How do you store your chargers?

Age old problem I know but bloody cables lying around the kitchen drive me mad.

I already have those windy things to keep the cables neat but my dds hate them and keep unwinding them!

We have a pop up socket in our kitchen island where all the charging generally takes place, we have 3 or 4 Apple chargers for everyone to use.

But also have - beats charger, kindle charger, shower speaker charger...goes on and on!

I've labelled them all but how do you store them? Or do you just leave them lying around?

I just leave them plugged into the various sockets! Or lying on my desk. No organisation Grin

Not the response I was looking for! Grin I like a tidy kitchen!

They need to be plugged in all the time as the baststd devices need charging constantly

topcat2014 · 11/01/2020 17:24

Oh, and get one with about six sockets

I have a little basket for all that sort of of crap. It sits on my desk and lends it a semblance of order...

No chargers in the kitchen. By the bed, in the office or attached to the laptop.

I keep mine in a box.

I long for the day they come up with a solution for a million chargers. For now everyone has a small basket, got them in Penny's/primark and they keep their own chargers in them. I've put a colour code on everyone's charger so that they don't get mixed up and blaming each other for robbing their charger. There's usually a few on the floors beside the sockets if they've been charging overnight and didn't get a chance to put it into their basket. It works for now and saves time looking for them.

Thanks all, @Lipz I like that idea!

I’ve got one of these from Amazon and have a charger cable in each drawer with a label on to say which it is. My family all took the piss but it has made life easier!!

Don't have chargers in the kitchen, find somewhere else for them.

Everytime there's a 'you need loads of plug sockets in your kitchen' thread, I think 'no you fucking don't as they'll attract all the chargers and all the wires' and you'll be forever shifting them around to clean'.
