When My Neighbor Filled Her Cart With Cooling Racks I Didn’t Understand. Then She Showed Me Why

For any homeowner looking for solutions to better organize their house, inexpensive life hacks can go a long way. There are a number of products on the market that can make a pantry or closet more organized, but many of these solutions come with a high price tag. We’ve found an inexpensive idea that will inspire you to declutter your home.

Best of all, you can pick up the material at most dollar stores. This particular DIY hack requires a simple metal cooling rack.

Cooling racks are used to cool baked goods after they come out of the oven, but there are a number of other clever uses for the baking tool.

Hanging organizer: Using some inexpensive clips, attach pencil holders to the metal racks. You can keep office supplies, such as paper clips, pens, scissors, and pencils, or you might put it to good use in the bathroom, storing makeup and brushes in each cup.

Shoe drying rack: This is a simple hack for when the kids come in from outside with muddy, wet, or snowy shoes and boots. Place the wet shoes on a metal rack and they will have the air flow necessary to dry completely, rather than allowing the shoes or boots to sit in a puddle.

Glasses organizer: If you’ve got many pairs of glasses or sunglasses, chances are they go missing or end up broken, but you can simply hang them on a cooling rack. There’s no chance of them getting crushed in a handbag or stuffed in a drawer and forgotten about with this organizer.
