Bathroom Items to Declutter Right Now for a Clean and Organized Space

Writer's picture: Nathalie JonesNathalie Jones



The bathroom is one of the most frequently used spaces in any home, but it’s also a spot that can quickly become cluttered with unused or expired items. If your bathroom feels chaotic, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at what’s hiding in your cabinets, drawers, and countertops. Here’s a list of items you can get rid of today to reclaim order and peace in your bathroom.

 

1. Expired Medications and First Aid Supplies

Check your medicine cabinet for expired pain relievers, ointments, or prescriptions you no longer use. Dispose of them safely—most pharmacies or community centers have programs for proper disposal.

 

2. Old Makeup and Beauty Products

Makeup and skincare products have expiration dates, even if they’re not printed on the package. If it’s been sitting unused for over a year, or the texture or smell has changed, it’s time to toss it.

 

3. Empty or Nearly Empty Bottles

We’re all guilty of holding onto half-empty shampoo bottles or almost-dry tubes of toothpaste. Combine similar products if possible, and recycle the containers once empty.

 

4. Worn-Out Towels and Washcloths

Towels that have seen better days can make your bathroom look shabby. Repurpose old ones as cleaning rags, or donate them to animal shelters if they’re still usable.

 

5. Unused Hair Tools

That curling iron or hairdryer you haven’t touched in years is just taking up space. Donate functional tools or recycle broken ones at an electronics recycling center.

 

6. Expired or Unused Sunscreen

Sunscreen loses its effectiveness over time. If it’s past its expiration date or has been sitting around for years, let it go.

 

7. Travel-Size Toiletries

Unless you travel frequently, mini shampoo bottles and hotel freebies tend to pile up. Keep only what you’ll use and donate the rest to local shelters.

 

8. Old Razors and Loofahs

Razors can harbor bacteria after a few uses, and loofahs should be replaced regularly to prevent mold and germs. Toss anything that looks worn out or hasn’t been used in months.

 

9. Broken Jewelry or Accessories

If you have mismatched earrings, broken hair clips, or stretched-out hair ties cluttering your bathroom drawers, it’s time to toss or repair them.

 

10. Decorative Items That Don’t Serve a Purpose

If your bathroom is crowded with knickknacks, consider simplifying. Keep a few decorative pieces that you love or function and donate the rest.

 

Final Tips for a Decluttered Bathroom

Once you’ve removed the unnecessary items, give your bathroom a deep clean. Consider adding drawer organizers or baskets to keep everything tidy going forward. Remember, a clutter-free bathroom is not just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that feels calm and functional for your daily routine.
