It’s a constant fight against clutter in the bathroom. We have so many personal care products these days that they all compete for shower and counter space.  Of course nothing is a standard size that would just stack neatly together. Instead you have different sized toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, razors, you name it. So it can be hard figuring out how to minimize bathroom clutter. It doesn’t have to be.

Shelving is your friend:

Don’t’ be afraid to install shelves in the bathroom. You can find all sorts of great do it your self designs or pre-made units at the local improvement store. You can find small units that will fit between the bathroom vanity and commode to add some extra valuable storage space. Or if the bathroom is larger you can put in a shelf unit right next to a wall that will store towels, and larger healthcare items.

Invest in organizers:

You can find organizers for a majority of your healthcare needs. There are toothbrush holders as well as shaving kits. By placing like items together things will be more organized and easier to find.

Why you shouldn’t buy in bulk:

Sure it’s great to get a real bargain on a 90-count roll of toilet paper. How long will it take to use it all up though? That toilet paper is wasting valuable storage space. Let it sit at the store instead. By buying smaller packages you can reclaim storage space in your bathroom. You won’t fill up an entire drawer with toilet paper or mouthwash. Just figure out a good quantity to keep on hand and buy when you need to replace it.

These are just a few ways you can help minimize bathroom clutter. Just figure out an organizational plan and your bathroom will look organized and clean in no time.

It’s really easy to clutter up a bathroom. You need to find a way to store hair care products, make up, shaving supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower products and cleaning supplies. With so many different items needing a home in the bathroom chances are the counter and shower spaces are prime real estate. Here are a few bathroom storage tips to keep everything organized and accessible.

• Zoning the bathroom counter top: A good place to get started is assigning each like product to a particular area of the counter top. For instance use the back left hand side for your shaving products and the back right hand side for oral hygiene. By giving each like group its own real estate everything will stay better organized.

• Invest in organizers: To increase the amount of storage area available, consider purchasing bathroom organizers. A toothbrush holder will take up a minimal amount of space but it will let you keep the brushes, toothpaste and dental floss all together in a tight spot. Consider a men’s valet for your shaving products and hang it on a hook next to the mirror to move storage off the counter top and onto a vertical space.

• Under the sink: If you have an under sink cabinet this is the perfect place to store your cleaning supplies. A good way to keep them tidy is to put a small basket inside the cabinet and then store the supplies inside the basket. This will keep them from falling over and rolling around.

• Organizing the shower: The inside of a shower doesn’t provide much storage space other than a soap dish or perhaps a corner of the tub. You can add to that space by purchasing shower organizers that hang from a towel rack or the showerhead. It certainly beats knocking everything into the tub when you have to reach behind a bunch of shampoo bottles to get to the conditioner.

These are just a few bathroom storage tips. With a little creativity you’ll have a well-kept neat and organized bath.
