A kitchen cabinet under the sink or bathroom vanities may seem like the perfect place to store household items.

Garbage bags and cleaning supplies will remain unharmed, but the same cannot be said for 5 other things.

Electrics and tools

Multicookers, pressure cookers, blenders, coffee grinders, mixers and other appliances are best stored elsewhere. According to hygiene experts, kitchen tools should not be kept near household plumbing.

Leaks and even damp environments can cause equipment failure. For some mechanical tools, dampness is also a threat.

Paper products

Towels, bags, paper napkins will quickly lose their attractive appearance when stored in a humid environment. Spoiled napkins can no longer be placed on the festive table.

A pantry, linen closet, or shelf away from the sink are great options for storing paper products.

Vegetables

The conditions under the sink are not ideal for storing potatoes, carrots, or other vegetables. They are best kept in a dark, dry, cool place.

Bed sheets

Some housewives store bed linen under the sink in the bathroom. But it is better to keep the set away from sources of moisture, so that a damp smell does not appear.

Decorative cosmetics

Experts recommend storing decorative cosmetics in a dry and cool place.
