I put all my pot and pan lids in a drawer. Works great and I can always find what I need!

Try using mustard to remove the odor, we used to use mustard on our hands when I worded at Krystals (many many years ago). It was the only thing that would get the onion smell off your hands. I have used it on other things and it worked.

We use one for hats, mittens, and scarves too. You can even clothespin damp items to the outside of the plastic ‘bin’ part while they dry out. I haven’t lost a glove in two winters now.

We use a heavy-duty clear one on the back of the door of our home office. It holds all those random electronic tidbits: cell phone cords, backup camera battery, plastic case with the extra SD card, etc etc etc! I hated all that stuff that just accumulated in a messy pile. The shoe bag is perfect. It has to be heavy duty, though. Electronics tend to be hefty.

Nice blog. Thanks for your tips!

I would try stuffing it with some newspaper to absorb the odor or a small sachel of baking soda.

Also, Costco’s brand of coffee (which is delicious) still comes in a regular can. I don’t know for how long before they switch to plastic, but I’ve been hording empty cans for about two years!

I tear off the paper, paint the can white and stencil decorations. They hold Christmas ornaments, garland, etc.

Maybe some type or vinegar/water solution? Or lemon juice/water? Just an idea … haven’t tried it.
