This process should take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending upon the size of your bathroom and how long it's been since you've taken the time to declutter it.

  1. Empty your hamper moving any dirty clothes into your laundry room.
  2. Then, back in the bathroom, fill the hamper with anything that belongs in another room. Look especially for things that don't belong in the bathroom, like clothing, shoes and jewelry. TIP: If your jewelry keeps finding it's way into the bathroom, maybe try storing your every day jewelry in the bathroom.

  3. Sweep the sink/counter top and replace items that are out of place.

  4. Next do the same in your drawers and under the sink.

  5. Re-store any items that found their way into the wrong spot. TIP: If an item keeps popping up in the wrong spot, consider moving it to a new home. Example: A make up brush that keeps making its way out of the drawer its supposed to "live" in might be better off in a jar by your sink.

  6. Take the hamper and return anything out of place back to it's designated storage spot.
