I had a friend visit. Not a welcome one. A four legged cheese-loving friend. I noticed the evidence one day as I looked under my sink for a microfiber rag for cleaning.
It isn't the first time. I have had experience before and knew what to do. To deal with it, I started by boxing up anything food related into our totes so it didn't tempt him.
Then I started to clean up. While doing so, I realized I should organize under there better.
First, I took everything out (sorry, i didn't shoot a before photo for obvious reasons!). I actually found the place where I think the little rascal got in and I sealed it up. I deep cleaned the cabinet.
Then, I grouped it by category – dish washing stuff, outdoor/plant/fertilizer stuff, special surface stuff, hardwood cleaner, tools, and trash bags:
Next, I took Slide and Stack baskets and organized the groupings, back under the cabinet:
Much better. Maybe it was a "blessing in disguise" to get this area organized. Or at least, as long as he doesn't come back I'll call it that!
