We like to have order at home, but few people like to clean. The more intense our lifestyle, the more reluctant we are to do thorough cleaning, which our apartment demands far too often – especially if we have children. Keeping things tidy amidst the ever-increasing excess of items is not easy, but it is possible, and striving to ensure that all things have their permanent and easily accessible storage places is the foundation of order in the apartment.

Baskets for items that are hard to find space for in cabinets

At Pepco, you will find plenty of baskets, hampers, crates, and containers that make it easier to keep in check all those items for which it is difficult to find space in cabinets, on shelves, or in drawers. Storage accessories can be used in the kitchen and bathroom, as well as in the children's room or as part of a storage system in the wardrobe. We recommend:

  • Grey textile baskets with thick rope handles, decorated with the white inscription HOME (dimensions to choose from: 30 x 19 x 17 cm – PLN 10; 33 x 23 x 20 cm – PLN 15; 40 x 28 x 22 cm – PLN 20)
  • Black metal basket with a hook for hanging and a plaque with the inscription HOME. The basket has a wooden base, so you can place bathroom accessories or herb pots in it (dimensions: 21 x 12.5 x 23.5 cm, price: PLN 15)
  • Baskets woven from hyacinth grass in a natural color (dimensions: 15 x 12 x 12 cm – PLN 10; 28 x 18 x 15 cm – PLN 20; 33 x 22.5 x 17 cm – PLN 25; 38 x 27 x 20 cm – PLN 35)
Home laundry room equipment

If we care about the perfect condition of the bathroom, we should definitely invest in two baskets: one for dirty laundry (model with a lid 38.4 x 28.2 x 50.3 cm – PLN 50) or for laundry taken out of the dryer, off the line, or intended for ironing (with handles: 51.8 x 38 x 23.2 cm – PLN 25). Both models are available in grey and will perfectly fit the style of any room. It is also worth finding space for a new ironing board (with an aluminum mesh and soft cotton cover, an iron rest, 8-step height adjustment – maximum 96 cm; dimensions: 125 x 33.5 x 87-96 cm, folded 144.5 x 33.5 cm; price: PLN 70). Complete home laundry room equipment guarantees that neither dirty nor clean clothes will be left lying around in inappropriate places while waiting to be put in the washing machine or wardrobe.

Brooms and dustpans

When all items have their permanent storage places, it is easier and quicker to sweep or wipe the floor. An indispensable helper in both these activities will be a silicone broom. It is suitable for sweeping or wet cleaning, has bristles of varying thickness and a squeegee for water drainage, as well as a hanging handle. Of course, we can also opt for the classic approach and, instead of buying a whole broom, just replace the worn-out head on the stick with a plastic one with stiff bristles (price: PLN 5) or a wooden one with stiff bristles (PLN 7). For a complete set, it is worth buying a small broom with a dustpan.

Problem areas: children's room and living room

To maintain order in the children's room, it is worth – in addition to large baskets for toy storage – also buying containers for small items, e.g., a pink jewelry box with a mirror, ideal for storing jewelry or other treasures for girls (opening doors and a drawer, with a Minnie Mouse print, dimensions: 16 x 9.5 x 25.8 cm, price: PLN 30). In the living room, more than small items, the impression of chaos and disorder is caused by large items, especially textiles: carelessly thrown blankets, an excess of pillows, newspapers or books left on the sofa. A pouf with a quilted pattern and an opening lid will solve the problem. You can comfortably rest your tired legs on it, and use the interior as additional storage.

Of course, at Pepco you can also buy all the basic cleaning accessories, such as sponges, cloths, scouring pads, or textile cleaning heads for mops. When you enter any of our stores, just a glance at the shelves in the home organization accessories section is enough to immediately create a precise plan in your head for tidying up the space around you, a small rearrangement, or equipping your apartment with items that will help keep clutter under control.
