Along with the kitchen, the bathroom is the hallmark of the apartment. Although we spend much less time there than in other rooms, a cozy and functional bathroom can set the mood for the whole day. After all, the first thing we do in the morning is go in there to wash our face, and before going to bed, we brush our teeth in there.
We at Bright Side really value convenience and comfort. That’s why, today, we have prepared an article about things that prevent our bathrooms from becoming a feel-good place.
1. Poor-quality soap dish
When we get closer to the sink, we pay attention to the soap dish almost right away. We use it every day, and this item is constantly being influenced by both water and soap. So there is every reason to choose a soap dish made of quality material. We don’t recommend using plastic — it’s not a natural material, and scratches quickly appear on it. Glass and wood look stylish, but wood doesn’t last long and glass gets dirty quickly. We recommend choosing a metal or ceramic soap dish.
2. Carpet made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
These carpets are usually very inexpensive and come in wide rolls so you can cut them just the way you need to. And they also delight us with a huge variety of colors. However, PVC doesn’t absorb water, their period of service is short, and they look at their price. A better solution would be to purchase a cotton rug (their base is rubberized, and they absorb water from the outside) or a bamboo mat. Cotton rugs look stylish, and they’re usually dyed in soft pastel colors. And the mats, on top of the fact that they absorb and evaporate water well, are very wear-resistant.
3. No toilet paper holder
This problem is probably familiar to many of us — we are either too busy to finally hang the holder, or one of our housemates repeatedly places the toilet paper roll where it’s convenient for them. But paper sitting on a shelf or on a toilet tank makes the room untidy. In the meantime, the choice for toilet paper holders is almost infinite — plastic, metal, or wooden holders; holders with or without lids; holders that are installed on a wall or on the floor; and holders with suction cups (you can change their location however you like). The toilet paper roll won’t get dirty, dusty, or wet from water when it’s in the holder, and you’ll avoid the risk of having it fall on the floor.
4. A faded shower curtain
A worn-out shower curtain doesn’t just kill the coziness in the bathroom, but it can also make a truly repulsive impression. That’s why it’s very important to not forget to wash it regularly. It isn’t difficult to do — to wash ordinary plastic curtains, experts advise adding a capful of detergent, baking soda, a few drops of tea tree oil, and put it in the washing machine on delicate mode. A little life hack — when choosing a curtain, we advise you to give preference to curtains with weights along the bottom edge. This way, they won’t bend and you won’t accidentally splash water on the floor.
5. Bottles around the edges of the bathtub
It may be difficult to put numerous jars and bottles in their place. But even when it does happen, the result is usually very temporary, and soon they end up being lined up along the edges of the bathtub again. Why? Because it’s convenient. But it’s not very pretty. Even an expensive tonic from a world-famous brand will lose its appeal if you put it in the corner of the bathtub with a bunch of other hygiene products. It is better to install a shelf for all of the necessary bottles and put those that are rarely used in a cabinet.
6. Bathtub corners
The junction of the wall and the bathtub is an extremely problematic place, and everyone can see this area. Many people are used to using plastic corners to protect their bathroom against moisture and dirt. They are cheap and very easy to use. But these corners are only good at first, because over time, they change color, peel off, and fall off. And the water gets into the gaps, a fungus can easily form, and an unpleasant odor can appear. An alternative is to use a sealant or ceramic trim (it also comes in marble or granite).
7. Overly bright tile
When buying bathroom tile, it’s very easy to get carried away and suddenly choose a very colorful pattern. Moreover, the choice on the market is incredibly wide, from huge samples stylized as marble to acidic pink mosaic. It may be difficult to combine a bright color on the walls with the rest of the bathroom interior, and sometimes, the excessive abundance of colors in a small room can cause some issues with your eyes. An expert tip — look for tiles that mimic natural materials, like wood or stone.
