Toss anything that’s damaged, ripped, torn, stinks, or looks beyond it’s prime.

What’s left in your shower area? If you’ve successfully cleaned everything out, you can move on to the next step.

If not, stay right here for some more helpful tips on putting things in order…

For items that are in large containers – Save space in your bath by decanting contents of larger containers into smaller ones. You might have some regular-sized containers, or empty trial or travel sized containers you could use. Store larger containers in a bathroom closet or storage area to keep your shower area clutter-free.

For expired materials – Take time to inspect whether or not bath items have expired or are past their prime. Open canisters, bottles, and containers. If anything has a strange odor, has separated or has changed color since you last used it, it’s probably time to dispose of it. You may also want to dispose of items you no longer like or want to use. Go on online to find out how to properly dispose of household waste in your local municipality.

For items you don’t need at the moment – Is your shower area crowded with five different types of body wash? Streamline your shower space by keeping only one type of each bath item. For example, you only need one shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap out at a time. Remove the rest and store in a bathroom closet, cabinet, or other location.

Find appropriate storage solutions.

Lastly, it’s time to replace items everything back in your shower area.

You may already have shower storage solutions available to you, be it built-in items, or hanging add-on racks and the like.
