Toothbrushes, Drawer Dividers, and a Shower Caddy Rod
Once you have tackled cleaning and organizing in your kitchen, the bathrooms in your house are probably the next big challenge. These quick tips will get your bathrooms looking clean and tidy in no time. A well-organized bathroom is so much easier to keep sparkly clean.
Keep Your Old Toothbrushes
Use Kitchen Drawer Dividers in the Bathroom
Those same dividers you use for silverware and other odds and ends can be perfect for storing makeup, toothbrushes, floss containers, and other small items in your bathroom drawers. As in the kitchen, they serve the additional function of protecting your drawers from moisture.
Add a Second Shower Curtain Rod
A really cool solution for extra storage space in your shower is to install an extra shower curtain rod. Put it in the back of your shower, and you can hook a shower caddy right onto it. This provides plenty of space to store caddies for your whole family, overhead and out of the way. No more arguing about the messes everyone is leaving in the shower.
Wax Your Bathroom Tiles
Try waxing your bathroom tiles with car polish once a month or so. This prevents the buildup of grime.