8. Ropes for drying clothes
Ropes stretched across the room with clothing drying on them are a dubious decoration for the bathroom. And it goes without saying that in the wettest room of the home, clothes dry much slower. If the apartment doesn’t have a balcony, a washing machine with a drying function, a separate automatic dryer, or, if for some reason this is not suitable, a drying rack can become an alternative. Fortunately, there are many drying racks on the market that come in various sizes and materials. For example, an economical wooden one looks pretty stylish.
9. Glossy tile on the floor
If we look down at our feet in the bathroom, we are likely to see it. However, glossy tile on the floor is far from the best solution. It gets dirty easily, and stains appear on it very quickly. But the most important thing is that it’s slippery, and putting it under your feet is not just unappealing, it’s also unsafe. Yes, the gloss has the ability to visually enlarge the room. But designers still advise choosing matte tile because it isn’t slippery and looks stylish.
10. Plastic access panels
Access panels are mostly made of plastic and painted a bright white. Unfortunately, this immediately makes the panel stand out in the room and attract attention. It can be repainted, but it won’t be possible to make it “disappear” completely. And the white color of the panel often turns into an unpleasant yellowish one over time. How do you solve this problem? If you look around, you can find other models in construction stores. For example, you can come across panels that can be covered with paint or that look like tile, with hinged or sliding doors. They don’t look like the ones we’re used to, but they’re functional and look as neutral as possible in the interior.

No headrest on the bed

Every person spends about 1/3 of their lives (or even more) in their bedrooms, which is why they should be decorated in a pleasant way inside. You’ve probably experienced this feeling when you went into a hotel and thought, “Wow, how did they even do this?” We can help you feel this way all the time when you’re at home.
Bright Side has reviewed design blogs (and more) and prepared a small guide on the frequent mistakes that happen with bedroom decor.
1. Magenta, red, and white colors
Colors have an influence on the mood and behavior of people. With the right color, it’s possible to convince us to buy something, make us feel safe, or make us feel nervous. So, the colors in our bedrooms tell us how to feel. Muted colors help us to feel relaxed. When choosing between matte and shiny colors, it’s better to choose the former. It is believed that the best color for the bedroom is muted blue followed by: green
pale yellow
and silver The worst choices are magenta, red, and white colors.
2. Lots of pillows
Small pillows on the couch or bed make us feel cozy, but in reality, they are a lot of trouble. Just think about it: every time you need to go to bed, you have to collect all of them, put them somewhere, and in the morning, arrange them beautifully. It’s too much work. For good sleep, you only need one pillow, so get rid of the rest. If you want an extra pillow, it means that your pillow is wrong and probably not high enough.
3. Laundry basket
First, every time you see a pile of dirty laundry, your brain takes it as a task it needs to solve as soon as possible. So, it might be difficult for you to relax. Second, dirty laundry might have a bad smell.
4. Old mattress
Most people don’t know that mattresses have their own expiration period: usually, it’s 8-10 years. And many people still sleep on 30-to 40-year-old mattresses. The problem is, an old mattress can cause a lot of trouble with your back. You will be sore and feel tired in the morning. Besides, if you don’t clean your mattress regularly, it will be full of dust mites. The older a mattress, the more insects there are that live inside of it.
5. Bright lamp or chandelier
One of the worst ideas is a chandelier right above the bed. The light will shine right into your eyes and make it hard to relax. It will also be uncomfortable to read lying in bed. The perfect lights for a bedroom are 2 lamps on the sides of the bed.
6. TV
Most of us have TVs in our bedrooms which allows us to watch our favorite movies and series before going to sleep. But a TV that has been left on a bad influence on your sleep. It prevents your body from sleeping properly. If you can’t move your TV to a different room, don’t use it late at night.
7. Light curtains
The best option for the bedroom are really heavy curtains that completely cover the windows. Light and thin curtains let the light through, so it will be difficult to sleep, especially if you like to take naps. It’s important to not forget about the position of the curtains. The higher they are, the better. Otherwise, the walls might look too low.
