Less Mess, More Yes

Sleigh the Season!

By: Stefani Langone of Sterilite Corporation 

 

The holidays can be a whirlwind; decorating, buying gifts, hosting, cleaning, running around from here to there in the bitter cold all while having the same Christmas carol stuck in your head.  That’s bound to make anyone a little crazy!  The good new is, with a little planning and the right storage solutions (wink, wink) you can not only make this holiday season easier, but also set yourself up for a stress-free experience next year!
When it comes to storing holiday decorations, having the right storage solution can make all the difference.  Our 18 Gal. Totes serve as an ideal “one stop shopping” solution for larger, hard to store décor.  The 18 Gal. Tote features a lid that snaps tightly to the base so contents will stay safe until next year.  Their convenient size allows a lot to be stored, and their stacking ability help maximize your space!  Not to mention, the holiday colors help you easily identify exactly where you left the tote the year prior-it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Nothing is more frustrating than rummaging through piles of mismatched boxes or struggling to find your favorite ornament from 1998, often buried at the bottom of a random bin.  Item-specific storage, like our Stack & Carry – 2 Layer Ornament Box will ensure those cherished tchotchkes stay safe!  Our Light Box and Bow Box aid in organizing those pesky items, like string lights and bows/other wrapping essentials. Our 40” Vertical Wrap Box is a true holiday hero- with a capacity to store away up to 25, 40” wrapping paper rolls!
No matter how you choose to set up the season, our storage options will help you avoid unnecessary stress next season!  A little goes a long way: some organization today makes for a brighter, stress-free holiday tomorrow!  Happy Holidays from all of us at Sterilite Corporation!

Resolution to Organize!

By Alyssa Thibodeau of Sterilite Corporation

Welcome 2024! This is the year to be the best versions of ourselves, a year for organization! Have you been seeing the latest trends on organization and wish you had the drive to do that in your home? Well we are here to say… YOU CAN DO IT!

As it may be overwhelming, go room by room. Take your time as this should be a cleansing process not a daunting one. Let’s start with the cleaning process. The Sterilite Divided Ultra™ Caddy is where the organization first starts. This large caddy is designed with four divided compartments and a large curved handle for a comfortable grip. High side walls keep cleaning supplies from tipping over when carried and it is carefully designed to fit underneath most standard sinks. Small compartments are ideal for sponges, rags and brushes while the large compartment is perfect for standard size spray bottles and paper towels.

Jumping into a task that is everyone’s least favorite…. laundry. Start by getting all the laundry in check for all rooms to be free of some clutter. Move laundry around easier with the Sterilite Ultra™ Wheeled Hamper. Incorporated into the base of the hamper, the wheels move easily across all smooth surfaces, while the retractable handle provides a secure grip to easily transport clothes. The combination of these two features helps to make trips to the laundry room less of a chore. For situations where the hamper needs to be lifted, integrated handles on each side provide a comfortable gripping surface.

Finally, no topic on organization is complete without storage solutions. The 6 Qt Storage Box, 16 Qt Storage Box, and 90 Qt Storage Box are by far the perfect place to start on organization.  The Sterilite Clear Storage Box line is ideal for a variety of basic and lightweight household storage needs, helping to keep your living spaces neat. The clear base allows contents to be easily identified at a glance, while the opaque lid snaps firmly onto the base to keep contents contained and secure. Stack same size containers on top of each other for efficient use of vertical storage space.

Here's to the New Year and New Resolutions! Start off strong by organizing your home!
