How to Keep Cleaning Supplies Organised, Accessible and Off the Floor

September 10, 2026 4 min read

A practical guide to bottle holders, PPE dispensers and janitorial storage for cleaner, safer workplaces

Keeping cleaning chemicals, PPE and washroom supplies organised can make a significant difference to the safety, efficiency and appearance of any workplace.

In busy environments such as healthcare facilities, food preparation areas, commercial washrooms, schools, care homes and janitorial cupboards, bottles and consumables can quickly end up on floors, worktops and around sinks.

Not only does this create unnecessary clutter, but poorly stored cleaning products can also create trip hazards, make cleaning areas harder to maintain and reduce staff efficiency.

One simple solution is to use wall-mounted bottle holders, PPE dispensers and hygiene storage racks to keep essential products secure, visible and within easy reach.

At SOS Hygiene, we supply four practical storage solutions designed to help businesses make better use of wall space while keeping cleaning and hygiene products organised.

Why Keep Cleaning Products Off the Floor?

Cleaning bottles and containers are often stored wherever there is space. In a busy janitorial cupboard or washroom, that can mean floors and work surfaces quickly become overcrowded.

Wall-mounted storage provides a straightforward alternative.

1. Improve workplace organisation

Wall-mounted bottle holders and dispensers give cleaning products a designated location. Staff can quickly see where products belong and return them after use.

This can help reduce clutter and make cleaning cupboards, wash stations and utility areas easier to manage.

2. Make cleaning products easier to access

When bottles and PPE are stored at a convenient height, staff don't need to search through cupboards or move other products out of the way.

A well-organised storage system can therefore make routine cleaning tasks quicker and more efficient.

3. Make better use of available space

Floor and worktop space is often limited, particularly in smaller washrooms and janitorial areas.

Using the wall as additional storage space can free up valuable surfaces while keeping frequently used products close at hand.

4. Support a cleaner-looking environment

Organised cleaning and hygiene areas create a more professional appearance and make it easier for teams to maintain good housekeeping standards.


Four Practical Hygiene Storage Solutions

SOS Hygiene supplies a selection of robust storage products suitable for demanding commercial and professional environments.

Apron & Glove Dispenser

The Apron & Glove Dispenser (APGLMWH) provides a convenient wall-mounted solution for keeping disposable aprons and gloves readily available.

The heavy-duty mild steel construction is designed for regular use, while the dispenser can accommodate standard apron rolls and up to three glove boxes.

Ideal for:

  • Healthcare environments
  • Food preparation areas
  • Commercial kitchens
  • Cleaning cupboards
  • Washrooms
  • Janitorial stations

Having PPE in a clearly designated location can make it easier for staff to access gloves and aprons when required, while reducing clutter on worktops.

5 Litre Bottle Holder

Triple 1 Litre Bottle Hygiene Rack

By keeping bottles banked in one dedicated location, the rack can help prevent individual containers from being left around sinks, wash stations or worktops.

Its compact design makes it particularly useful where several products need to be kept together in a small area.

Ideal for:

  • Wash stations
  • Commercial washrooms
  • Cleaning areas
  • Healthcare environments
  • Food preparation facilities

Choosing the Right Bottle Holder or PPE Dispenser

The right storage solution depends on the products being used and the available space.

For PPE:
Choose the Apron & Glove Dispenser if your staff regularly use disposable aprons and gloves.

For 5-litre containers:
The 5L Bottle Holder is designed specifically for larger jerry cans and helps keep them securely stored against a wall.

For 2-litre containers:
The 2L Bottle Holder offers a compact solution for smaller jerry cans.

For multiple 1-litre bottles:
The Triple 1L Bottle Hygiene Rack keeps up to three bottles together at a dedicated wash station.


Where Can Wall-Mounted Hygiene Storage Be Used?

Wall-mounted bottle holders and dispensers can be useful across a wide range of professional environments.

Healthcare & Care Facilities

Cleaning products and PPE often need to be readily accessible while maintaining an organised environment. Dedicated wall storage can help keep frequently used products in consistent locations.

Food Preparation & Catering

Commercial kitchens and food preparation areas can have limited storage space. Wall-mounted bottle holders can help keep cleaning products organised without taking up valuable worktop space.

Commercial Washrooms

In busy washroom environments, keeping cleaning products and hygiene supplies organised can make routine maintenance easier for cleaning teams.

Janitorial Cupboards

Cleaning cupboards can quickly become crowded with chemicals, cloths, equipment and PPE. Using wall space provides an additional storage option without taking up valuable floor area.

Industrial & Commercial Premises

Durable storage solutions can help businesses organise cleaning products across warehouses, factories, offices and other commercial environments.


A Simple Way to Improve Your Cleaning Storage

Good hygiene management isn't just about the products you use. How those products are stored matters too.

Moving bottles, PPE and cleaning consumables away from floors and overcrowded worktops can help create a more organised and efficient working environment.

With the right combination of wall-mounted bottle holders, PPE dispensers and hygiene racks, businesses can make better use of available space while keeping essential cleaning supplies accessible.

At SOS Hygiene, we can help you find practical storage solutions for your workplace.
