With the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bathrooms having their annual spring clean, almost 70% of people surveyed said they had found up to 10 unused pamper products, with the remainder having up to 30 bottles, packs and tubes simply gathering dust.<\/p>\nWith the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bathrooms having their annual spring clean, almost 70% of people surveyed said they had found up to 10 unused pamper products, with the remainder having up to 30 bottles, packs and tubes simply gathering dust.<\/p>\n
Shampoo is the most wasted product, closely followed by shower gel and moisturiser.<\/p>\n
Over a quarter of respondents said their bathroom also held host to out of date medicines, but most shockingly, 54% said that they would still use them regardless, with men proving to be particularly lax on this issue.<\/p>\n
The most common reasons provided for hoarding so many unused items in the bathroom was because people \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcforgot they were there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcalways buy too much and never get round to using it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, whilst 58% said most of their unused toiletry toiletries were from unwanted gift packs.<\/p>\n
Special store promotions were also cited as a key reason why Brits buy more products than they need, with 61% saying they would still take up a multi-buy offer, even if they knew they wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get around to using it all.<\/p>\n
One fifth of those surveyed by Dolphin* estimated that they had wasted just over \u00c2\u00a320 on unused pampering products, whilst it seems the Welsh spend the most, at an average of \u00c2\u00a324.72, compared to the more conscientious West Midlander\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spending \u00c2\u00a319.85.<\/p>\n
The bathroom cabinet takes most of this strain for half of those surveyed, followed by the windowsill and around the edge of the bath.<\/p>\n
Geoff Wells, planning expert at Dolphin Bathrooms, comments: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Whilst we may be a nation of pamper addicts, we accumulate too many beauty products that we never intend to use and this often means cluttered bathrooms.<\/p>\n
It comes as no surprise to us that over 60% of those questioned, wished they had more storage space in the bathroom, but despite this, we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to stop ourselves hoarding and so end up losing precious space.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153However, with careful planning, any bathroom can be designed to keep lotions and potions well organised and easy to find.<\/p>\n
Clever use of cabinets, sink space and shelving will make sure you optimise every inch of space, whilst keeping your bathroom beautiful – plus you can avoid wasting money on new products you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually need.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
