items My hall closet was a pile of brooms, mops, and Swiffer handles crashing onto me every time I opened the door. If you've ever had a dustpan avalanche at 7 a.m. while half asleep, this list is for you. Took me two apartments and way too many failed sol...

Wall Mounted Broom and Mop Holders
The broom-falls-on-your-head-when-you-open-the-door era is over. These clip onto the wall and hold everything vertical so your closet floor is actually usable again.
Grab this first. I went from six brooms sprawled across the floor to a clean wall in about ten minutes. Perfect if your closet is narrow and you can't fit a standing rack.
Berry Ave Broom Holder & Wall Mount Garden Tool
Use the sliding grips to hold weird handle sizes. My Swiffer WetJet used to slide out of every holder I tried, but this one locks it in. Wish I'd bought it two years ago.
Home-it, Broom and Mop Holder, Wall Mount, 6 Hooks
Keep this in the garage if you've got rakes and shovels fighting for floor space. The hooks fold flat when you're not using them, which sounds small but matters in a tight spot.
Customer reviews for Mop and Broom Holder Wall
Pair two of these side by side if you've got a big family with a million cleaning tools. My sister has four kids and she mounted three of these in her laundry room. Total sanity saver.
Imillet Mop and Broom Holder, Wall Mounted Organizer
Try this if you're renting and worried about wall damage. The grip is strong but the mounting hardware is simple enough to patch when you move out. Tested it in two apartments now.
Gorilla Grip Mop And Broom Holder Has 4 Hooks And 3
Snag this for a garage with concrete walls. Comes with hardware that actually works on tougher surfaces. My neighbor tried three brands before this one finally stayed put on his cinder block.

Over the Door and No Drill Storage Racks
Not everyone can drill into walls. Renting, shared spaces, plaster walls from 1920. These solutions skip the drill entirely and still hold a surprising amount of weight.
Toss this over your closet door and hang dustpans, hand brooms, spray bottles. Zero holes. I used this in my first apartment where the landlord inspected walls like a detective.
Customer reviews for Dseap over the Door Hook Hanger-5
Get these for the bathroom door too. I keep my shower squeegee and cleaning caddy on the back of the door now. Freed up an entire shelf under the sink.
3-Pack Over Door Hooks for Hanging Clothes
Stick a few of these inside your closet for lightweight stuff like feather dusters and microfiber cloths. They hold up for months and peel off clean. Renters, this one's for you.
Command Large Utility Hooks, 7-Hooks
Use these on tile or glass surfaces where screws aren't an option. I stuck two in my laundry room and they've been holding a full-size broom for eight months. Still shocked they work.
(4 pack) Pen+Gear Heavy-Duty Plastic Adhesive Large
Throw this on the side of your fridge or washing machine. Holds a broom right there where you actually need it. For anyone whose kitchen broom lives in a sad corner behind the trash can.
Yamazaki Home Magnetic Folding Hook, Steel
Swap out your flimsy dollar store hooks for these. They distribute weight better so the door doesn't rattle every time you close it. Small detail that drove me crazy until I fixed it.
Simplify 10 Hook over-the-door Closet Organizer, Chrome
Slim Storage Carts for Closet Floors
Once the brooms are off the floor, you suddenly realize there's room for a cart. I slid one in next to the vacuum and now all my cleaning supplies live in one spot instead of scattered under three sinks.
Slide this into the gap between your wall-mounted brooms and the vacuum. Fits cleaning sprays, trash bags, extra sponges. For anyone who keeps finding Windex bottles in random cabinets.
Ronlap 3 Tier Slim Rolling Storage Cart
Try the four-tier version if your closet is tall. I keep the bottom tier for heavy stuff like floor cleaner jugs and the top for microfiber cloths. Rolls out smooth on carpet too.
SPACEKEEPER Slim Rolling Storage Cart 4 Tier Bathroom
Grab this if you want something cheap that just works. Mine has survived two moves and a toddler who uses it as a scooter. The wheels still roll fine somehow.
Mainstays 3-Tier Plastic Rolling Laundry Cart, Arctic White
Use this in the bathroom if your closet is full. I wedged one between the toilet and the wall and now all my bathroom cleaners are in arms reach instead of under the kitchen sink.
Walmart Has an $89 Slim Rolling Cart on Sale for 63% Off
Get the heavy duty version if you're storing big detergent bottles or a steam mop. The regular carts sag with weight over time. Learned that lesson the expensive way.
Simple Houseware 3-Tier Kitchen Cart Metal Utility Rolling
Keep this in the laundry room for detergent, dryer sheets, stain remover. Rolls right up to the machine when you need it and tucks away after. Beats digging through a cluttered shelf.
Honey-Can-Do 3-Tier Rolling Craft Cart with Handle, White
Closet Shelf and Door Organizers
Brooms off the floor was step one. Step two was realizing my closet shelves were a disaster of tangled extension cords and random batteries. These fixed that in one Saturday afternoon.
Throw an extra shelf halfway up your closet wall. Suddenly you've got a spot for light bulbs, batteries, and all that stuff you shove in a junk drawer. Takes maybe 20 minutes to install.
ClosetMaid 3 Ft. Wire Shelf Kit with Hardware
Use this on a closet shelf for spray cans and small bottles. Keeps everything visible so you stop buying duplicates. I found four bottles of glass cleaner when I finally organized mine.
Mainstays 3-Tier Can Organizer Dispenser Rack
Pair two of these on your top shelf to double your storage without any tools. Just set them down and stack. Great if you're short on time and patience like me.
Mainstays Metal Wire Stacking Shelf Organizer
Toss this on the inside of your closet door for spray bottles and small tools. Keeps the door functional without blocking the shelves behind it. Smart use of dead space.
Elfa Mesh White 80" Over the Door Rack
Get a few of these for grouping small items. One bin for batteries, one for tape and glue, one for random hardware. Beats the shoebox system I was using for way too long.
mDesign Plastic Stackable Baby Food Storage Bin
Try this rail system if you want something modular you can rearrange later. I moved hooks around three times before finding the right layout. With a pegboard you'd be drilling new holes each time.
Rubbermaid Garage FastTrack 5-Piece Starter Kit
Vacuum and Large Tool Storage Solutions
The vacuum was always the thing blocking everything else. Once I found a way to store it vertically and tuck the hose away, the rest of the closet finally made sense.
Switch to wall-mounting your vacuum if it's taking up half the closet floor. This bracket holds the Shark upright and the hose wraps around the back. Reclaimed so much space I actually gasped.
Englewood Marketing Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe
Grab this if you've got a Dyson cordless just leaning against the wall. It charges while mounted and keeps the attachments organized. No more stepping on random brush heads in the dark.
Dyson DC58 DC59 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Wall Mount
Use this to coil your vacuum hose on the wall instead of letting it snake across the floor. Small fix, big difference. Especially if you trip over it every single morning like I did.
Central Vacuum Hose Hanger
Keep your stepladder flat against the wall with these. I used to lean mine in the corner where it would slowly slide and crash at 2 a.m. These hold it flush and out of the way.
50 lb. Heavy-Duty Wall Mounted Steel Wall Hook in Black
Toss your extension cords and wrapping paper in this wall-mounted holder. Sounds random but those long awkward items are the worst closet offenders. Finally gave them a proper home.
Rubbermaid Wrap N' Craft Plastic Wrapping Paper
Ditch your mismatched cleaning tools and start fresh with a matching set that actually fits standard wall holders. My old broom handle was too thick for every mount I tried. This set solved it day one.
Scotch-Brite No-Dust Broom
