Expert-Approved Target Spring Cleaning and Organizing Solutions

Mar 14, 2025

With the weather finally beginning to warm, there’s no better time for a seasonal home refresh. Whether you’re setting aside time for a spring deep clean or in the market for some sleek new storage solutions to tidy up drawers and cabinets, having a few clever products on hand can save time and effort.

As part of our Shop This List series, professional home organizer Janelle Lam stopped by the studio to share a selection of cleaning and organizing staples she loves, all available at Target. Starting with storage, Lam offered her go-to solution for the often unused vertical space under your bathroom or kitchen sink, making it easier to access your products. She also found a space-saving under-the-bed bin that’s perfect for storing out of season clothes, bedding and more, while keeping them easy-access.

For the kitchen, Lam shared a set of multi-purpose mixing bowls that easily nest together and, thanks to grippy nonslip bases, they also won't slide around while you're whipping and stirring. For the home cooks and bakers, she also recommended an ingredient storage set designed to keep your goods fresh for longer (even pesky brown sugar!), while also streamlining your pantry. As for deep cleaning, she found an electronic squeegee tool that leaves hard surfaces like backsplashes, shower walls, windows and mirrors streak-free. And for good measure, an on-the-go car freshening hack that’s just $5!

Cleaning windows, mirrors, shower walls and other hard surfaces can be time-consuming, so Lam is calling on this electric squeegee to cut your time down, making the job near-effortless. It vacuums up dirty water as you clean, eliminating drips and streaks for a sparkling, crystal-clear finish. It’s also cordless and provides 25 minutes of uninterrupted runtime, so as long as you charge it in between uses, cleaning is a breeze.

Say goodbye to half-full flour bags and hardened brown sugar. This sleek Prepworks set is a great way to streamline your pantry and make baking more enjoyable, Lam shared. With easy-latch lids and silicone seals, the airtight containers help to keep your ingredients fresh. The clear plastic and measurement markings on the side make it easy to see how much of your pantry essentials you have left. The set also features unique functions, such as a terracotta piece at the top of one container designated for brown sugar, which keeps moisture out and prevents crystallization. Additionally, built-in levelers ensure you get the perfect cup and spoon measurements every time. Best of all, all pieces are dishwasher safe.

Lam loves this set because the it’s not only functional, but space-saving. The three bowls neatly nest together and double as containers, thanks to the included lids. A total kitchen essential, they’re perfect for storing leftovers, bringing a prepared dish to a picnic and even for chilling dough in the fridge while you’re baking. Plus, they’re dishwasher safe, so clean-up is simple. With nonslip silicone bases, they’ll stay in place on the counter as you mix and stir. They’re even a Target wedding registry favorite! Score them in sage green, off-white or lavender.

With everything from cleaning bottles to hair tools stored under the bathroom sink, it tends to be a tricky spot to organize. Lam’s tip? Maximize vertical space with this three-drawer organizer, which she calls her go-to solution! The wire drawers make it easy to see and access anything you need, while the flat surface on top provides an additional shelf. Lam notes that it’s great in the bathroom, but it also works well in the kitchen, office or closet.

As you prepare for the change of seasons, rotating cold weather gear out and warm weather clothes in will help you to maximize your closet or dresser space.
