Ten Tips to Organize Your Bathroom

Description: Tips for keeping your bathroom clean and organized.

If several household members are sharing a bathroom, follow
these tips to help organize it.
1. Clean out every drawer and shelf in the bathroom. Get
rid of anything that isn't being used.
2. Move your medicines to the kitchen. The heat and steam
in the bath can ruin them.
3. Give each household member a different colored basket
to fill with toiletries. No sharing. Make sure everyone has
their own toothpaste, eye drops, cosmetics and grooming
supplies. Each person will keep the basket in his or her
bedroom.
4. Evaluate your storage. You will need places for:
towels, nail care, extra paper, feminine hygiene products,
hair care and back-up supplies of soap and shampoo.
Nothing else belongs in the bathroom.
5. Use a shower/bath caddy for shampoo and soap. They
are inexpensive and are available in many different styles.
6. Set up a drip-dry container for bath toys if you have
small children. Cut slits in an empty wipes box for an
inexpensive solution.
7. Make space for a small, lidless hamper or laundry
basket. Otherwise, have a system for depositing used
towels in the laundry room.
8. Use hooks instead of towel racks for kids. They'll be
more likely to use them. Have as many hooks and/or
towel racks as you have persons using the bathroom.
9. Make a checklist of all products in your bathroom as
well as those used by each individual. Review weekly
before shopping.
10. Explore the variety of storage options you can use in
the bath. Small countertop drawers can organize cotton
balls and Q-Tips. Cutlery trays in drawers, plastic shelves
under the sink, caddies which attach to doors, and rolling
carts can all contain the clutter that so often accumulates
in this much-used room.
