Behind the Scenes: Supplies

behindthescenes

After every job, we clean out our supply bags because inevitably the bags get trashed during a job. Tidy Nest team members are working so quickly and using a ton of supplies, that by the end of a project our bags are certified disaster zones.

We like to tackle this task like any other project - pull everything out, categorize, toss obvious trash, replenish low supplies, add new supplies.

We absolutely love these Umbra Rectangular Navy Crunch Bins from The Container Store. They hold everything we need, fold up flat when not in use and the blue denim look hides wear and tear. Plus the braided handles gives the bags a little extra flare. All the supplies are contained in Shannon’s favorite Zippered Vinyl & Mesh Pouches.

Some unexpected items in our supply kits include:

  • Shoe covers

  • Flashlight

  • First aid kit

  • Goo-gone

  • Fanny packs (they’re super helpful and can end up saving you time)


Our Must have items in a supply kit:

  • Shannon: post-its, fanny pack, laminator, step-stool, water

  • Jared: trash bags, first aid kit, binder clips, Velcro cable ties, folding table

  • Taylor: staging signs, sorting cubes, disinfectant wipes,  label maker, tea
