5 tips for keeping your bathroom tidy
1. Organization tip
Sort out regularly
More than in many other rooms, a whole range of different items accumulate in the bathroom over time. These range from cosmetic samples to unused perfumes or aftershaves to various cleaning products. To keep your bathroom tidy, you should therefore sort through your belongings regularly. Keep an eye out for these products in particular:
1. Cosmetic samples:
Cosmetic samples can be problematic for bathroom organization as soon as the small bottles and bags start to pile up. If you want to try a product, it's best to use it promptly, otherwise it will easily be forgotten.
2. Gifts:
Perfumes and other cosmetics are popular gifts. However, if a fragrance or color does not suit your personal taste, you should consider whether you really want to keep the product. Alternatively, someone else might be happy to receive it. In that case, you could give it away as a gift.
3. Expired products:
Many bathroom and cosmetic products have an expiry date that must be observed. For example, sunscreen should not be used for longer than 30 months after the date of manufacture. You should also dispose of empty or almost empty products or use them up as soon as possible. Tip: Keep products that are almost used up within sight and within reach so that they don't get forgotten at the back of the cupboard.
2. Organization tip
Active sorting
It is particularly easy to keep your bathroom tidy if all items have their own designated place. Only leave out items that you need regularly or would like to display. All other items should be put away. However, some bathrooms are small or have an awkward layout that makes it difficult to fit in bathroom cabinets. In this case, practical accessories can help to keep your bathroom looking tidy:
Baskets
It is not without reason that raffia and wickerwork items are often found in bathrooms. Visually, they often fit very well into the ambience. Accordingly, baskets in various shapes are ideal for storing loose items.
Trays
Trays also help to create a sense of order in the bathroom. For example, arrange certain toiletries on a small tray so that you have everything within easy reach.
If you have sufficient space but not enough storage space in your bathroom, you could also consider creating additional storage space in the bathroom.
3. Organization tip
Use bathroom organization systems
The principle of "out of sight, out of mind" may work in the short term, but without order in the bathroom cabinet, it will also be difficult to keep the bathroom tidy overall. Especially with larger cabinets, drawers, and vanity units, it is therefore worth considering bathroom organization systems. These make it easy to organize the inside of the bathroom cabinet and, similar to baskets or trays, everything has its place.
4. Organization tip
Simple cleaning routine
How often you should clean your bathroom depends largely on the number of users and the products that are used regularly. It is therefore impossible to give a general answer to this question. You don't always need fancy ideas to keep your bathroom tidy – sometimes it's the small, simple things that make a big difference. A few regular, quick steps can go a long way. These three basic rules make an essential contribution to an efficient cleaning routine, which also makes it easier to keep the bathroom tidy:
Wipe down the sink
The sink is undoubtedly one of the most frequently used items in the bathroom. As a result, signs of use such as toothpaste or soap residue quickly accumulate here. Therefore, wipe it down briefly with a sponge or cloth several times a week. This takes less than a minute and has a big impact.
Wipe down and clean the shower
A lot of water often collects on shower walls after use, which also penetrates the joints. Under certain circumstances, this can promote mold growth. A simple solution for this is to wipe the walls with a cleaning cloth after using the shower. A squeegee for glass walls and delicate tiles also reduces stubborn stains and limescale deposits.
Clean the toilet
Cleaning the toilet is, of course, essential. Here too, regular quick cleaning will save you a lot of effort later on. For hygiene reasons alone, you should ensure that the toilet is completely clean after each use. Incidentally, rimless toilets are particularly easy to clean and reduce the amount of cleaning required to an absolute minimum.
5. Organization tip
Combining order and style
Keeping your bathroom tidy isn't always fun—unless you have some extra motivation! This is where aesthetics come into play. If you keep your bathroom in a certain style, it often becomes obvious how you want to arrange your items and furniture. This also makes it easy to spot "troublemakers" such as surplus cosmetic products, which can then be tidied away or sorted out. The following points can be taken into account, for example:
Hanging and folding towels
Whether towels are hung on the door or next to the sink area, they should be hung neatly next to each other to create a tidy overall look. If you have several towels, you can also make sure that they match in color and size. If you have towels that are not currently in use lying openly on the shelf, you can roll or fold them to create an attractive aesthetic impression.
Arrange deliberately
Bathroom accessories, cosmetics, and toiletries contribute to the overall look. Beautifully designed products can add visual appeal and make the bathroom look even more elegant. For optimal organization in the bathroom, you should also combine matching colors and sizes here—unsuitable items can be stored in the cabinet.
