This “Brilliant” $1 Dollar Tree Find Instantly Eliminates Your Biggest Kitchen Clutter Problem

If you’re a frequent CleanTok scroller, you’re likely already familiar with the abundance of Dollar Tree storage hacks available. The discount retail chain is loaded with versatile products that continuously surprise shoppers with unexpected ingenuity (case in point: DIY picture frame spice racks!). 

With a bit of experimentation and just a few bucks, you can completely transform cluttered kitchen areas like a cleaning pro with just one trip to Dollar Tree. One of the smartest and easiest tricks I’ve seen lately is the wall hook-turned-cord organizer. Dollar Tree’s wall hooks are the best-kept secret to tackling home organization on a budget — who knew?

This simple hack is the most effective approach to streamlining your favorite corded appliances: toasters, blenders, air fryers, mixers, coffee machines, you name it. All you need to do is stick one or two hooks (depending on the individual cord’s length and width) on a flat, well-concealed spot, and wrap the cord away. The smallest of systems can make time in the kitchen feel infinitely more efficient. If you use cutting boards or lamps to hide cords, this is a great opportunity to move things around.

You can also place these hooks throughout the kitchen to optimize the rest of your storage. They can be applied to food containers (for measuring cups and scoopers) and cabinet doors (for oven mitts, pot holders, large utensils, and spare bags). I’ve even seen someone hang a hook on the wall to safe-keep wedding rings while cooking and washing dishes. Beyond the kitchen, you can use these hooks to tidy up long, annoying cords, whether from small electronics or bedside phone chargers. 

Dollar Tree currently has a handful of hook options that can do the job. The selection includes a 4-pack of self-adhesive hooks that’ll match any appliance, a 9-pack of plastic removable wall hooks, and a 2-pack of wood printed hooks. All are priced at an affordable $1.25, and most can be purchased in bulk online.

For more options, you can browse Amazon, which has a wide range of contenders, such as this highly rated 7-pack of clear Command hooks. Whichever hooks find their way into your home will call it a wrap on unnecessary cord clutter!
