Clean Break: How to Declutter and Organize the Bathroom
Bathrooms are typically small rooms that play a huge role in our health, hygiene, appearance, and relaxation. But the frequent and steady traffic they get makes bathrooms a hot spot for clutter accumulation! In episode #290 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the sources of restroom clutter and offers strategies for making your bathroom an efficient, organized, attractive, and relaxing place.

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.
Pitch Problem Products
More of our audience members blame their bathroom clutter on too many products than on any other single issue, so this week’s assignment is to review the bathroom products you’ve accumulated and “thin the herd”:
- Gather all your bathroom products into one place. Pull everything out of all the places where you have stuff stashed!
- Sort by type: shampoos, soaps, dental care items, lotions, potions, bathroom cleaning products, other hair products, first-aid items, over-the-counter medications, makeup, etc.
- Selected the products that you’re currently, actively using and set them aside to keep.
- Reserve a reasonable back stock of surplus products, bearing in mind how long the supply will last at your usual rate of use.
- Dispose of any products you’re not using that are no longer suitable to donate or give away.
- Identify one or more recipients, then donate your partially used or unused products. Look for a buy-nothing group, a women’s shelter, a refugee program, etc., or share your excess in the break room at work or any similar place where people gather.
