SMALL LAUNDRY CLOSET BUDGET ORGANIZE & DECORATE 2020 / EXTREME CLEAN, DECLUTTER, & ORGANIZE WITH ME

[@kristenstewart6246]

For the velcro strips I just put the two pieces together (velcro sides together) and then take the backing off the one that goes on the wall and put it all on at once. No need to match up.

[@daniellephillips5967]

For your Downy and stain remover, try sticking them in a cute magazine holder.

[@channelabdullaev]

When you were putting the cat food away the cat came over “jackpot!” Lol!

I love that you used what is functional instead of what is trendy! And your tool box is so pretty 😍

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you!

[@gchick8296]

Absolutely right about the cute laundry detergent dispensers who has time to refill and clean those function is the most important! Also SAME with the label maker i would totally be the one using scissors lol😂

[@ELJAY423]

Yes I need a laundry tips jar. My son leaves dollar bills in his clothes. Lol

[@CatherineElaine]

Definitely start one, you’d be surprised how they add up!

[@tiffanyoxman5677]

Please tell me you have edited your label since this video 😉

[@halfcured08]

For Velcro strips, just attach the other side that would attach to the wall to what you are hang up first (so Velcro strip to Velcro strip) then just press and hold to the wall. Much fast let and works for me every time. I’ve lived in dorms and apartments for about the last 5 years and it’s never not worked.

[@kacyulery9403]

Omg! Ladder next to the dryer! I totally could do that. Mines always sitting somewhere where we trip over it bc I just put it up against a wall! Idk why that didn’t cross my mind 😂

[@CatherineElaine]

😂😂thats too funny! It’s the perfect spot!

[@jayne1167]

Finally someone with an actual small laundry area and not calling their walk in laundry room “small” lol.

[@Kris-jh2ud]

I’m new to your channel so I’ve been watching some of your old videos. You’re doing a great job and you should be proud of all you’ve been able to accomplish. Without going into details, I can guess what happened in your marriage and I can relate to the gut wrenching pain this can cause. I’m so sorry you or anyone else ever has to feel that pain. It is the absolute worse. However, that’s not what prompted me to comment. You mentioned in an older video you dislike the idea of renting because you’re throwing money away. I wouldn’t worry too much about that. To be honest, at least where I live, by the time you pay property tax, homeowners insurance, pest control, termite protection, trash pickup, etc etc you come out not really losing by renting but breaking even. The only advantage of buying (monetarily) is that you may build equity. Of course, it may be different in your area. For the time being, enjoy the simple ease of renting while your landlord deals with all the headaches of ownership. Take your time and I wish you much joy and happiness!!! You are a beautiful young lady and your best life is yet to come. What you’ve been through will always be a part of you but I hope you will have a very blessed life emotionally and financially going forward. That would be my prayer for you. Take your time. You’re still very young. 😊

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you so much for such a nice comment 🤍 so encouraging and makes my day!

[@dnwanja]

Love love your comment😊. It helped me too.

[@sophiamckenzie5784]

Amen🙏🏽

[@simratkaur9527]

amazing and I love when people encourage other people in the comments it makes me happier and i know that humanity is still in the air!

[@laurantaylor6471]

I absolutely love your video. You talked about not getting containers for your laundry detergent and stain remover, etc. but I liked that about it! It makes the room look realistic and not staged. Some ppl redo their areas and it looks too perfect and makes you think no one touches anything! Two thumbs up!

[@PamDavis1000]

I love what you did. I have almost the exact same space so laundry room declutter is next. I have been collecting cute little bins and stuff for about a month now. I recently moved from a large home into a smaller condo so I went from a laundry room to a laundry closet. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@CatherineElaine]

Yay!! You’re welcome!

[@roxannepratt5187]

The lint bin rocks!!! The washer spray is awesome. Leaves a fresh citrus smell and especially great for front loaders.

[@noorafghanistann]

Catherine you’re an amazing youtuber!! you motivate me so much! you’re so creative and amazing! i’m moving into my first apartment in 2 weeks (after living 4 years with in laws) you made me soo excited to move out! i love the ‘laundry tip’ jar! Thank you for all these awesome videos! I can’t wait to decorate and organize my apartment like yours!

[@manganett]

I wish I had a dedicated laundry room/closet! All I have is the washing machine in my kitchen 😭 I've been using command hooks and stripes as well for many years now and here's a tip, specially for those velcro-like stripes: you can stick it to the frame and then attach the one that goes on the wall straight away into the one on the frame, remove the covering on the stick side of the one that goes on the wall and then just place the frame where you want it, push it in place for a few seconds and then remove the frame in order to leave just the wall one behind, already attached to the wall, push it against the wall for a few more seconds and put the frame back :) did I explain that alright or was it just 1000x more complicated? Ahahahah that way it saves you the hassle of having to mark down on the wall where the other side on the tape is supposed to go as you'll use the frame to guide everything into place ;) I just noticed that I paused the video to give that super long suggestion and then you did exactly that for the little lint bin 😂 sorry! It turned out great! Love all those bins 😍

[@CatherineElaine]

Hahaha that’s too funny! It’s normally what I do but I wanted to let people know about the toothpaste trick if they’re using nails instead of command strips!