8. Wrong carpet placement
Designers have a rule: big carpets should be placed right under the bed. The idea is that when you get up, you step on the carpet, not on the cold floor which will give you a nice sensation in the morning and set the tone for the day.
9. Bed sheets made of thick fabrics
If you don’t want to break the bank, don’t buy incredibly thick fabrics. If you see sheets with 1,000 or more TC (thread count — universal criteria for how thick the fabric is), this is as good as it gets. There’s no need to pay more. This is top quality, no matter what different manufacturers might say.
10. Embroidered pillowcases
Embroidery is, of course, nice and makes the place cozy. But the texture is not smooth which might make it difficult for you to sleep. Also, in the morning, you are bound to wake up with the pattern on your face.
11. Identical design
When all the furniture is bought at one store, from the same manufacturer, and has the same design, it means that the owner has bad taste.
12. Very low bed
The higher the bed, the more confident you feel. Besides, if the bed is low, there is not enough space to store things under it. This space could be used for a couple of drawers with the sheets.
13. No headrest on the bed
Designers say that beds without headrests are the same as windows without frames. The bedroom looks unfinished.
14. Blankets that reach the floor
An oversized blanket doesn’t make the room look spicier, on the contrary, it makes the room appear messy. Besides, it’s not very pleasant to use a blanket that’s been lying on the floor. You can make the look more interesting using color. If the walls are solid colors, the sheets should have some patterns on them, and vice versa, if the walls have patterns on them, the bedsheets should be solid.
What other bedroom decoration mistakes would you add to this list?


brightside--2020-12-03--12 Examples of When Someone Is Just Fooling You Instead of Apologizing

We all have to apologize and accept apologies in awkward situations from time to time .
However , sometimes apologies aren ’ t as sincere as we tend to think they are .
Saying sorry and not really meaning it is the same as lying .
And when someone makes the statement , “ I ’ m sorry , ” but doesn ’ t take responsibility for their misdeed , it ’ s called a “ non-apology apology.
” It feels as if this method of apologizing mirrors fault .
Formally , a person has apologized but at the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they aren ’ t feeling regret for what they did .
On the contrary , they transfer the guilt onto you for a natural and normal reaction to their actions— they did everything correctly and it ’ s you who perceived everything the wrong way .
2 .
“ Of course , your deals are more important than mine.
” This way of apologizing devaluates the interlocutor ’ s actions — the phrases that show the person seemingly is in agreement with you is , in fact , irony and is disrespectful toward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
By doing this , a person manipulates you , making it clear that your deeds , habits , and needs are nothing compared to their desires .
3 .
“ I was just kidding ” instantly neutralizes all offenses .
Perhaps each of us has been in a situation when the interlocutor has said something offensive and then added with a smile , “ Come on , don ’ t get offended , I was just kidding !
” Such “ jokes ” bear an attempt to show that offensive behavior is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close to heart .
However , the pain from such words is real and such apologies don ’ t bring any relief .
This is a nominal apology not for what happened but for what could have happened .
The whole phrase sounds like this : “ I ’ m sorry you felt hurt but if you didn ’ t feel hurt , I ’ m not sorry.
” This set of words disarms the interlocutor and puts them in an awkward position because formally , the apologies are there , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were said still remains .
There ’ s really very little ( if any ) regret in this way of apologizing .
In fact , the words “ I ’ ve already apologized a dozen times ” neutralizes everything said before .
When saying them , the opponent implies that there ’ s actually nothing to apologize for .
It ’ s called “ the deja-vu apology ” — a person apologized for their misdeed but the feeling of relief isn ’ t there .
6 .
The presence of “ probably ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of sincerity .
Words such as “ probably , ” “ maybe , ” and “ perhaps ” all sound unnatural when it comes to apologies .
Real regret is when we listen to the emotions of the offended party .
When saying something like , “ Right , perhaps , I should have ... ” it makes us understand that the emotions of the offended party weren ’ t actually that important .
