Medicine Cabinet

Medication:
You’d think that something called a “medicine cabinet” would be the optimal place to store pills and prescriptions, but heat and humidity cause medicine to deteriorate, making any cabinet in this room a bad choice. Instead, keep medicine in a kitchen cabinet, away from the stove and sink, or in another secure, dry, dark space. Keep medicines in their original bottles.

Practice good razor technique:
Keep your razor out of the shower, where it may stay damp, rust, and become a breeding ground for bacteria. Rinse it immediately after use, and store blade up so that it dries quickly. Replace blades or disposable razors after five uses to prevent bacteria buildup.
