We had a handyman help install some better pipes under our kitchen sink yesterday. It got me thinking of my phobia of what's under a kitchen sink. For some reason, it is often a storage space for "gross." Trash can be under it, which is covenient (but gross if old food is stuck to the walls of the cupboard). In the south, I heard people used to store coffee cans of used bacon grease under there. Chemicals and cleaning supplies are stashed, sometimes old and corroded, having been there for years.
O.K., think of this. If you suddenly had a leak and had to have a plumber come in, would he easily be able to crawl under your kitchen sink? Take a peek and see what can be done there to organize it and keep it from getting gross.
A suggestion: one little organizing plastic tote made all the difference for me. It has a handle with sides to put bottles of dish soap, Mr. Clean, dishwasher detergent, etc. I try to keep everything in that, so it looks organized, can be pulled out easily, and doesn't gross me out.
