Three places in your apartment where expired items might be hiding: get rid of them

Overdue items not only take up extra space and spoil the aesthetics of your home but can also be dangerous. Don't ignore this issue and regularly check your apartment.

Apartment therapy told us where to look for overdue items in the first place.

Kitchen

When you clean the kitchen, you shouldn't just focus on the expiration dates of food. When deciding what to throw away and what to leave, you will have to take into account the smell and appearance of the food because improper storage and a host of other factors can make it spoil faster.

Check not only the fridge but also all the shelves, pantries, and drawers. Look for expired canned goods, cereals, pasta, sauces, etc.

When the job is done, take a look at what you threw away. It may be time to rethink your grocery cart and eliminate foods that are constantly spoiling.

Bathroom

Several expired products may be hiding in your bathroom. These can be cosmetics or medicines. Look through all the jars and bottles.

Most packages have a small jar symbol on the bottom that indicates how long you can use the product after opening it to keep it safe and effective.

Make sure you don't use or store expired medicines and cosmetics as they can have a negative impact on your health.

Detergents

Over time, any cleaning products lose their effectiveness, so whether they are in one place or scattered throughout the house, check the expiration dates to make sure they are still usable.

Regularly checking your home for expired items will help you keep it clean, tidy and healthy.
