10 Keep a basket of fresh toiletry supplies for each bathroom in one central location. That way you can see at a glance what needs replenishing, and products won’t take up precious space in each bathroom.
11 Keep nontoxic cleaning products close at hand, but away from linens, ina bucket on the floor. Hazardous items should be kept out of reach of children.
12 If you have a long linen tablecloth, hang it on the back of the door, over two wooden hangers, protecting it from the wood with a double-folded layer of acid-free tissue. Add another layer of tissue on top of the cloth to protect it from dust. Alternatively, roll the cloth around a cardboard tube, then add a layer of acid-free tissue.

This is such a perfect help for those of us who would like to get the "almost-perfect" and very practically organized and neat linen closet. Many thanks :-)
I really like the idea of keeping each person's linens separate from the others, instead of all sheets on one shelf, all towels on another. I would love to have a large linen closet that I could fit baskets in and have space to separate items. When I do, it will be as organized and look as nice as your lovely example. Thanks for the ideas.
