1) CORD ORGANISER
Loop long wires, such as that of your mobile phone charger, around an organiser disc or rubber spool.
2) CABLE ZIPPER/ CABLE REEL
This flexible plastic “zipper” manages multiple cords. Group the wires of your computer or home entertainment system in one neat bundle inside this hose-like sleeve.
3) VELCRO STRAPS
Bind electric cords together at several points along their lengths to keep them firmly in place.
4) ELECTRICAL TAPE
For the ease of identifying which plug belongs to which appliance, stick electrical tape of a distinct colour to both ends of each cord.