[@manganett]

@@CatherineElaine it's a great trick! I've used that as well :D

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

@@CatherineElaine I have used paint and toilet paper. mushed it into a paste and t worked!! I will have to keep this toothpaste idea in my back pocket. ;)

[@carolgenovese5647]

Thank you Catherine. I just moved to a rental house and have exactly the same thing and it’s quite a mess. This is just what I needed! Thank you for the inspiration. Also, for explaining the command strips. I had used a lot of them and before I moved began removing them and what a hot mess I made! Finally, I realized I was doing it all wrong. Pulling on the strip down and towards me which removed paint and sometimes some of the Sheetrock! A hot mess!

[@SimpleCreationsByShanda]

A cute idea I saw someone do for their laundry detergent and fabric softener is to put each one in clear glass soap dispensers and sit them in a small wooden tray. They look great and are functional too.

[@sharonshmuel3386]

Wow what a difference looks so nice ! Very well organized & great tips

[@jennifergentry144]

I love how you rearrange your items! Real life at its best!

[@merudevi]

I like your "tool box"! I have a stoopid tool caddy under my kitchen sink with an awkward handle in the middle of it and I haven't found a good fix for what's not working about it. I like the tool tub you use, its size and open top. The tools are not unsightly if it's stored higher like you have it. I'm inspired to find something similar in function and look! Thanks for sharing..

[@arleneg1271]

Love this REAL life make over Catherine. And I am like you, I move things around when I a decorating as well.

[@debh4999]

Absolutely motivational! If you wanted to hang a small plant, you could use an "s" hook since you have the wire shelving. I just thought of that when you were placing the plant.

[@tracymorris5697]

For your laundry detergent you could get a beverage dispenser with a stand. Might find end of summer sale? If you have a Big Lots, they usually have some pretty and inexpensive ones. Love your space😁❤

[@frida_173uhl4]

Very cute turnout. It's good to remember that even the functional spaces in the home deserve to look nice so we don't get too frustrated when opening those doors 😅 I could not see what was wrong with your hair but now I can't unsee the typo on your tip jar 🙈😂 I really enjoy your content, especially as it's often much closer to people's realities than those seemingly picture perfect MacMansion SAHM channels 🙄 You go woman! 👍

[@CatherineElaine]

Oh no hahaha i didn’t even notice that typo!! Now I have to go fix it 😂 that’s too funny! And thank you!

[@mvtonnemacher]

@@CatherineElaine after you talked about your mistake with the label maker, I saw the typo and thought "Oh no. She tries so hard- doesn't catch a break!" I like the transformation.

[@SimplySheila]

You’re right about those glass dispensers. I recently put my detergent and softener in dependents and it coming out so so so slow and one of them has been leaking! I’ll be switching back to just the regular bottles once the glass defenders are empty! Everything turned out so good!!!

[@ladylecter636]

Simply Sheila I must have got lucky. I paid £7 for a huge one and haven’t had any leaks yet. I’ve probably jinxed myself now 😂

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you!! I didn’t even think of that, I’d get so frustrated with them coming out so slow too 😆

[@peggymartin3209]

@@CatherineElaine If you really hate the detergent bottle, you could always podge it with something pretty and then just continue refilling it with your new detergent.

A nice bottle on the budget is to remove the etiquette from you “Tide Bottle”. After removing it you have a nice white bottle where you maybe can add some nice grey stickers on it...

Great job!! It looks so nice! You know, you could take the Tide label off of your detergent jug and since it is white it would be perfect. Then you could use your label maker to make a detergent label. I need to invest in the Velcro command strips. I’ve never used them.

Best washing machine cleaner ever! Its actually an enzyme cleaner which really helps with deodorizing, I also use it to clean the bathroom floor at the base of the toilet, it seriously works wonders, especially with toddlers who seem to always somehow pee on the floor.

[@kayrussow8517]

Cute! I wouldn't have gone for the lint bin.. I use a garbage bag that I can just toss the lint in just on the other side of the door (less movement). I've always used a small wastebasket and empty that weekly (or whenever you have trash pickup). I'm jealous of the in-unit laundry 🙂 two flights to do loads for 10 years and I am still going. I share also with another person.

[@CatherineElaine]

Oh man, I don’t know how you do it!!! I’m very lucky to have my laundry in unit. Between the toddler and the cat and me dropping things on myself when I’m eating, we go through a lot of laundry 😂

The shelf liners help but real shelves are definitely better!

[@mrsfrazier4268]

I have actually seen ppl use drink dispensers to store all laundry liquids which are much cheaper if u look under another name but you are absolutely right they aren't necessary. I wish I can do something to my laundry room its small and I have a stackable. All I can put in their is two hampers and a laundry cart with all my laundry items and I am most definitely one of those ppl that have alot of laundry supplies 😅🤭
