remover. I tried windex, that green stuff that smells like a church bathroom, alchol, bleach cleaner, and dishwasher detergent. what should do the job without removing the paint. The organizer is metal wire racking with a white paint over the top, made by closetmaid. thanks for all the help. (I was thinking goo off or carb cleaner)

Goo Gone-it's awesome! Spray it on, let it soak for a few seconds then wipe off. Repeat as necessary. Then do a quick wipe down with warm dishwater on a rag to get the Goo Gone off (kinda oily). It's not harmful to most surfaces and it smells great (like oranges). Found at Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Basically where ever cleaning supplies are sold.

Are Closetmaid wire closet organizers sturdy and a good value or are they a waste of money?

I have a 6' reach in closet that has just a shelf and a bar going from one side to the other, but this is a waste of space for me. I want something with shelves to put bags on and maybe something for shoes as well. Would one of the Closetmaid wire organizers (suitable for a 6' closet) be a good value for me to buy or are they a waste of money? I can't tell if they'd be sturdy or just junk and I can't find any reviews online. I'm also looking at the Closetmaid laminate tower starter kit and Rubbermaid's wire closet kits. What's the best? Thanks.

I have them. They are sturdy, and work great!

does anyone know where to find a hanging mesh hamper type object? my friend has one. its tall and cylindrical with a diameter of about 1/2 foot and its like 3 feet tall. it has little cubby holes in each of the levels. PLEASE I REALLY NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ORGANZE MY CLOSET

I would try one of three places: Home Depot, Target or Walmart. They usually have those kinds of things at a reasonable price
