20 stylish things that will help you organize your life and home this fall

Originally published on Reviewed.com.

When autumn arrives and the heat finally yields, my mind turns to cleaning. Maybe it’s all those leaves falling; maybe it’s because the tidying I did last spring has given way to paper piles and clothing avalanches. Once the kids are back in school, and summer fun has subsided, I can finally find time to focus on getting my home in order.

Here are a few gadgets that will make easy work of cleaning and organizing your home, from top to bottom, this fall.

1. This sleek dual-purpose cleaner

Did you forget your laptop wasn’t a touch screen? Erase those embarrassing fingerprints with this screen cleaning mist.

Personal technology that’s always in hand picks up germs everywhere, as well as oils from your hands and face. Get rid of bacteria, dirt, and oils with chemical-free, antibacterial cleaner like this one, gentle enough for technology but strong enough get rid of all the ick. These refillable spray bottles are great to stash everywhere, and the sides double as microfiber wipes.

2. This stylish microfiber cloth for your glasses and screens

Skip the shirtsleeve and reach for this chic cloth next time your glasses are a little dirty.

You’ll want to clean your devices and glasses safely and gently to ensure they’re fingerprint- and scratch-free; rubbing that smart phone or remote control on your jeans won’t cut it. Declan’s microfiber cloths are so handsome you could wear them as pocket squares—and they’ll clean your screens without scratching.

3. Storage boxes you’ll want to keep on display

These stylish, sturdy boxes come in a range of sizes and colors, and they’re made to make sense of your unruly piles of paper. Thick recycled fiberboard means they can stand up to some weight, and the canvas paper they’re covered in make them a handsome addition to a bookshelf. The leather pulls are the icing on your tidy cake. I love this two-drawer box for bills and school forms, and this two-box set of bigger boxes for more significant storage.

4. Smart storage labels that let you digitally peek inside boxes

When you’re on a cleaning spree, lots of things get put away, but as time goes on you forget where they are, and retrieving items can be an all-day affair of pulling down bins off high garage shelves, or digging through stuffed drawers and closets. These ingenious stickers have bar codes that you can place on the boxes or bins you store your stuff in. Use the app to assign items to a box as you store them. Then when you’re looking for something specific, scan the barcode to instantly “see” what’s inside without having to open it. Perfect for garage storage, home office organization, or summer/winter wardrobe storage.

5. A small scanner to digitize your paper documents

Paper piles are no match for the Doxie Q, a scanner you can take with you anywhere, no computer or wires required. Its automatic document feeder lets you line up as many as eight pages to be digitized at a time, making it easy to send files to digital storage and get rid of the paper that’s taking up space and cluttering your desk. The Doxie app lets you store your files locally, or you can send them to popular cloud services like Evernote, Dropbox, or OneNote. Photos, receipts, recipes… there’s no end to what you can organize.

Your desk has finite real estate, and anything that helps add precious inches can cut back on clutter.

Earbuds become a tangled mess before you can dial up a Taylor Swift song on Spotify.

Run the cord around the perimeter of this silicone donut, and rest the buds in the center (they’ll stay put thanks to the magnet). No more missed calls or listening to music through a pretzel knot.
