The bathroom is a special place in any home. It’s where personal hygiene and calls of nature are tended to, after all. As a responsible home owner, it’s your responsibility to ensure that whoever uses your bathroom has a good time in doing so; otherwise, you may end up getting into some embarrassing situations.

One of the best ways to do that is to ensure that certain bathroom essentials are always well-stocked at your home. To help you get started, here’s a list of some of the more important ones.
Microfiber towels. Having towels in your bathroom is pretty much a given, considering that they serve the all-important purpose of helping you dry yourself from a shower or bath just before you step out. However, there is a better kind of towel out there, one that’s not only softer and much more luxurious but also worlds better at soaking up moisture and scrubbing bacteria away from your skin.
This type of towel is called microfiber towels. They’re called so because they’re made up of more numerous fibers than regular towels, with each fiber thinner than a human hair. This allows them to pick up a lot more moisture than regular towels, as well as pick up tiny pieces of dirt, grime, and bacteria with every pass. Improve your bathroom experience by finding the best microfiber towels and stocking up on them instead of your regular towels.
Dental floss picks. Many dentists and doctors agree that flossing should always be a part of your daily bathroom routine, as it removes plaque and other food debris from between teeth that brushing can’t remove. Plaque buildup in those areas can cause all sorts of health problems, from cavities and gingivitis to infections that could spread all over your body. However, flossing using string floss can be tedious and slow, which can make adopting it as a habit especially difficult.
This is where dental floss picks come in. Dental floss picks are essentially small lengths of floss stretched across a disposable dental pick. This allows you to floss one-handedly, and not have to devote a considerable amount of time and effort into manipulating a length of floss between both hands. And when you’re done, you simply toss the pick into the trash can. No fuss, no muss!
Toilet paper. Everyone can always use more toilet paper, and you don’t want to unexpectedly run out of it during an emergency. Besides its conventional use, toilet paper is also handy for many in-bathroom uses, such as wiping up messes, removing makeup, temporarily patching up shaving cuts, and so on. Always make sure you have an adequate amount of toilet paper stocked away in your home.
Toothbrushes. While it’s reasonable to assume that you’ll be sticking with your toothbrush for quite a while, it’s still a good idea to have a small supply of spare toothbrushes in your home. Having a spare toothbrush on hand will spare you the inconvenience of having to go out and buy a new one when your old standby breaks or wears out unexpectedly. It’ll also save your guests from doing the same when it turns out that they have to crash at your place unexpectedly.
Cleaning supplies. General bathroom cleaning supplies such as detergent, toilet brushes, and toilet cleaner should always be in stock at home. Keeping your bathroom well-maintained and cleaned is one of the most important things in keeping a house in order, as well as ensuring that harmful germs and bacteria that could cause illnesses are always kept at bay. Also, make sure that these cleaning supplies are always kept out of reach of children.
Bathroom air fresheners. A fresh-smelling bathroom is an inviting bathroom, so make sure to always have a stock of either spray-on or hanging air fresheners. These ensure that any odors and smells are masked or eliminated.
Conclusion
The bathroom is one of the most important amenities of any home. By always keeping a healthy stock of the essentials listed above, you can cut down on the many possible embarrassing and inconvenient incidents that could happen within your bathroom. Your family, friends, and unexpected guests will love you for it.
