Is there a special way to clean it?

Let's wal...I'm obsessed w/ shoe organizers. Let's walk thru my shoe-organized home: Master bath has 2 doors, so one on each door. One is my socks, one for hubby's socks. Bathroom cabinet door interiors each have shoe bags that I cut down to size for pills, band-aids, ointments, hair bands, whatever. Bathroom cabinet wall interiors also have shoe bags behind plumbing and on sides for cleaners, wash cloths, whatever. Bedroom closet has one on door for "intimates" (bras, slips, bathing wear, etc.); b/c it's a sort of large open closet, it tends to become a dumping ground for the day's items, so I installed another one for the random things that end up on the closet floor: Writing utensils, paperwork (receipts, stubs, etc), buttons, coins, whatever. I then distribute the items to their true homes throughout the house when I get time. I cut down shoe bags to fit the side of my bed. I attached them to the bed skirt all around the bed and they are hidden by the duvet hanging over the side. This eliminates any need for beside tables and they're used for shoes, books we're reading now, phones, headphones, book lights, Vix, pens, etc. It's easy-access hidden storage that has eliminated the bedside clutter! Moving on to the laundry room, I have one on back of door for our large cords, cameras, chargers, iPod accessories, batteries, travel converters, etc. (More frequently-used smaller cords go on Command hooks inside cabinets in laundry room.) Spare bedroom door has my craft items: glue, specialty pens, etc. In the kitchen, I attached them to the back of my china cabinet (which is on casters). You can't see them from anywhere in the kitchen and they hold our less-used items: extra hot sauces, Indian pickles, Asian vinegars, etc. Whenever I need them, I just roll the cabinet out a smidge, grab my item, & roll it back. It's eliminated three whole shelves worth of items!!! Cabinet door interiors have cut-to-size shoe-bags that hold frequently used powdered marinades, etc. (Kitchen utensils, like spatulas, go on Command hooks on side of oven; out of sight, but easy access.) In the office, we only have one tiny organizer on the desk w/ one pen, one pair of scissors, stapler, one roll of tape, etc. Everything else (mice, pens, pencils, CDs, paperclips, etc.) goes in the shoe bag behind the door, out of sight, since the office door is usually open! Bathroom door in guest bathroom has something similar to a shoe-bag. It's designed to hold magazines, though. Then there's the garage! The entire wall has a long row of shoe bags. I put them two-deep (meaning that I hung them with one facing the wall and one facing the space), so it looks like there's only one bag there, but it's double the storage! I have a bag for "Holiday Items," (ribbons, St. Patrick's Day beads, Easter cookie cutters, Halloween costumes, etc.), another for "tools" (hammer, screwdrivers, etc.), another for painting supplies (blue tape, rollers, etc.), another for rarely used electronics&cords (that Walkman we're still not ready to part with, the extra cords to the TV that we'll probably never use, but still aren't ready to toss, etc.)... You get the idea. This garage storage is huge, yet a totally "clean" look, since the whole wall is covered, & takes up virtually no space! Well, that's my semi-embarrassing obsession with The Shoe Bag!
