"Spring Clean Your Home and Medicine Cabinet with These Expert Tips"

As spring cleaning season approaches, it's important to remember to clean out your medicine cabinet. Replace toothbrushes every 3-4 months, contact lens cases every 3 months, razors every 5-7 uses, and loofahs every month. Medications should be thrown out by their expiration date, but over-the-counter pills are good for three years past the expiration date. Prescription medications should be thrown out by the expiration date. Disposal of old medications should be done through a drug take-back program or by following FDA guidelines. Medicine cabinet staples include acetaminophen/aspirin, antihistamines, antacids, antibiotic ointments, and a thermometer. Summer essentials include sunscreen, tweezers, OTC ear drops, and hydrocortisone cream.
