TikTok and Instagram are full of ideas about how to clean your home—and some of them are better than others. Viral hacks are hit or miss, whereas product recommendations are usually a hit. But why stop at cleaning products? Social media is full of solid suggestions for organizing products, too, so once you get your home nice and clean, you can also get it organized. Let’s start in the kitchen: Here are the things TikTokkers swear by.

There are a lot of ready-made, use-specific kitchen organizing products out there. Creators love those and we’ll get to a few, but before that, here are some more unique options, like things you can grab at a dollar store and use in multifunction ways.

First, a lot of TikTokkers agree with me that turntables or lazy Susans are the holy grail of organization and sorting, both in the kitchen and beyond it. It’s true: Spinning racks give you the opportunity to store similar items together while still giving them a hierarchy. The things you use less can be stored in the back, but you can still access them with a quick spin of the turntable if you need them. Obviously, you associate these with spices (and should use one in the spice cabinet, if you have room), but they’re also perfect for the fridge, cleaning products, snacks, and smaller cook- and dinnerware, like cups. Get a pack of four for $24.99.

The creator behind the video linked above also suggested something I thought was really smart: using book organizers in the kitchen. I’m a big fan of using containers to keep similar items together and give them all a designated storage space, but removing lids and stacking bins can get in the way of efficiency—an issue the book organizers solve. They’re open in the front, but still structured enough to hold things like spices, snacks, or smaller goods. Six are $15.

Then again, you can’t go wrong with a bunch of small, basic, plastic containers. They hold ingredients, spices, snacks, and whatever else you have an abundance of in the kitchen, and they’re beloved even though they’re simple.

Finding ways to fit all your kitchen essentials into dollar store containers is one thing. Sometimes, you need products that are designed for very specific needs within the room. A great example is this plastic structure that holds soup and vegetable cans:

This makes use of vertical space so your cans don’t take up too much space spread out in your cupboard, but also aren’t just stacked cans precariously on top of each other. You have a few options here. One like the organizer shown in the video will cost about $50, but you can also get wire organizers for cheaper, in the neighborhood of $23. I also like this can organizer that fits around the interior of your cabinet, providing additional shelving space on top while keeping space free in the center. It’s $26.99.

I’ve also had my eye on a dry goods dispenser like the one featured in this video. There are a variety on the market, but this simple one ($36) has six compartments and is perfect for storing and dispensing flour, sugar, cereal, rice, etc. Because I’m a stickler about matching decor, I’m waiting until a pink one goes on sale before I pull the trigger, but check it out:

If you watch the video above, you’ll also notice pull-out cabinet organizers. I love these for the same reason as turntables: They make it super easy to access what you need in the back without making a mess to get it. Perfect for larger ingredients and cleaning supplies, these will keep your cabinets organized for around $50.
