Spring cleaning storage and achieving a sparkly home!

With the rise of home and cleaning accounts on Instagram, if you haven’t been inspired to get your spring clean on then you are missing out! Alongside the traditional cleaning product must-haves, we think our lockable storage solution can help you achieve your tidy home dreams. Making spring cleaning that little easier by adding some organisation into your lives! I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of decluttering, you can never have too many storage boxes!

Here are our top spring cleaning storage tips!

Let’s start with the fridge…. 

What better place to start your spring clean than the fridge. First, you need to pull everything out…yes even those jars that have been in there for years. Next…declutter! Now is the time to be ruthless, you need to throw away all the things that are no longer in date and ensure you only keep the things you use regularly. Finally…restock. 

To prevent future cluttering you can label zones in the fridge to let each family member know where their things are and where they should put them back. Decreasing the chance of rummaging! Even better, why not assign each member of the family a Lockabox One in the fridge. They can keep their treats safe and secure. Our lockable storage boxes are made from food-grade polycarbonate and have been carefully designed for storage within the fridge. In addition, our shelf packs come with a base shelf that holds spillages and ensures they do not contaminate the food or make a mess of the rest of the fridge!

Get those cupboards sparkling…tap to tidy! 

Food cupboards can be a nightmare. I am sure we all have some items in the cupboards that we would rather not own up to. The ones that may be just a little past their sell-by date! 

By decluttering and ensuring you keep on top of your cupboards, you can save money by avoiding buying duplicates and making sure you use the ingredients before they pass that dreaded sell-by date. Why not take inspiration from Stacey Solomon, the queen of tap to tidy, and use our Lockabox to help keep your cupboards clean and organised. 

Not only does our lockable storage help with organisation, but they also allow you to keep certain treats safe and secure from wandering hands! If you have little ones that help themselves to the treat cupboard then you need a Lockabox. The three-digit combination lock deters curious little ones and can ensure once treats are inside the box, that is where they will stay!

Refresh that old-fashioned medicine cabinet….

Medicine cabinets are fast becoming a thing of the past. However, the need for safe storage of medicine remains paramount. Our lockable storage box is the perfect modernised medicine cabinet, keeping medicine safe and secure whilst also taking up minimum space and appearing stylish within the home. 

Why not tidy out your medicine cabinet using our top tips below, and transfer to our Lockabox where you know medicines will be safely locked away and out of harm’s way!

1. Keep all medicines/harmful chemicals in their original containers – do not transfer to another container such as a plastic bottle. 
2. Make sure bottle tops and lids are firmly closed when not in use (remember: that child-resistant packaging is not child-proof – it just slows children down. Scarily some 3-4-year-olds can open them in seconds.)
3. Keep harmful substances locked away in a medicine storage box such as Lockabox (Lockabox One™ Jet). Ensure that bottle tops and lids are still firmly closed for an extra level of protection. 
4. Ensure harmful substances are kept out of reach – with a Lockabox, we recommend placing the product on a high surface for an extra level of protection.

Now you have completed all of the above, you have a home fit for Instagram and are officially spring cleaning goals…we would love to see your pictures! Tag us on Instagram @Lockabox and we will make sure we share on our stories.
