The Smart Way To Clear Clutter From Bathroom Counters While Keeping Products Nearby

Your dream bathroom can quickly become a source of frustration when your counters are overwhelmed with clutter, especially when it disrupts you from having a productive morning routine. Hunting for the right moisturizer or struggling to retrieve a towel from a crammed cabinet isn't the best way to start the day. Decluttering your bathroom can help you tame your countertop. Yet, as you put things away in cabinets and drawers, you might hate that your products aren't where you can easily see them. If you want to keep products handy and within your field of vision, try a smart decluttering hack: a suction cup container on your mirror.

A clutter solution anchored to your mirror keeps your products where you can see them, an important feature for anyone who is a "visual organizer." If you have limited space, using the mirror offers you another way to make the most of your small bathroom. Some people may also be forgetful and need to see their products or they forget they exist. This phenomenon, known as "object permanence," can be a factor in some people with ADHD. If any of these concerns describe you, use this helpful hack to declutter but still keep items within your vision.

Simply organizing products into bins and baskets under the sink may not work for you as you need to see them, but you still want a way to keep your lotions and other products off the bathroom counter. YouTuber @Clutterbug suggests you use a suction cup organizer, such as one meant for the shower, and put it on your mirror. Then you can place everything you need to organize, such as shaving cream, moisturizer, deodorant, and haircare products within easy (yet visible) access. 

When looking for the right suction cup basket to contain your clutter, start by lining up everything you need it to hold, so you can buy an appropriate size. Don't forget to notice the weight limit to ensure it can hold up, particularly if you have large product bottles to store. Look for any organizer that states it can attach to a "smooth, flat surface." You can find hundreds of suction cup basket options for sale on Amazon, however, a good pick might be this Sanno Suction Cup Shower Caddy, available for $29.99 in a two-pack.
