In everyday life, we have the habit of storing objects in places that are not appropriate just to take them “from the middle of the house”. A writer for a website specializing in housekeeping advises that certain items should not be stored, as they generate a mess unnecessary. Curious, huh?

Jennifer Rodriguez, from Pro Housekeepers, told the Daily Express some notions about items that should not be stored in cupboards that we have in the “dirtiest areas” of the house. She reports that they can do the opposite: create an entirely unnecessary mess. In addition, they are not properly stored.
Bathroom
- Towels
The humidity present in these spaces can damage certain objects that are not resistant or that were not made for these situations. One of these cases is the towel, which can receive moisture in the bathroom, not dry properly and have an unpleasant odor.
- Makeup
Another item that is not recommended to be stored in the bathroom is makeup items, also due to humidity, as it can damage them. It is better to store makeup in the bedroom or in a place protected from moisture and sunlight.
Kitchen
- Vegetables
As a more general rule, vegetables should be stored in ventilated and sun-free fruit bowls or even in the fridge. Vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers and squash can be kept out of the fridge as long as they are not cut up. Carrots, leaves, watermelon and melon, especially when ripe, should be kept in the refrigerator.
- electronic household appliances
There is no risk of damaging your appliances, but she recommends that, for the sake of aesthetics, not leave them stored in cabinets.
- large pots
Also with a view to aesthetics and organization, the editor recommends that pots, especially the big ones, like pressure ones, stay out of the cabinets.
- larger utensils
She recommends that larger utensils, such as a rolling pin, not be stored. They can take up a lot of space that could be used by other items. See another space to keep them.
