Never store small kitchen appliances like blenders or coffee makers under the sink.
Water leaks can damage electronics.
Moisture plus electricity is a serious safety hazard.
5. Plastic Containers Not Made for Heat or Moisture
Even if they seem safe, storing some plastics under a moist cabinet can lead to warping, cracking, or chemical leaching over time.
✅ Safe Alternatives for Under-Sink Storage
Cleaning products only: Keep all cleaning chemicals together in a secure container, away from children and pets.
Trash bags or sponges: Store items that can tolerate moisture.
Install organizers or racks: Elevate items above any potential leaks to keep them dry.
