I Heart OXO

I'll admit it; there are quite a few perks for being a blogger, like when you get a large box from UPS filled with useful items from a favorite brand.

Such is the case with OXO. I've long been acquainted with their wonderful kitchen gadgets, but now that I've gotten my hands on some of their cleaning and organizing supplies, my neat-freak obsessiveness is flying high as a kite.

An aside note: as part of their blogger outreach program, they not only sent an amazing assortment of items, but had so thoughtfully tagged the items with clever and helpful description cards that give a little background or an interesting tidbit about the item.  One reads: 

MINI MOP
"The product team went out to some of New York City's smallest bathrooms and measured the space between the toilet and the walls. That's dedication!"

You've said it yourself OXO PR folks. Dedication.

Back to our regular programming.   On to storage and organization!

OXO has so many items for keeping you organized, from the pantry to the kitchen sink.  We've found their slim-profile Compact Sink Set to be really useful on our old-fashioned sinktop.  And the stainless steel look complements our kitchen.
It comes with a sponge and nylon brush with a built-in scraper. I like that it's stored head-down for better drying.

I'm also a fan of OXO's Interlocking Deep Drawer Bins.
They're great for making the most of available space in drawers especially, but they work equally well in our pantry.  The rubber grips on the bottom prevent them from sliding around (perfect for drawers) and they come in a variety of sizes to fit your space.
I'm using the larger one above as a baking box, something I've always wanted to do in my pantry. It's working out brilliantly thus far, especially that I can easily view the contents through the clear plastic.

One of OXO's best organizational products in my kitchen is the Expandable Drawer Divider.  As OXO's research showed, deep kitchen drawers were cluttered with items that were buried and inaccessible.  The Expandable Drawer Divider certainly helped corral this mess:
into this:
I can finally find the right lid to my pot without pulling everything out of the drawer and pulling out my arsenal of curse words.

One other helpful organizing tool that we use in the kitchen is the Plug-In Charging Shelf.  We keep chargers tangled up in a drawer, but now it's much easier to have it neatly coiled around this little shelf.
You simply plug your phone in, then rest it on the shelf. No cords to get in the way, since they're wound around the cord spool.

OXO also sent some fantastic cleaning tools, including an assortment of scrub brushes ranging from the deep-cleaning, toothbrush-sized to the heavy duty scrub brush,
The Mini Mop, with its 8" wide mop head, is great for small spaces like bathrooms and doesn't take up much space in the utility closet.  Their dual-purpose Scrub & Squeegee and microfiber  Cleaning Mitt with its comfy elastic cuff will ensure that dust bites the dust most gracefully around our abode.
Truly, I have no excuse now for a dirty house.  OXO has every angle covered, even the crevices and cracks, of which our house has many.

You can find SOOOOOOO many more items for cleaning and organizing and beyond at OXO, even things like toilet paper holders and over the door hooks.  Perfect for inspiring spring cleaning and organizing.
Disclosure: I received a variety of complementary items from OXO for review purposes.  All opinions are my own, and are probably a little bit over-enthusiastic. What can I say, I'm an organizing junkie.
