Whether you’re brushing your teeth, shaving your face, or putting on makeup, your new bathroom countertop installation will be put to considerable use. However, in your morning rush, it’s easy to make a mess. If you’re hoping to make the most of your new counters, use the following tips to keep them clean and decluttered.

3 Ways to Use a Bathroom Countertop to Its Full Potential

1. Use Glass Votive Holders or Canisters

Cotton swabs and balls might be essential to your daily beauty routine, but the plastic containers and bags they come in won’t complement your new countertop installation. For a bathroom vanity that’s fit for a magazine, use glass votive holders to stack circular makeup-remover pads or antique silver canisters for cotton swabs. Mason jars, vintage sugar bowls, and even tea tins are other attractive options.

2. Clean the Granite

To remove toothpaste drippings, eye shadow powder, and soap residue, you’ll need to develop a diligent cleaning routine. However, every material has different cleaning requirements, and granite is more porous than others. If you spill something on your countertops, use a cleaning solution specially formulated for granite, and wipe up the accident immediately after it happens with a rag or microfiber cloth. It’s also important to polish your granite weekly to restore its sheen and seal it around once a year.

3. Display the Best Items

It’s important to remember that your bathroom counters aren’t only a functional space, but they can also be a shelf fit for displaying beautiful items. If you have elegant glass bottles of perfume or cologne, arrange them on a tray in the corner of your countertop. You can also show off your new investment by placing a vase of fresh flowers in the opposite corner. In addition to elevating the look of the counters, the fresh scent of roses or lilies will transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis.
