Things In Your Bathroom To Throw Out Now

1. Product packaging: Put cotton swabs in glass jars, instead, and you'll turn your bathroom into a spa-like experience, just by decluttering.
   
2. Free cosmetic samples: They sit in cabinets or drawers for much longer than they should.
   
3. Duplicates of anything: we're talking about having duplicate hot tools and toiletries. You don't need one hand soap dispenser, not multiple. The same goes for shampoos and hair products, too.
   
4. Abandoned toiletry products: Don't let it just sit on your counter or in your cabinet, though. Ask a friend if they want to try it; they may like it!
   
5. Expired medications and beauty products: Medications especially will lose its effectiveness and could even be harmful if used when expired. Beauty products, too, can irritate you or harbor bacteria when expired.
   
6. Old bath towels and wash clothes: As a rule of thumb, hand towels, bath towels and wash clothes should be replaced every two years.
   
7. Most likely, your toothbrush: Experts say you should replace it every three months, so if it's been longer than that, throw it out.
