shelf liner product for years. LOVE!!!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

BEST!!!

[@curlycurly004u]

Love Fabuloso! But I really try to use Baking Soda & Vinegar as much as possible.

[@reldra]

Cut that fabuloso with water. My neighbor would use it in my last apartment...it's too strong. Can add a tbsp of bleach. Cut it with water almost in half.

[@oceanbrzzz]

Thanks for the links! I have been (re)organizing for a few months. :-)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Of course! I hope it's going well! Thanks for watching!

[@charlenesantos4082]

Woah! I absolutely love that stacking drawer! I hope that I can find that! I need those!😊

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

They are so useful! Thanks for watching!

[@udhe4421]

The Organized Soprano. Wow! Wen u opened the cabinet of ur kitchen, so organized!!! U said u r short but ur fingers seem extremely nice and long. So how tall are you? Also, which color nail polish do u wear while making this video? Ty

[@Moparkatt]

What are the essential oils for in the cleaners? I have a lot of animals (ferret rescue) and most essential oils are harmful to them. But I like a good cleaner. Do they add anything other than smell?

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

They add nothing aside from a nice fragrance. I would avoid them if you have a ferret home! They are super sensitive I hear (along with being super cute!)

[@ivettedouglas1428]

Can u use a jar for your dish soap like the one from your cream in there

[@valeriesfascination1941]

You are adorable!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you!

[@janicebradford9780]

Strugglebus...where did you find that? I’m trying one more time to get my stuff together.It’s difficult and harder this time.I love vinegar, H20 and dawn the best. It covers everything and for really hard to clean mess..Krud cutter.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I have always been the queen of fun colloquialisms 🤣

[@bambam4x]

I use dawn and vinager cleaner i make. For showers and tubs. Not on my granite. Please be careful with bully sticks. Our dog passed choking on one.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

We definitely will! He only is allowed to have them when he's with us and I take it away when it is small enough to fit in his mouth. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to your pup. XOXO

[@susanava6120]

I saw someone use a jack Daniels bottle as a soap dispenser. She said it has a universal size head. So she placed a pump head on it. I want to do that but nobody drinks .It saw it on Rachel's channel.

[@youaintneverlied]

sounds pretty cool

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Hmm...we definitely don't drink the brown liquors here in our house, so I may repurpose it (after a having a party of course LOL)

[@denisejackson6570]

Hey! Enjoy your videos. Where did you purchase that lovely compact table and chair set from?

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! The console dinner table? It's from a company called Expand Furniture. They are out of Vancouver, Canada.

[@reldra]

I just moved into an apartment with a TINY kitchen. The plastic drainer I had under my stainless steel X shaped rack would not fit. So, I put a drying mat under the rack. Fits perfectly in the tiny shelf space between sink and fridge. I have washed the mat in dish soap and hung to dry then put it right back under the rack. I added a small plastic container with holes from the dollar store for cutlery. It's about 5" tall X 6" wide. It has a stainless handle that folds over, too. This is working out well. I miss my dishwasher a bit, though:(

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I missed a dishwasher when I moved to my own place a few years ago. You never realize how much stuff you just shove in there and press a button until you don't have it! LOL

[@M-Joy]

I'm guessing you wound up disliking the command hook clothespin based on me not seeing it in your later undersink tours?

[@mycclvoe8575]

love the floor mat, where did you buy it?

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I got it from Target! I don't know if they have it anymore but they have cutes ones all the time! :)

[@BBThompsonwriter]

Where do you put the kitchen trash?

[@pamcarrington7543]

Funny story about Bitter Apple. When I was young, our vet told us to use it to keep our Lab from chewing on her spaying stitches. However, our Lab loved apples. So, the Bitter Apple made her want to chew on them even more!

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! So much for Bitter Apple! More like YUMMY Apple!! 😂

[@benavetissian934]

The disinfectant is not as good as bleach. You do not need to clean with bleach often but once a week or to is good

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I personally do not use chlorine bleach because it is irritating to lungs and eyes. Perhaps if norovirus were to come into our house in a terrible way, I would make an exception, but on principle, I do not use chlorine bleach anymore.

[@9023rsd]

Hi, I'm new to you channel. I love your personality. Can you tell me where you get those beautiful clear spray bottles?

