one In the kitchen
If space permits, you can allocate one of the kitchen cabinets for household equipment and cleaning products. It is better to place it closer to the entrance, so that it is more convenient to get what you need without interfering with the one who cooks.
Make sure that household chemicals are not stored near groceries. Even when closed, containers can evaporate toxic substances that will accumulate in food. There should be a decent distance between the storage of food and chemicals.

You will arrange household chemicals and rags on the shelves, and fix a vacuum cleaner, a mop, a dustpan and a broom on the wall. You can use convenient transformer modules, with their help it will be possible to make the most of the empty area of the laundry room for storage.

5 In the hall
In the hallway, you can put a separate closet for household needs or combine it with the main storage system. Placing cleaning items near the entrance is convenient. The dirty area in the hallway requires much more frequent cleaning than the living room or bedroom. It’s great if everything you need for this is at hand, because it’s much easier to quickly walk the vacuum cleaner from the next closet than to drag it from the other side of the room. So dirt in your house will be less, and cleaning will be faster. If there is not much space, use narrow niches, as in the example below. There is a narrow locker here, but everything you need fits well.