Such an apology is more a formality and an attempt to finish the conversation faster .
7 .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , you know ... ” “ We ’ ve known each other for ages and you ’ re well aware that I have this kind of sense of humor.
” This type of apology looks more like an attempt to get out of an unpleasant situation than anything else .
There ’ s no attempt to understand the interlocutor ’ s feelings and apologize for the caused discomfort .
It ’ s just a way to dissuade a person from feeling what they feel and stop the unpleasant conversation .
This way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ considered an apology at all .
It looks more like a bargain when the offended party demands the other person pay a certain price to hear apologies from the one who offended them .
There ’ s no pinch of regret here because first , you need to pay for it .
9 .
Giving an apology because someone told you to .
The notion of saying , “ I was told to apologize to you , ” looks like a childhood scenario where adults normally teach small kids what and how to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oftentimes , the little offender isn ’ t able to understand what guilt is .
Kids simply say , “ Mom told me that I should apologize , ” not feeling a pinch of guilt at all .
The same type of apology from an adult costs nothing .
10 .
“ I ’ m sorry for all the bad things I did to you.
” “ I ’ m sorry for everything.
” This is a very general apology .
The person who offended you doesn ’ t want to think about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t take responsibility for their specific actions , and on the contrary , it ’ s a perfect way to not take responsibility for anything .
By apologizing this way , a person shows that they ’ re not even understanding what words or actions actually offended you .
An apology with no sincere regrets in it sounds like : “ I regret that it hurt you , ” or “ I ’ m sorry if it seemed to you that ... ” It feels as if a person is transferring their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they say something offensive and you felt bad about it .
“ Whose fault is it that you feel bad ?
Right , it ’ s yours .
And how dare you be offended by something !
”

We all have to apologize and accept apologies in awkward situations from time to time. However, sometimes apologies aren’t as sincere as we tend to think they are. Saying sorry and not really meaning it is the same as lying. And when someone makes the statement, “I’m sorry,” but doesn’t take responsibility for their misdeed, it’s called a “non-apology apology.”
We at Bright Side grew interested in this matter and decided to look at some examples of situations that we regularly encounter in our own lives.
1. “You’re exaggerating everything.”
It feels as if this method of apologizing mirrors fault. Formally, a person has apologized but at the same time, it’s obvious that they aren’t feeling regret for what they did. On the contrary, they transfer the guilt onto you for a natural and normal reaction to their actions— they did everything correctly and it’s you who perceived everything the wrong way.
2. “Of course, your deals are more important than mine.”
This way of apologizing devaluates the interlocutor’s actions — the phrases that show the person seemingly is in agreement with you is, in fact, irony and is disrespectful toward your needs, and it distorts reality. By doing this, a person manipulates you, making it clear that your deeds, habits, and needs are nothing compared to their desires.
3. “I was just kidding” instantly neutralizes all offenses.
Perhaps each of us has been in a situation when the interlocutor has said something offensive and then added with a smile, “Come on, don’t get offended, I was just kidding!” Such “jokes” bear an attempt to show that offensive behavior is normal and you just take things too close to heart. However, the pain from such words is real and such apologies don’t bring any relief.
4. Formal apology
This is a nominal apology not for what happened but for what could have happened. The whole phrase sounds like this: “I’m sorry you felt hurt but if you didn’t feel hurt, I’m not sorry.” This set of words disarms the interlocutor and puts them in an awkward position because formally, the apologies are there, but the unpleasant feeling from all the things that were said still remains.
5. “I always apologize to you.”
There’s really very little (if any) regret in this way of apologizing. In fact, the words “I’ve already apologized a dozen times” neutralizes everything said before. When saying them, the opponent implies that there’s actually nothing to apologize for. It’s called “the deja-vu apology” — a person apologized for their misdeed but the feeling of relief isn’t there.
