Apart from being the main area where personal care takes place, the bathroom serves a variety of purposes, including storage. While this is perfectly normal, there are certain items that have no place in the bathroom, according to the experts.
In this blog post, tub-to-shower conversion expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington explains the top things that shouldn’t be stored in your bathroom.
Medication
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, medications shouldn’t be kept inside the medicine cabinet in your bathroom. Humidity, moisture and medication aren’t a good combination, and can cause your pills to expire prematurely. The ideal temperature for medicine storage is between 68 to 77 degrees, which makes the kitchen a better place for your medication and vitamins.
Non-Waterproof Electronic Devices
If you’re the type who prefers to listen to music or the news while in the shower, invest in waterproof equipment. Better yet, consult your bathroom renovation contractor regarding integrated waterproof and water-compatible electronics so you can watch or listen to news or music without worries. If you keep your hair dryer or flat iron in the bathroom, make sure the electrical outlets are situated where water can’t reach them to avoid any accidents.
Cosmetic Items
Makeup products don’t stand a chance against the heat and moisture inside the bathroom. The same goes for your makeup brushes.These conditions make cosmetics go bad faster by encouraging mold and bacteria to grow and spread.
Jewelry
Jewelry and other accessories, especially those made of sterling silver, are best kept in a cool, dry place. Bathroom humidity can cause your jewelry to tarnish faster.
