one Use boxes and containers
With the help of storage accessories, namely boxes and containers, it is much easier to sort things in the pantry, which means more accurate storage. Boxes occupy most of the surface of the shelves, preventing dust from accumulating on them. During cleaning, it is much easier to rearrange the box of small items, rather than dusting under each individual item.

3 Use hanging storage
The easiest way to clean empty shelves. You don’t have to move or rearrange anything. But where then to put all the things that are usually located on them? Alternatively, they can be hung on the wall. Screw in a few hangers, stretch the rope, and hang clothespins on it — you can store small items on them. So you make storage more convenient, every thing will be in sight and the shelves themselves will remain as free as possible, which will make it easy to wipe dust or dirt from them.

5 Use wall height
The advice to use the height of the walls to the maximum when arranging vertical storage is known. But how can he help with cleaning? Pretty simple: the more shelves you have, the less clutter each one will have. Instead of stacking crates and bags on a pair of large shelves in the center, hang three more smaller ones at the top so you can sort things more properly. Yes, there will be more space for cleaning, but the process will be much easier and the appearance of the room will become better.
6 Turn to modular systems
The pantry space is just a couple of squares of usable area. To make such a room look cleaner, you need to make it as airy as possible. This can be done on such a small footage with the help of suspended modular systems and the rejection of classic shelves and cabinets. With regard to cleaning, this approach is also productive: in modular systems there are almost no flat surfaces where dust and dirt will accumulate, which means that you will have to clean less.
7 hang pegboards
A pegboard wall panel is a very convenient storage accessory — it can be transformed and completed as you like. Alternatively, you can veneer an entire wall in this way: hang frequently used items at eye level, and less popular items at the top or bottom. By the way, on such a wall you can arrange several storage areas at once, in addition to the “adult” one, you can also equip the “nursery”, below, so that it would be more convenient for the child to get his things out of there.