6. The presence of “probably” in an apology is not a sign of sincerity.
Words such as “probably,” “maybe,” and “perhaps” all sound unnatural when it comes to apologies. Real regret is when we listen to the emotions of the offended party. When saying something like, “Right, perhaps, I should have...” it makes us understand that the emotions of the offended party weren’t actually that important. Such an apology is more a formality and an attempt to finish the conversation faster.
7. “Don’t get offended. After all, you know...”
“We’ve known each other for ages and you’re well aware that I have this kind of sense of humor.” This type of apology looks more like an attempt to get out of an unpleasant situation than anything else. There’s no attempt to understand the interlocutor’s feelings and apologize for the caused discomfort. It’s just a way to dissuade a person from feeling what they feel and stop the unpleasant conversation.
8. “I will apologize provided that...”
This way of resolving an issue cannot be considered an apology at all. It looks more like a bargain when the offended party demands the other person pay a certain price to hear apologies from the one who offended them. There’s no pinch of regret here because first, you need to pay for it.
9. Giving an apology because someone told you to.
The notion of saying, “I was told to apologize to you,” looks like a childhood scenario where adults normally teach small kids what and how to say something to settle a conflict. Oftentimes, the little offender isn’t able to understand what guilt is. Kids simply say, “Mom told me that I should apologize,” not feeling a pinch of guilt at all. The same type of apology from an adult costs nothing.
10. “I’m sorry for all the bad things I did to you.”
“I’m sorry for everything.” This is a very general apology. The person who offended you doesn’t want to think about what exactly hurt you. They don’t take responsibility for their specific actions, and on the contrary, it’s a perfect way to not take responsibility for anything. By apologizing this way, a person shows that they’re not even understanding what words or actions actually offended you.
11. “Enough already...”
A forced apology for something a person doesn’t feel guilty about can’t bring satisfaction to the offended party. Such a method of apologizing looks more like a wish to stop an unpleasant talk rather than an attempt to settle things. Oftentimes, it’s just a way to protect a person from the attacker.
12. “I regret that...”
An apology with no sincere regrets in it sounds like: “I regret that it hurt you,” or “I’m sorry if it seemed to you that...” It feels as if a person is transferring their guilt onto you. It likely happens when they say something offensive and you felt bad about it. “Whose fault is it that you feel bad? Right, it’s yours. And how dare you be offended by something!”

Cooking, bathing, and simply lying on the couch becomes 100 times more fun when you do it with your pet. Even if you don’t ask for their help or you want to spend time alone, they are always there to support you and pamper you with their attention. Each minute together, each minute in love.
We at Bright Side are sure that our beloved pets give us the purest love. We’re not far behind them either and our bonus proves it.

A sore throat, nosebleeds, and chapped skin and lips — these are only a few harmful things that dry air can do to our bodies. It’s also dangerous for our pets and most houseplants. This is why it’s so important to keep humidity in our houses at an appropriate level. And this is when a humidifier can come to the rescue and turn your home into a comfortable place for everyone.
Here at Bright Side, we decided to learn more about how a humidifier can improve our health and help us fight the discomfort that comes into our homes along with dry air. We’d love for you to take a look at the benefits we’ve discovered.
1. It helps combat viruses and bacteria.
Keeping the indoor humidity level at 43% or higher helps prevent the spread of the flu. Higher humidity can disable up to 86% of viruses that live in the air. If you have dry air in your home, it doesn’t get you sick by itself, but aerosol droplets from a sneeze or cough live and prosper in such conditions.
In winter, when the heater is on, it’s hard to keep the necessary humidity level naturally, so a humidifier, together with a moisture measuring tool, can do a great job at keeping levels safe.
2. It helps your skin and hair thrive.
Very dry air is a serious enemy to the skin and hair. Indoor humidity at a level of 40% can help you solve a lot of skin problems such as acne, dry skin, itchiness, and dry hair. Many dermatologists advise their patients to humidify the air in their apartments to keep skin feeling fresh and healthy.
