March Spring Clean #3

Your Bathroom!

 

The bathroom is one of the hardest to do a real spring cleaning, to truly edit what's allowed to stay because products in the bathroom are the most expensive in the house per ounce.  Perfume, prescriptions, makeup, etc.  

 

Linens:  Start simple and go through towels and wash clothes.  Use them in the garage or put in the cleaning supplies bucket, or donate.

 

Moxie Tip!* If you shift all bedding and towels to all white, replacing ragged/stained ones is exponentially easier and less expensive as it can be done piecemeal.  And if they need a splash of bleach, you easily can.  Add color and decoration elsewhere on less used items.

 

Medicine:  Expired medicine is not only ineffective but also poses accidental poisoning risks, so these need stay regularly reviewed.  To dispose of expired medicines, DO NOT FLUSH as it is poisoning our water supply and the treatment facilities are not designed to filter these products out, so hormones, antidepressants, steroids, painkillers, etc. are now identifiable in our drinking water.

 

Disposal of medicine in collier county is available locally, click here for the details.

 

To donate prescriptions, click here.

 

Make-up / Skin care:  Go through the drawers and linen closets and review all the products.  You must let go of the need to reassign the cost of purchase to your review process.  Get three grocery bags, on for garbage, one for donate, one for relocating (baby lotion for car) if you've not used it in a year, you won't, so add it to the donate bag.  

 

Perfume:  3-5 years

Lotion: 2-3 years

Eyeliner: 6 months-1 year

Mascara: 3-6 months

Blush, eye shadow, powders: 1-2 years

Foundation:  6 months- 2 years

Lipstick:  2 years

Natural products: 3-6 months

 

Apart from eyeliner and mascara, all make up can be donated, I take mine to the Women's Shelter.  

 

 

Once cleaned out, you'll start being more selective about future purchases and really enjoy using what you kept because you LOVE them.  

 

 

Restocking the Kitchen