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you! They are Casabella brand, but they are not my favorite. I've found they clog up a lot and it LOOKS to me that they are re-designing this product. I can't find that it's in stock online anywhere. I bought some AWESOME spray bottles from the Container Store, but I can't find them online anymore either! UGH! Hey...this might be a good video! Sorry I was not a help!

[@dmlpa506]

I just found some good quality clear ones at Walmart in the garden center!

[@9023rsd]

dmlpa506 thank you. I'll have to look at Walmart.

[@lulujean88]

Magic Eraser is actually a very fine sandpaper, according to my brother, who knows such things...

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I did a video on magic eraser! It’s actually made from plastic but behaves like sandpaper! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYatimuQh9tlqZI

[@tiffanyfett1159]

Can you link your kitchen rug? :)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

It’s from Target but I don’t think they sell it anymore 😞

[@cindypole3835]

Thank you - fantastic :-) You are very similar to Nikki Boyd (At Home with Nikki) YT channel.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much! That's the highest compliment as I love Nikki!

[@shannongorman6516]

bleach and vinegar and backing soda favorite cleaners

[@jaspreetmatharu2573]

love ur video. Im n organizing freak.

[@reldra]

Don't need a fat trapper bag. Use a plastic shopping bag from grocery shopping...look for any holes in the bottom first. Wipe out fat from pots/pans/slow cooker into bag. Put it in the garbage.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Genius!

[@ssmith543]

1st make SURE the hinges on your doors are very STURDY! Otherwise you could bend them which leads to multiple problems.

[@youaintneverlied]

Method Kitchen Spray (pink grapefruit)

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Mmmmm...sounds like it smells yummy!

[@youaintneverlied]

it does :-)

[@reldra]

smells nice, too expensive. I dropped Method cleaners in my business unless the homeowner was providing them. I dropped them in my house too. Murphy;s is better than the Method Squirt n Mop and I refill the Murphy;s squirt bottle with Murphy;s and mix with water.

[@012345678919385]

OMG😲 TTM & GIVE 2 MUCH INFO😣 BUT LUVVVV THE PULLOUT DRAWER🤗👍

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@marilyns6043]

👍😄

[@shannongorman6516]

oh yah medical grade wipes for cleaning doorknobs, counters, etc.

[@almmason7]

Bull/Bully Stick =👍bull / cow pizzle/ penis But my dog loves them!!! 😶🤔🙃

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

LOL, it’s so gross right? 🤣

[@strikethroughstudio]

Wow americans are really high maintenance. 🖒🏻

[@bensgrammy1]

Outro is NOT a word - the word is conclusion!!! Intro comes from introduction - it has nothing to do with coming in - therefore outro is NOT a word.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Thanks for your feedback. The use of the term "Outro" is not Merriam-Webster official but it's pretty common KZbin vernacular. Sometimes, we as creators get cavalier about using lingo that not everyone is privy to, but I'm grateful that you took the time to remind me to use common language. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@charlynewilliams7184]

Wash your pet in the kitchen sink? Really????

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Yes. REALLY. Sinks get washed the same as any other area in my house. I happen to think a muddy paw is less gross than raw chicken 🤢 🤣 Seriously, this is the best option for little Clover as we don’t have a bathtub and you’ll find lots of people with small dogs pop them in the sink too after they’ve had a fun time getting dirty at the park! You know what has many more little nasty microbes on it? Your cell phone, girl! Thanks for watching and don’t forget the disinfectant 🤣❤️

[@roka2031]

here's an idea.... don't put things in the cupboard under the sink

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

Then this video would be super short! 🤣 It sounds like this video was not right for you? I invite you to check out some other videos on the channel that you may like better! Cheers!

[@crazy4RxLexus350]

You're a professional organizer? this looks VERY clutter.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

+crazy4RxLexus350 Yup! I am really happy with the way this space turned out and it functions well for our household! Thanks for watching!

[@teresagrant6995]

Looks great! I think everyone us different as long as it work for you.

[@pamwhite1384]

The Organized Soprano I like what you do and that you use what you have. I like when you throw shade on stuff you will use up but not re-buy. Same with the dog. Sink works fine. Cheaper than getting a groom every time. Keep on going... chin up. Love it!
