If you find yourself having to hurdle over lumps of dirty towels or have even experienced stepping onto some foreign grime you can’t even recognize as you enter your bathroom, the area may be lacking some very important, functional accessories.  To help put some things into perspective, assess the current situation of dysfunction before applying the necessary accessories.   You can also make a stylish and salubrious impression by furnishing your bathroom with unique and helpful items.

Freshening Accessories

No one likes to enter a bathroom filled with lingering and unpleasant mysterious odours, so be sure to have plenty of air freshening supplies on hand.  Choices can be based on packaging style to suit decor, product convenience and effectiveness, or simply for liking the fragrance it delivers.

So what will it be? An anti-bacterial ocean breeze scented spray that allows you to combat odours and germs, or the dual functioning benefits of a fragrant toilet paper holder that releases a pleasant scent with every spin?

Ozone friendly aerosols and ornaments filled with scented potpourri or droplets of your favourite essential oils make wonderful environmentally safe fresheners. Or for a more lasting effect opt for an automatic wall-mounted freshener with timing features capable of delivering bouquets of pleasant aromas every hour.  Whatever the choice in freshening devices, a bathroom’s first impression is greatly measured by its welcoming odour.

If caught in a situation of unexpected company arriving and your air freshening resources have suddenly depleted, simply place as a small cupful of scented fabric softener in an inconspicuous area to quickly freshen up the room.

Clean and Tidy

Place necessary accessories such as waste baskets and towel racks in plain view. This will help to avoid and divert potential sloppiness from happening in the first place.  In the event that plain view tactics do not improve a messy situation, stop mess culprits in their tracks by using a visual aid, such as placing a large sign on the door that says; “Slob Prevention Training Program in Effect Until Further Notice”, and then removing the sign once the situation has improved.

Wall mounted soap dispensers keep your favourite cleansers and soaps neatly organized and hygienic and keep counter tops free from product clutter. For easy clean-ups of toilets, sinks, door-handles or any other bacteria breeding crevasses, furnish the bathroom with a stylish dispenser containing some handy disinfecting wipes.

Adding functional and stylish accessories will keep bathrooms looking clean and smelling fresh, which will benefit everyone.
