3 Things Experts Say You Shouldn’t Store in Your Bathroom

It sounds simple, but one of the best ways to cut clutter in your bathroom and make it more organized is to store less stuff in it. The bathroom should be a private, comfortable and relaxing space, which means it needs to be as organized as possible. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Schaumburg will discuss bathroom storage ideas and provide some bathroom upgrade ideas for your remodeling project.

1. Medicine

According to Reader’s Digest, you shouldn’t store medicine in the medicine cabinet. Ideally, medicines and vitamins should be stored at room temperature between 68 and 77 degrees. The bathroom is often hot and humid, and these conditions cause medicine to become less potent or to go bad before its expiration date.

2. Bills, Mail, Books & Magazines

The Spruce recommends not storing papers, bills and mail in the bathroom because these documents can easily get damaged by moisture. Having bathroom reading material handy might seem like a good idea, but you shouldn’t store books and magazines for the same reason. If you need something to read while in the bathroom, place a bookshelf or magazine rack just outside the bathroom.

3. Cosmetics

Reader’s Digest recommends against storing your makeup products in the bathroom because the moisture and heat can cause them to go bad. Mold and bacteria can also grow faster on the surface of your makeup because of the humid conditions in your bathroom.
