Every item in a house has its own location. 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
A laundry basket in the bathroom is unquestionably a good idea. It’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 It’s all about the filler, which perfectly absorbs moisture while breaking down into smaller pieces. If you keep your pet’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 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’ll need to find another location in your home to store clean bath items.\n\n\n\n Moreover, try to avoid drying used wet towels on a hook hanger. It\u2019s better to place them in a well-aired room or on a special towel dryer.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n 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 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 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 The good thing is that you can bring the plants with you before taking a shower to let them get saturated with moisture with the help of the steam.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Dampness is the main foe of cotton, which tampons and hygienic pads are usually made from. This material is highly susceptible to mold spores and bacteria, while heat and moisture promote the growth and reproduction of microbes, which can affect your well-being. Moreover, pads and tampons can simply absorb moisture and swell. By the way, cotton balls, cotton pads, and ordinary cotton can suffer the same fate.\n\n\n\n Try to store the open pack of female hygiene items in a dry, well-aired place. It\u2019s better if each separate item has an individual package. It serves as a guarantee of their sterility even after you open the main package.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n No matter how good the quality of the steel is that your scissors, tweezers, and files are made of, sooner or later they will start to rust if you store them in the bathroom for a long time (even if you\u2019ve never used them). After all, steam is also water.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \u201cWhere else, apart from the bathroom, can you store a hairdryer and an electric shaver?\u201d you might wonder. It\u2019s logical and convenient to use these items in this room. However, the steam and moisture greatly decrease the working life of electrical appliances. And it\u2019s not just because this item can stop working if water or moisture gets inside, but it can also cause an electric shock if touched with wet hands.\n\n\n\n Due to\u00a0changes in\u00a0temperature and humidity, your nail polish will\u00a0spoil\u00a0faster\u00a0\u2014\u00a0it\u00a0will thicken and fade. There are many\u00a0places\u00a0that are more appropriate for storing nail polish like various boxes, drawers, closets, and shelves. The main thing to\u00a0keep in\u00a0mind is\u00a0that this item should be\u00a0stored in\u00a0a\u00a0cool dry place protected from light at\u00a0approximately the same temperature.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n The razor blades oxidize and rust due to increased humidity. Spare blades can deteriorate before you even start using them. That\u2019s why you can only store razors in sealed packages when it comes to the bathroom. Moreover, in order to extend the life of your blades, you should dry the razor after using it in order to avoid the appearance of rust.\n\n\n\n Wax starts to melt and the strip is no longer effective when exposed to high temperatures. If you don\u2019t use it right after exposure, the strip will lose its properties and won\u2019t be able to perform its function properly at the necessary moment. Manufacturers warn that wax shouldn\u2019t come into contact with water. That\u2019s why it\u2019s better to store wax strips in a dry place.\n\n\n\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every item in a house has its own location.
