The Game-Changing Toothbrush Storage Idea For Clutter-Free Bathroom Countertops

Bathrooms are some of the smallest spaces in our homes, and cluttered countertops can make them feel claustrophobic. You may be looking for the best way to make the most of your small bathroom; smart storage plays a big role in this. If you constantly have at least one toothbrush sitting next to the sink, it's high time to go vertical with toothbrush storage. Wall-mounted toothbrush racks have been around for decades, but luckily, racks have evolved to hold 21st-century brushes.

Even better, with cool adhesive technology, you can mount them in unexpected spaces with nary a screw in sight. A spot you may never have considered for toothbrush storage is the inner face of your bathroom cabinet door. For a while, we've been considering the inside of kitchen cabinet doors as one of the best ways to get the most out of small cabinet space. TikToker @julie.the designtwins introduced us to this somewhat uncharted territory for bathroom storage. Julie hangs a collection of brushes from the HouseGem toothbrush holder, a plug-in device that sanitizes brush heads, out of sight but still in an easy-to-reach spot. Taking advantage of this lesser-used spot cleans up bathroom clutter and can be a breath of relief for people with limited bathroom counter space.

Germ-zapping sterilizing toothbrush holders may dazzle you into shelling out twice or three times as much as you'd spend with a product with fewer bells and whistles. Reviews of the Housegem toothbrush holder are packed with praise, but also a number of complaints that the holder's electronic components don't hold up. When you buy anything electrical these days, you can expect a limited lifespan. For something as simple as a toothbrush holder, save some bucks with a product without plugs and fewer moving parts. Non-electrical, durable products are an easy way to make your home more eco-friendly.

There are low-tech holders made of plastic, metal, wire, or silicone. If you like the idea of an extra cover over the brush heads that may keep away some germs, LUEXBOX's five-slot wall mount toothbrush holder with cover might be a top choice. With no plugs involved, you won't have to worry about hanging this holder within a cord's reach to recharge the sanitizer.

Try this durable metal rack by YAYINLI that includes wide enough spaces to hold the bases of electric toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste. Lightweight wire basket-type holders like this one from Oasiteege have narrow enough spaces between the tray's bottom slats for even small-handled toothbrushes. With extra space for some toothpaste, a suction wall mount, rave reviews, and a tiny price, it's hard to go wrong with a holder like this one. For something cute and surprisingly versatile, try this set of six silicone toothbrush holders by Generic. If you only need a couple for toothbrushes, use them in other rooms for keys, tools, dish towels, and more.
