The medicine cabinet or box are areas that many people forget to declutter and check items for expiration dates. Let’s make an effort to tackle this area once or twice a year?

Here is our step-by-step process

1. Gather all the medicine you have around your home.
2. Consider if you still need to keep that medicine.
3. Check for expiration dates.
4. Categorize them into most used, kids’ medicine, cold medicine, etc. 
5. Store them in a safe, dry space. Kitchen cabinets and linen closets are ideal spaces. Do not store them in the bathroom since the humidity could damage the medication.
