Home organization is not only a way to make your living space more comfortable and functional, but also a way to protect your health and safety. Many household items, especially things like medicine, batteries, and cleaning products, can pose hazards if they are not stored and used properly. Here are some tips on how to organize your home with safety in mind.

• Keep cleaning products out of reach of children and pets. Store them in a cabinet and never leave them unattended or open.
• Follow the instructions and warnings on the labels of cleaning products. Use them only for their intended purposes, and do not mix them with other products, as this could create dangerous chemical reactions. Dispose of empty or expired containers safely, following local regulations.
• Organize your cleaning supplies by category and frequency of use. For example, you can group together products for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, floors, windows, etc. You can also store the products you use regularly in a caddy or basket, and the ones you use occasionally in a separate cabinet or box.
• Use labelled, matching baskets to store things up and out of sights of children and in their original containers while still looking organized and stylish.
• By following these tips, you can keep your home organized and clean, while also reducing the risks of accidents, injuries, or illnesses caused by improper handling of cleaning products.
