BATH & BEAUTY PRODUCTS
AND MEDICINE CABINETS
April
Give your daily routine a spring cleaning
by sorting through all of those bottles
and jars hiding in medicine cabinets, on
counters and in drawers.
• Toss expired makeup and skin-care
items, as well as anything you do not
use or like. Best makeup organizers.
• Clean drawers and shelves before
returning items
• Store heat- and moisture-sensitive
items (medications and some skin-care
products) away from the bathroom
Habit to cultivate: Keep a list of your
favorite bath and beauty products and
order them online rather than shopping
in person. This helps avoid overshopping
and impulse purchases.
Cleaning routines are much easier and
more pleasant when the supplies you
need are neat and orderly. Sheets, towels
and other household linens do not last
forever—go through them this month and
make some space.
• Recycle worn-out and stained towels,
washcloths, sheets and tea towels at a
textile recycling center. Find resources
here.
• If your child has graduated a bed size,
donate the old bedding to charity
• Clean under sinks and in any cupboards
where cleaning supplies are stored. Get
rid of empty containers and products
you tried but did not like
Habit to cultivate: Don't downgrade old
towels and sheets to "guest" status. Only
keep linens you would personally want
to use—get rid of the rest. Your guests
deserve better!
