13 Clever Ways to Use Hanging Pocket Organizers for Storage

I just can’t believe you stole my idea! I came across one of these “shoe bags” at a yard sale in Florida for spare change and put it to use for all those cords. I left it behind when I moved west. I found my current clear one at Homegoods/Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I threw out the unsightly over the door hooks and nailed it inside of the HVAC door where there’s only room for something like this. I call it my “junk drawer.” It corrals my cords, tape, and all those things that would be lost in some kitchen drawer in my one bedroom apartment.

Oh, if you have a label-maker, you can label each compartment rather than clipping on a card. (One compartment holds my binder clips)!

Jillee, although I can’t use all of your “good things,” I learn something good from you all the time. Keep up the good work.

I use 2 of them in my craft room to hold supplies and tool. I am thinking of getting 2 more to put on the inside of the closet doors.

Love your website. This is a tip for cleaning the soleplate of an iron. During a recent sewing/craft project I got a lot of the tacky stuff from fusible interfacing on the entire soleplate of my iron. It was near the end of the project, so I just turned off the iron and let it cool. (It is shiny metal, probably stainless steel). I decided to use my glass cooktop cleaner to see if it would clean it–worked like a charm. I just put a dab on a folded paper towel and rubbed in a small circular motion, adding another dab as I moved to another area. I didn’t press super hard as I didn’t know if it would scratch or not (didn’t notice any) and I sure didn’t want to get any into the steam holes. Finish off with a clean paper towel.
I use Wright’s Cooktop Cleaner, which I like better than Weiman’s, even though it is made by Weiman’s. Im sure any brand would work. If you don’t have any on hand, ask a friend or neighbor if she’ll give you a teaspoon or two of hers. Offer to clean her iron for her, too. Only takes a minute or two.
