When you purchase detergents, disinfectants, and other laundry tools, they come wrapped in big boxes and packages. To reduce the size of these items, transfer your cleaning supplies, especially detergents, to neat jars and cover them up with lids.
This saves you the stress of fitting every big box of sod in your laundry closet.