3. It makes it easier to survive through coughing.
If you or your kid are ill, the most annoying thing to deal with is that cough, which can be dry and unproductive due to the dry air. This type of cough makes you feel even more sick since it interrupts your sleep and can last for up to 2 months. However, when you add some humidity to the air, this puts more moisture into the airways, making your cough more productive. As a result, you’ll recover faster.
4. It helps if snoring is your problem.
Humidifiers can help with snoring that’s triggered by breathing in dry air. They can be a great way to help this annoying habit often caused by nasal congestion and throat irritation. Dry air can irritate the tissues of your nose and throat, causing inflammation that can worsen snoring. Additionally, dry and dehydrated airways have thicker mucus, which can increase surface tension and make the risk of snoring bigger.
5. Your pets also benefit from humidified air.
Just like humans, super dry air due to central heating is harmful to animals. According to a veterinary opinion, a home humidifier or a pan of water on top of a radiator can prevent your cat from “kitty asthma.” And for dogs who may be suffering from the so-called “kennel cough,” humidifying the air may relieve this bad coughing.
6. It’s absolutely necessary for your wooden floors and furniture.
Wooden floors and furniture may be shrinking and swelling, and this is mostly because they lack humidity. If you want the wooden features of your home to serve you longer, professionals advise keeping solid wood furniture at a humidity level of up to 45%.
7. Your plants will be grateful for humid air too.
Sometimes plants need higher humidity than what your home can provide. Plants have developed naturally over a long period of time to survive in their regular environment.
For example, some plants are “fed” by a constant supply of vapor from the air. Trying to water these plants instead of humidifying them is like feeding a newborn baby solid foods. They just don’t know how to take them. To help your plants thrive, you need to turn on the humidifier from morning till lunchtime, and this will give them the best atmosphere.
8. It helps you save money on utility bills.
Humidity makes warm air in your apartment feel warmer because there’s less sweat evaporating from your skin. So you may not want to turn on your heating system to the maximum level and decrease your utility bill to some degree.
9. It helps prevent static electricity from building up.
With properly humidified air, static electricity in your home naturally dissipates. However, static electricity begins to build up when the air is too dry. Static electricity is most commonly associated with painful electric shocks when you touch a metal surface, but it can also warp or damage wood furniture, musical instruments, paper items, and cause blankets and clothes to stick together. Keeping the air in your apartment humid will help you avoid these issues.
10. It may be beneficial for adults and children during sleep.
Dry air can make both adults and kids feel a “clogged nose” effect. Another problem it may cause is nosebleeds. This can lead to interrupted sleep and overall discomfort during nighttime. Keeping the air humid by putting a glass of water under your bed helps your nose breathe freely throughout the night and sleep without waking up till morning.

Each time we see a logo from the past or landline phones from many years ago, we can’t help but think that old school is cool. These things are all a part of the world from our childhood, a time when we didn’t play games on our phones but spent hours in sandboxes.
We at Bright Side get nostalgic from time to time and would like to show you some things that can remind you of sweet moments from the past.
1. Remember when transparency was all the rage?
2. “My friends and I used to decorate our letters like crazy with these!”
3. When the minimalism trend is taken too seriously.
4. We need tougher phones.
5. The old Garfield phone was very interactive.
6. That feeling when you meet your first crush but your face is painted like a clown:
7. “’90s photoshoots at Walmart!”
8. “My old school Alf shirt”
9. Crumbling up the paper until it turned super soft instead of playing games on your phone
10. “The change machines at arcades — I can almost smell the room.”
11. It seemed like the whole world was on floppy disks.
12. “Was cleaning out the mother-in-law’s house and found old HitClips with Britney Spears’ ’Stronger.’”
13. “When people used to get dressed up to use the computer”
14. Original Nintendo DS
15. Those short talks on a payphone...
16. It was cool to collect The Simpsons toys.
17. “I found The Story of Star Wars record while going through my parents’ collection.”
