Pets are members of our family. Just like every human in the family, our pets can also accumulate a lot of “stuff” which can slowly take over space in the home Keep your home clutter-free of pet supplies by organizing them into specially designated areas. Everyone’s pet situation is unique because there are so many varieties of pets including dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, hamsters and more. Not every organization type will apply to each of these pets. If a pet is confined to a tank or cage, keeping their supplies organized in one area is much easier than trying to keep supplies and toys organized for a cat or dog. Below is an overall list that will help get you organized with the majority of pets.
Just like with any home organization project, create a decluttering and organizing plan. To start off, purge unnecessary pet items and then split them by daily activity. Organize the supplies into use categories: food and bowls, toys, grooming needs, medication, leashes, collars and waste disposal items. Create pet storage areas to hold each category near to the area where you will be doing the activity with the pet. This will allow you to keep your pet supplies organized in one area and the following tips will help keep your home clutter-free:
Larger pet items such crates, pet transports, pet beds and other supplies will require more storage space. Of course, never store perishables such as pet foods in a self-storage unit. If you no longer have the need or the room for these items, then consider renting a self-storage unit. ezStorage offers a variety of household storage solutions including climate controlled storage units.
