Storing certain items under the kitchen sink may not be advisable due to potential water leaks, spills, or exposure to moisture.

Here’s a list of things you should avoid storing under the kitchen sink:

Paper Products: Paper towels, napkins, or cardboard boxes can easily get damaged if they come in contact with water.

Electrical Appliances: Keep electrical appliances away from water sources to prevent the risk of electrical shock. This includes small kitchen appliances like toasters or coffee makers.

Wooden Items: Wooden cutting boards, utensils, or any other wooden items may warp or get damaged when exposed to moisture.

Cleaning Supplies with Bleach: Bleach-containing products can release fumes and may react with other substances under the sink, posing a safety hazard.

Non-Waterproof Containers: Avoid storing items in containers that are not waterproof, as leaks or spills may damage the contents.

Food Items: Perishable food items or anything that can attract pests should be stored in more appropriate places, such as the pantry or refrigerator.

Candles: Candles can melt or lose their shape if exposed to heat.

Plastic Bags: Storing plastic bags under the sink may encourage the growth of mold and mildew.

Important Documents: Avoid keeping important papers or documents under the sink, as they can be damaged by water leaks.

Paints and Solvents: Chemicals like paints and solvents should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from food and kitchen supplies.

Remember to regularly check for leaks and keep the area under the sink organized to prevent any potential issues.

As always, if you have questions of if there’s anything I can do for you regarding buying or selling a home, just reach out.