18. “My dad as a teenager in his punk rock phase”
19. The fishing game — we still play it but as a mobile version.

Frannie and Trixie are the latest sister duo that’s making the entire internet gush. As a big sister, Frannie welcomed her baby sis with open paws, and Trixie took it as an invitation to stick around forever.
If you’ve been craving a substantial dose of cuteness today, look no further. Bright Side and these cuddly sisters have got your back.
The sisters became inseparable from the very first moment.
The very first time Frannie met her sister, they cuddled up on a cozy blanket so that tiny Trixie didn’t feel cold on a January night. This must’ve stuck with the little sis pretty hard because since then, they’ve become attached at the hip.
The 2 cuties do everything together, from keeping a close watch on the neighborhood to battling chilly weather by the inviting fire.
But Trixie’s favorite place to sleep is not exactly a fluffy blanket.
Now Trixie is literally glued to Frannie.
Even though Trixie is no longer a small puppy, she certainly still feels like one. She adores sleeping on her big sister and seems to be completely oblivious that she’s much bigger than the first time they met.
Frannie doesn’t seem to mind too much (even though she might not have a choice in the matter) and patiently serves as a pillow to Trixie.
Why dogs ignore their actual size
It’s not uncommon for dogs to act like they’re smaller than they actually are. Think about how often big dogs try to fit on our laps or take up more than half of our beds. Research actually found that dogs are perfectly aware of their size, but the theory says that habit is a much stronger instinct for them. They simply tend to act how they did as puppies because they felt safe in their owner’s lap or, in Trixie’s case, cozied up on her sibling.

brightside--2020-12-03--12 Things You Want to Keep Out of Your Bathroom at All Costs

We ’ re so used to going to the bathroom and finding the usual stuff there that we hardly ever stop to think about whether or not it ’ s actually “ normal ” to have those things in there .

We’re so used to going to the bathroom and finding the usual stuff there that we hardly ever stop to think about whether or not it’s actually “normal” to have those things in there. At first sight, it might seem like having your razor blade, or even toilet paper, stored there is sort of the obvious thing to do since you’ll be using these things in there, and only in there. However, it turns out that things that we normally find in bathrooms would better be stored somewhere else.
Bright Side wanted to raise awareness about a few hygiene and safety practices that we think are being overlooked, so we carried out some research online and found the most common objects stored in the bathroom, that should definitely not be there. You’ll be surprised to know that not even TP belongs in the bathroom!
1. Razor blades
It is common for razors to be made of steel in order to make sure they shave well and that they last for a long time. However, even if shaving in the bathroom is the most common thing to do, it is not really recommended to keep your razor blades in there. That’s because the bathroom is a very humid room. You have to keep in mind that prolonged contact with water can cause razor blades to rust more quickly. As a result, the blade will lose its sharpness and shaving will not only be less effective, but could also be more painful. Clearly, that also means that you should never leave a wet razor blade in the sink...
2. Towels
It’s clear that you need towels in the bathroom. They’re used when drying your hands or face after washing them and when getting out of the shower, but that still doesn’t mean the bathroom is the best place to keep them. In fact, it is far from advisable to have them there at all times. Like we said before, the bathroom is the room of the house where it’s more likely for mold or fungi to appear because of how humid it is. Having things like bathrobes, robes, or towels there can help germs build up in their fabrics. If this happens, not only will we be dealing with an unhygienic and odorous situation, but it could also be dangerous to our health.
3. Meds
It’s such a common thing for everyone to store and keep the medicines we commonly take on some kind of shelf, in a small cupboard or drawer in the bathroom. But actually, we should not be doing that. Storing these types of products in the bathroom can cause them to lose their healing properties more quickly and even spoil them due to the amount of humidity and heat that is released from both showering and continuously using the sink. Medicines lose some of their effectiveness and even expire sooner than they should when stored in humid and hot conditions.
