Keep Bathroom Counters Clear Of Trash With A Kitchen Item You're Not Using

Keeping bathroom countertops clean can seem like an impossible task on those busy mornings when you're rushing through your routine to get out of the door on schedule. Trash may even pile up if you are unfortunate to experience multiple equally hectic days within a week. You can tackle that problem pretty easily by repurposing a dishwasher tablet container into a mini trash can to use for litter that would otherwise end up on your bathroom countertops. You likely dispose of the container once it is empty anyway, so this is a great way to put it to use.

Cover the labeling on the makeshift trash can with contact paper to give it a makeover. Once you are done, it will be convincing enough to pass for a store-bought trash can. However, if you have a small bathroom, you may still want to hide it under your sink rather than storing it on the floor to keep your bathroom clutter-free. You can line the DIY trash can with a plastic grocery shopping bag and dispose of the bag once it is full. If you routinely purchase dishwasher tab containers, you are lucky enough to be able to create multiple DIY trash cans to use throughout your home

This hack is as simple as placing contact paper right over your dishwasher tablet container and then putting your new bathroom trash can to use. When shopping for contact paper, you might want to select a color that complements your existing bathroom color scheme. However, you can also skip this customization step altogether if you plan to keep your trash can hidden away under your sink. The choice is yours. If you are interested in adding contact paper, the Yancorp Contact Paper is a great option because it comes in a variety of color options.

Once you finish preparing your DIY mini trash can, you can either place it in your lavatory to cut down on bathroom countertop clutter or use it elsewhere in your home. You also have the option to use the container for storage rather than as a trash can. It would be perfect for storing bathroom essentials or small cleaning supplies. You could even place socks or other small clothing items inside and slide it onto a closet shelf. This is a great decluttering tip for homeowners looking to organize deep closet shelves.
