The cabinet under the kitchen sink is one of my go-to storage spots in my kitchen. Its convenience lies in its central location, though on the other hand, I’m not too crazy about how disorganized it tends to get down there (and not to mention the looming threat of water damage should any leaks occurs in the plumbing!)
So in order to keep myself organized and prevent unnecessary damage, I did some research to determine once and for all what I should not keep under my sink. I’ll be sharing these under-the-sink no-no’s with you today, along with a few recommendations of items that you should keep under the kitchen sink! 🙂
7 Things You Shouldn’t Store Under The Kitchen Sink
1. Harsh Chemicals
Everyday cleaners are a-okay to keep under your sink, but harsher chemicals like bleach? Not so much. For safety’s sake, store any harsh or corrosive formulas like bleach, drain cleaner, etc., in more secure location to away from curious kids and pets.
2. Tools
Storing wrenches, drills, and other tools under the sink might keep them close at hand, but storing rust-prone tools directly under a water source is just asking for trouble! Any sort of leak or drip could quickly cause rusting, so it’s just not worth the risk! Instead, store your tools in covered toolbox in a dry location, like your garage or a closet.