4. Jewelry
Leaving our jewelry in the bathroom, or worse, near the sink or shower, is a big mistake that could cost us some of our favorite accessories. In this case what is very likely to happen is that the metal that the jewelry is made of (either gold or silver), or the metal of the bijouterie, could easily rust if it’s constantly wet or humid. Clearly, rusty jewelry is far from being shiny and beautiful, but could also be a health hazard. Jewelry needs to be stored in a dry place, away from water and any type of humidity.
5. Sunscreen
This is also a common product that is found on bathroom shelves and in drawers all over the world, despite the fact that it should be kept in a dry place. This cream, which is usually used on a seasonal basis, should not be stored in the bathroom, as the humidity could lead to the loss of its properties and effects. That’s pretty dangerous because you think you’re protected when using it, but you actually aren’t. Not only that but when not stored properly, sunscreen could even become a breeding ground for mold and fungus.
6. Perfumes
Being one of the most popular products to wear after taking a steamy shower or simply as part of people’s daily morning routine, it is not uncommon to find perfume stored in the bathroom. After all, it seems like the logical place to keep it. However, despite how practical it is to have your perfume right there, it is not a good idea to store it in the bathroom. Once again, it’s because of the effect that humidity, as well as sudden changes in temperature, have on perfumes. These could lead to our favorite perfume losing some of their scent or even going bad.
7. Manicure and nail polish tools
Again, humidity comes into play as an element that damages or at least alters the properties of our products. In this case, we’re referring to nail polish, but it can also damage manicure or pedicure equipment. The constant changes of temperature in the bathroom caused by showers or baths, or just by washing our face on the sink, can affect the consistency of the nail polish. Once again it can cause fungus or mold to appear in the polish, so it’s better to keep it away from the bathroom.
8. Electrical appliances
In this case, we are not only talking about the deterioration that electrical appliances can suffer due to the constant humidity they’re subject to, but also about the danger of having this type of object near a water source. I mean, we all remember what happened to Mel Gibson in What Women Want. It’s better to avoid accidents that can cause serious injuries or even worse consequences. For safety reasons, please choose another place to store these appliances.
9. Cleaning products
There are several reasons why storing cleaning products in the bathroom is not recommended. The same advice goes for in the kitchen, by the way. Storing them in these places could potentially mean that they are within the reach of children. We all know that’s the perfect recipe for disaster. Not only that but also both of these places are humid. There’s also lots of water around there. Humidity and changes in temperature can also have an impact on the properties of cleaning products. We have to look for a dry spot where small children cannot have access to these products.
10. Makeup and brushes
Both makeup and brushes are elements that are commonly used, maintained, and kept in the bathroom. Once again, the bathroom is far from being the right place to store them. Humidity and temperature changes can cause makeup to wear out faster, not to mention the potential this creates for fungus and mold to appear. These, by the way, could actually damage your skin, so you really want to avoid this from happening. Ideally, you should look for a dry and fresh place to store any type of product that will be in contact with your skin.
11. Extra rolls of toilet paper
In this case, humidity and water are not necessarily the problem like in the previous points, but it might even be worse because we’ll be talking about germs. The bathroom is a place that germs love for many reasons, so storing your toilet paper there, especially if you do it close to the toilet, could potentially lead to a great number of germs making your TP their home. In fact, there’s a thing called toilet plume, which is basically a fancy way of saying that when you flush, germs fly all over the bathroom if the lid is up.
12. Books and magazines
We all enjoy the occasional magazine while sitting on the toilet and it’s actually a common thing for people to bring their books in there when taking a bath. But humidity could permanently damage your books and magazines. In some cases, you could even open them and find mold in between the pages. A bathroom is a place that, no matter how much you clean it, has a lot of germs that are prone to living between the pages of our books and magazines. So, despite us encouraging all the readers out there, it might be better to keep books and magazines out of the bathroom and where they belong, on a nice shelf in the living room where everyone can see them when they come in.
