Trying to keep the bathroom clean and tidy is very important. In fact, it’s one of the spaces in the home that we should take care of the most, both for hygiene and aesthetics.
In this sense, no matter how big or small it is, there are a series of cleaning routines that we must apply daily, to keep it disinfected and in the right conditions.
As we understand that performing these tasks isn’t always easy, below we want to share 13 infallible tricks to organize it and leave it impeccable.
1. Use storage containers to keep your bathroom clean
If you have very little space to organize the small items in your bathroom, stick a few storage containers on the medicine cabinet door and store your items there.
2. Make a towel organizer
If you don’t have a closet or shelf to store your towels, you can make a fun organizer using tin cans and decorative paper.
3. Put towel racks on the door
Take advantage of the back of the door to add on some practical towel racks. This will help you make more space, and everything will look better.
4. Make an organizer out of jars
Another good idea for organizing small items it to place several glass jars on a wooden plank screwed into the wall. These will give your bathroom a different design while keeping things organized.
They can be used to store toothbrushes and other personal hygiene utensils in an organized manner.
5. Hidden shelf
You can take measurements of the bathroom closet door to make a practical, hidden shelf.
