Now you will need to go through what you have taken out of you cupboard and work out what belongs and doesn’t.

Make up wise, if its been in there for more than a year and you haven’t used it, throw it out. This also goes for body washes, lotions and creams. It is also a good idea to go through all Medicine and check the expiry dates. Just remember when getting rid of Medicine’s, if they were prescribed, then take them back to the Pharmacist for them to discard of.

Now have a think about what you really want and need in your bathroom. What room you have in your cupboard and if you think you may need some extra storage in the bathroom.

To make more room in the cupboard, you can put toilet paper (at least a couple of rolls) in a basket next to the Toilet or at the back or the toilet. These days there are some great basket options, they now make very attractive baskets in resin, that are easy to clean. You may still end up having to store the bulk of your toilet paper in the linen closet, but at least you have some to hand in the bathroom.

If you don’t have a lot of room in the bathroom cupboard, why not keep one or two spare hand towels in the cupboard and the rest can go in the Linen cupboard, as well as the face cloth’s….This will free up a lot of space!

If you have a cupboard in the bathroom with draws, work out what you use most often and pop those things in the draws ie Makeup, Nail care items, Hair ties, and face creams and cleansers. Then put all the bulk things in the back of the cupboard, but remember not to put them that far back that its a nightmare to get them out. Organize the rest as best suits you and your families needs.

One things I have to suggest, whether you do or do not have children….Keep medicines up high! Even though those of that don’t have kids don’t really have to worry, it’s still a lot easier to put them in a high cupboard. Means if your friends that do have children turn up, you won’t have to worry if they go in the bathroom! You never can be to careful! If you don’t have a high wall cupboard in the bathroom, you could put them in a plastic container and up in the wardrobe or in the Linen cupboard. What ever works well for you.

There are some great plastic containers out there these days, expensive through to cheap and everything in between and they can be great as won’t go moldy or be damaged by the mildew that bathrooms can grow.

Make sure that you open the window every day, even if its just for an hour. It will dry the bathroom out and keep it fresh.
