The Bathroom Store your children's bath toys in a mesh laundry bag and hang it from the taps or the spout. Rather than having three brands of shampoo on the go all at once, see if you can find a brand of shampoo that is right for each member of the family. Unless your tub is clean and clutter-free enough to make any TV design show host proud, pass on the see-through shower curtain and the plain-glass shower doors. Otherwise, your fun new hobby will be cleaning your shower. Stash as much clutter as possible in the medicine chest and in the cupboard under the sink. Just one quick word of caution: store all of the hazardous materials in your bathroom in a locked box.
TIP: DO IT DAILY: Clutter-busting is an ongoing task. The secret to taming the clutter monster is to eliminate clutter on a daily or weekly basis. Set the timer for 15 minutes after dinner each evening. You'll be amazed how much clutter you'll be able to eliminate if the whole family pitches in for a few minutes once a day.
TIP: CLUTTER GURU: "June Cleaver made having a spotless house look so effortless....I resolved early on to become a slob when I grew up, since housework seemed to produce nothing but misery. (I succeeded spectacularly, by the way.)" - Susan J. Douglas, Where The Girls Are: Growing Up Female With The Mass Media
