### 3. 💊 **Cleaning Chemicals That Don’t Mix**

**Why it’s a bad idea:**
It’s common to store cleaning products under the sink, but **mixing incompatible chemicals** (like bleach and ammonia) can be dangerous if they spill or leak. Vapors can build up in enclosed spaces, leading to toxic fumes.

**Better spot:**
Organize cleaning supplies by type, and if you must store them under the sink, use **separate bins or trays** to prevent accidental mixing. Consider relocating highly reactive products to a utility closet or garage.

### 4. 🔌 **Small Appliances or Electronics**

**Why it’s a bad idea:**
Moisture and electronics never mix. Humid environments can corrode electrical components, damage plugs or cords, and even create fire risks.

**Better spot:**
Store small kitchen appliances like mixers, toasters, or chargers in upper cabinets, appliance garages, or a dedicated shelf.
