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!

Food, Family, and Food Storage!

By Alyssa Thibodeau of Sterilite Corporation 

Thanksgiving….The holiday made specifically for eating and giving thanks. Everyone knows the feeling of being stuffed after the huge spread of Thanksgiving food that no one can resist. After everyone grabs one final bite of turkey and the last slice of pie is being eyed by an uncle, there is still plenty of food left over! When Thanksgiving comes to an end, it is time to pack up the leftovers or hand out to-go containers and Sterilite can certainly come in handy!

Sterilite’s Ultra Seal 4.5 Cup Rectangle food storage container is the perfect size for taking leftovers back home. The gasket and four latches in the lid create an airtight and watertight seal that keeps food fresh and prevents liquids from leaking. This food storage container may not fit a turkey but it will fit a big helping of grandma’s mashed potatoes!

The Ultra Seal 12 Cup Rectangle food storage container is a staple item! Ideal for storing all of the left over side dishes – salads, green beans, squash, and you can’t forget all of the stuffing that will be leftover, but hey that’s a classic on Thanksgiving! A vent in the lid releases steam when the container is placed in the microwave, making it easy to reheat all of your Thanksgiving leftovers for days. Yes, it is microwave safe as well as freezer and dishwasher safe too!

The Ultra Seal 16 Cup Rectangle food storage container is what will hold all the good stuff! Turkey, desserts, pastries, and more! One of the best features of all Sterilite Ultra Seal food storage containers is the color-coded matching system to help find the correct lid and base combination without rummaging through the cupboards in your home. Trust me, this feature is a game changer.

Here’s to full turkeys and full tummies! Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

A Fang-tastic Way to Store Away the Season!

By Alexi Migneault of Sterilite Corporation

When all is said and done with the treats, it is time to pack up the tricks. There is no better way to store all your Halloween items than with Purple and Orange colored totes. These totes allow for seasonal Halloween items to be stored away out of sight and the iconic color scheme indicates which season they belong to. This is the perfect way to store all your costumes, décor and more and easily locate them next year! 

Halloween is the best holiday, with the spooky décor, the different types of costumes: scary, DIY, funny, pop-cultured, and everything in between. The last thing anyone wants is for their décor and costumes to get damaged while stored away in the attic, basement or garage.

Sterilite’s 18 Gallon Tote is the perfect addition to any storage solutions. The lid snaps firmly to the base allowing all the contents to be contained –which is ideal for keeping those jump scares concealed! The Sterilite 64 Quart Latching Tote has a clear base with the same iconic colors as the tote that makes it easy to identify which holiday is stored away. But with the clear base, you can easily identify what items are inside without opening it up!

Happy Halloween and happy storing everyone!

Dorm Room Desk Design

By Alyssa Thibodeau of Sterilite Corporation

It’s that time of the year again! Whether you’re an incoming freshman or a dorm-room vet, there is always that panic of everything fitting and what should be brought. Sterilite is here for all your stress and worries, with solutions for an easy move-in! Now everyone knows the dorm room desk space is the last thing on one’s mind, falling short to color themes, wall décor, and the newest wardrobe! The time will come when one realizes “Oh no! I forgot about my desk area. I am here for studying right?!” Parents and students, don’t worry, Sterilite’s got it covered!

First things first, the top of the desk. The Sterilite Small 3 Drawer Unit is the perfect addition to a desktop. This 3 Drawer Unit can be used in any way, for school supplies or beauty items, you name it!  The three clear drawers make it easier to identify and access items. Multiple units can be stacked on top of each other for even more storage solutions!

Next up, the 3 Drawer Cart. This product also has multiple uses – it can be a bedside nightstand or can be stored next to a desk for extra storage. Everyone knows that moving into a dorm can be difficult between carrying heavy things up multiple flights of stairs or dealing with the summer heat, but this lightweight 3 Drawer Cart comes with casters, allowing you to roll it instead!

One thing that is often forgotten when packing for the dorm room is a wastebasket. It’s possible that only one wastebasket is given per room, so if you have a roommate, having a small wastebasket for only yourself can make your side of the dorm room a little more personal. Sterilite’s 3 Gallon Oval Wastebasket is just the right size for a dorm where space is limited. Having your wastebasket under your desk can not only create more space in your room but it’s also a good spot to keep waste out of the way and hidden. The 3 Gallon Oval Wastebasket also has a sleek modern aesthetic to keep up with the trendy college room themes!

Happy stress-free moving!

Open Me - Contents are Safe!

It's Spring, with Summer on its way! Birds are tweeting. Flowers are blooming. Kids are riding their bikes. Baseball is in season. Ice cream trucks are riding around. It's time to prep the garden and plan summer camping weekends. 

May flowers have begun blooming, now that April showers have done their job. However, if more is added to gardens - vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, etc. - a trip to the store is needed. Stores are stocked and there are plenty of associates eager to help make the vision become a reality. 

Soil √

Tools √

Seeds/plants √

Pots √

It's most idea to get everything needed in one store visit, but oftentimes, when visions become a reality, last minute needs come up and require more trips to the store. However, if there are extra supplies once the garden is in good shape, Gasket Totes are the ideal storage solution to keep the supplies protected until next year. Extra soil? No problem! Store it in a tote and rest easy knowing the strong latches and gasket are teaming up together to keep the pests, moisture and air out during the harsh winter months, whether it's stored in the basement, garage or attic.

After the gardens are planted and summer vacation and long weekends start, camping is a popular family-friendly option, keeping everyone entertained. Now is the time to start taking the camping supplies out from storage so they are easy to access.

Sleeping bag √

Air mattress √

Blankets √

Gasket Totes come in two sizes, making it easy to find the storage space needed for all the different camping supplies - 20 and 30 gallons. Plus, as an added feature, each Gasket Tote has a domed lid which offers extra space when needed. Perfect for taking advantage of every inch of storage space.

Once the Summer is over and kids return to school, it'll be time to store all the camping gear away with the garden supplies. Gasket Totes are built with recessed lids and channeled walls, giving each one added strength and rigidity, which allows secure stacking to help take advantage of the vertical storage space. Be certain all stored items will be well-protected and safeguarded during those harsh winter months with the 20 and 30 Gallon Gasket Totes!
