Speedy Bathroom Decluttering: Seven Inevitable Strategies for Swiftly Eliminating Disarray Instantly
Decluttering Your Bathroom: Expert Tips from Di Ter Avest
Decluttering your bathroom can be a transformative experience, making your daily routines less stressful and more efficient. Di Ter Avest, a professional home and lifestyle organizer based in Baltimore, MD, USA, shares her expert tips on how to declutter your bathroom effectively.
The first step in the decluttering process is deciding what to keep and what to throw. Be honest about your use of items and consider letting go of items not used in the last three months, unless they are seasonal items. Expired products, such as medications, sunscreen, and makeup, should be tossed for safety and effectiveness reasons.
Regular decluttering of the bathroom every three to six months or whenever it feels messy is recommended. Emptying everything out of the bathroom and laying it out will help bring out items that may have been forgotten and give a clear idea of what needs to go and what can stay.
Bathroom storage is generally limited, so it's important to be intentional with the products kept. Di suggests grouping bathroom items by type, such as toiletries, cleaning supplies, makeup, first aid items, and towels. Consolidating duplicates, such as combining multiple half-filled shampoo bottles or semi-full moisturizers into one container, can help save space.
Sorting bathroom items into categories also makes it easier to see duplicates or expired items and optimize space in a small bathroom. Setting a rule such as one-in, one-out for toiletries or a maximum number of towels can help maintain order in the bathroom.
Rinsing out and recycling empty toiletries containers is an eco-friendly way to declutter. Unopened, unused items within their expiration dates can be donated to shelters or charities.
Di stresses the importance of establishing limits to prevent clutter from returning in the bathroom. A clutter-free bathroom can make mornings less stressful, as it's the first and last space visited daily.
