Organize Bathrooms in 3 Easy Steps
Be able to find what you need when you need it. No more searching for a q-tip or looking for lost bottles of lotion.
3 Steps to Success
- Sort into like with like piles. No brainer toss list:
- Bottles with too little to save
- Samples for things you do not use
- Gifts with makeup purchased in colors you do not wear
- Expired medications
- Tub toys that are mildewed
- Old and worn toothbrushes
- Excessive duplicates of items
- Contain and label
- Store like with like in small containers clearly labeled
- Label the shelves in the closet and the medicine cabinet (it makes it easier to find, to put things away and to know what you are out of)
- Hang an over the door pantry organizer or a shoe holder on the back of the door and fill with bottles, the scale, tub toys and so on
- Use a cutlery tray on the drawer to organize your makeup
- Make a few first aid kits by category- minor scrap, sprain, major cut etc. this avoid you having to weed through a large box of stuff for a band aid
- Separate the medications by type and store them in small containers, allergy, cold and flu, headache etc.
- Keep a basket just for the samples you receive so you can put out for guests to use
- Place barrettes on a decorative strand of ribbon
- Place scrunchies on a paper towel roll
- Designate what shelf will be for what in the medicine cabinet use under the shelf organizers for items like the toothpaste and razors
- Use organizers on the backs of the cabinet doors to maximize your space
- Keep the inside of the shower clutter free by giving each member of the family a shower caddy which they bring to the shower, use and put back on a shelf in the linen closet is a good storage place
- Maintain the space:
- Weed the medicine cabinet and closet bi-annually when you change the clocks
- If you don't use an item in a year, like a headband, let it go
- Store only what you use in the bathroom, keep the excess in an overflow space, this also goes for items like barrettes, if you have too many, place some in a sip lock bag and tuck them away for future use so you can shop at home when you need more
- Tidy up daily, a few minutes a day means no marathon cleaning sessions weekly
- Keep touch up cleaning supplies handy like wipes for the sink
- Make a new family rule, for example, "in our family if we finish it we replace it.
