Kitchen File

This system of organizing all the manuals and instructions for household things works great for us - each category gets it's own folder and they are all hanging in a free standing file box that I keep in a kitchen cabinet so they are always handy. We pull these out all the time and it's nice to have them so conveniently located and in one place.

I have the folders broken down something like this:
-oven/stove
-fridge/freezer/ice maker
-washer/dryer
-outdoors (grill, furniture, etc.)
-small appliances (blender, food processor, etc.)
-tv/direct tv

I also keep take-out menus, pet instructions, trash/recycling info, etc. in hanging folders in another standing file box. Works great for corralling all the little miscellaneous info we need to keep and would otherwise just get piled up or shoved in a drawer!
