Professional organizer Linda Rothschild's rules for a consistently clean, clutter-free bathroom:

1. Get rid of what you don't use. Be honest and be ruthless.

2. Don't buy more than you can store. A 36-pack of toilet paper can't double as an ottoman.

3. Don't start a second anything until you've finished the first.

4. Assign each product a specific storage space. You'll know what you have and you'll know what you're out of.

5. Use only clear plastic containers for storage.
