The 4 Things You Shouldn’t Store in the Cabinet Under the Sink

Better Alternatives for Under-the-Sink Storage

So what can you safely store under the sink?

  • Cleaning supplies (in sealed containers)

  • Garbage bags

  • Dish soap or dishwasher tabs

  • Brushes or gloves (hung up or kept dry)

Just make sure to keep everything well-organized and elevated if possible, in case of small leaks.

Conclusion:
The area under the sink may seem like handy extra storage, but its high humidity levels make it unsuitable for certain items—especially anything that’s absorbent, perishable, or electrical. Rethinking what you store there can protect your food, your appliances, and most importantly, your health.
