And, regardless of the size of our home, we all keep the majority of our belongings in the bathroom. The fact that the hairdryer, laundry basket, feminine hygiene items, and manicure tools are always nearby is actually very convenient. However, few of us consider that such an ordinary location can cause irreversible damage to these items.\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>\u00a0Laundry basket\n\n\n\n</h2><p>A laundry basket in the bathroom is unquestionably a good idea. It&rsquo;s more convenient to put dirty clothes in before showering and use towels afterward. However, because of the increased humidity, mold and a sour smell may appear in your clothes. It will also encourage the reproduction of various bacteria, and even a washing cycle at 140\u00b0F will not be able to get rid of them.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image' size-full><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"539\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/b199b1506a961f769c22f76699.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-31191\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/b199b1506a961f769c22f76699.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Kitty litter\n\n\n\n</h2><p>It&rsquo;s all about the filler, which perfectly absorbs moisture while breaking down into smaller pieces. If you keep your pet&rsquo;s litterbox in the bathroom, the filler will absorb steam from the air and lose its properties. It also contributes to the spread of an unpleasant odor. Manufacturers recommend keeping the litter in a dry, well-ventilated area. Furthermore, people frequently close the bathroom door, which means your cat may be locked out.\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Towels and robes\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Nowadays, we see photos of nicely folded towels lying on open shelves in bathrooms, and robes hanging on hangers are very fashionable. However, if you decide to store them this way, you should forego the nice touch of a clean, dry towel. All because your towels and robes will always be damp, creating the ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. As a result, you&rsquo;ll need to find another location in your home to store clean bath items.\n\n\n\n</p><ul class='\"wp-block-list\"'><li>No\u00a0matter how hot and dry your bathroom\u00a0is, towels are always damp. That\u2019s why\u00a0I keep only those towels that we\u00a0are using in\u00a0the bathroom. The rest are kept in\u00a0the drawer in\u00a0the bedroom. It\u2019s not hard for me\u00a0to\u00a0bring a\u00a0stack of\u00a0fresh towels to\u00a0replace the dirty ones 2\u00a0times a\u00a0week.\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, try to&nbsp;avoid drying used wet towels on&nbsp;a&nbsp;hook hanger. It\u2019s better to&nbsp;place them in&nbsp;a&nbsp;well-aired room or&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;special towel dryer.\n\n\n\n</p><ul class='\"wp-block-list\"'><li>It\u2019s only extra towels that can be\u00a0stored folded or\u00a0rolled. If\u00a0you fold or\u00a0roll a\u00a0towel after you use\u00a0it, it\u00a0won\u2019t dry and will start to\u00a0smell bad! This option is\u00a0possible only if\u00a0you use a\u00a0towel once and put it\u00a0in\u00a0the wash right after. But in\u00a0this case, your life will be\u00a0an\u00a0eternal cycle of\u00a0washing, drying, and folding towels nicely.\u00a0\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"539\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/97981c5b9e8efc0ff79cdf2504.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-31192\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/97981c5b9e8efc0ff79cdf2504.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>Home plants can liven up the interior of any room and the bathroom is no exception. However, there is a range of conditions you need to follow. First of all, it\u2019s necessary to have daylight in the room because photosynthesis is not possible without it. If there is no window in the room, you\u2019ll have to get yourself a daylight lamp.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Secondly, you\u2019ll need to provide air circulation. The ventilation of the room is necessary for preventing rotting and the appearance of fungal diseases. Also, when humid air stagnates, mold and powdery mildew, which is actually very difficult to fight, can appear in the room and on the plants. In any case, you\u2019ll have to remove the plants from the bathroom and put them into any other room where there is a direct source of light.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Here is what one girl said about it, \u201cPlants in the bathroom is a bad idea for an ordinary apartment. There is no proper lighting, which means you\u2019ll soon get tired of frequently replacing the plants. It\u2019s hard to protect plants from the effects of synthetic detergents. There are constant temperature and humidity changes. If your bathroom is more than 100 square feet, if there is a window in it, and if there is a good exhaust fan in the room, then this idea is super. Ah, and there should be a cleaner who will be washing all these plants to make the idea perfect!\u201d\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"539\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/12ca2f5e48a03aded78b38da93.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-31193\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/12ca2f5e48a03aded78b38da93.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is&nbsp;that you can bring the plants with you before taking a&nbsp;shower to&nbsp;let them get saturated with moisture with the help of&nbsp;the steam.\n\n\n\n</p><h3 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>&ldquo;Every time I shower I pick a couple of plants to come with me.
